Calculus
So, at the start of the year I didn't know how I was going to get through Calculus. And then, I was blessed with a man called John Barger. He has been the most amazing teacher I've ever had. I really don't think I would have gotten through it, ESPECIALLY the second half with out him.
A little while a go I emailed him for some life advice, and he said he was the wrong person to ask, but pointed me in the direction of some excellent people to ask. So I did, and have next year sorted at least. Today he gave us the outline for the exam, but there was no true/false section (traditionally a Barger staple) so I emailed him to see if this was indeed correct. He emailed me back and said it was. I emailed him back and told him that it had been a pleasure being in his class this year. He thanked me and then asked me if I'd sorted myself out. I was so pleased that he'd remembered and cared enough to follow up. I just told him that I'd met with Dr. Brown and he'd given me some great advice and told me some classes to take, which I am doing, and that taking a bunch of classes next year is the only way I'll know.
This is why I love Barger. He cares about us and our success so much. He really doesn't want to screw us over, and is genuinely proud of us when we do well.
I will miss him.
