He missed 10 days of school and several finals during this time. We worked hard to prepare him for exams that he could take. He stated how much he hated missing Mr. Gehrman’s class because he needed to hear him talk about the subject. Jake stated this teacher made the material interesting and pertinent. He enjoyed listening to his examples, as it helped him remember the material. He liked how he went over short stories in Literature class and made the stories come alive. Jake survived pneumonia and his finals. Jake still refers to some of the topics in the psych class and recently used a story he read in Mr. Gehrman’s class to write diocesan assessment.
