I only taught Colin one time (Calculus 12 this year) but that was more than enough for me to realize what a great student - and person - he is. Colin would always come early to class (pretty unique seeing as almost half the class would regularly come LATE to class) and when he did he would always welcome me warmly with a "good morning". Plus, every time I helped Colin with his Math, he would thank me sincerely. Who wouldn't like a guy like that! Friendly, polite, AND appreciative! Amazing combo!
Other stuff about Colin:
- was quick to offer to help when I needed some assistance with the grade 7 Math contest
- is German (or at least speaks it) but has no accent. Why is this?
- is a GOOD Math student. One of Colin's secrets to success that you should adopt: when he makes mistakes (rare) he makes a point of figuring out exactly what the mistake is and how to fix it. Smart!
- has a great smile and flashes it often
- wore a VERY nice suit to grad
- soft-spoken but confident. When he speaks I have to listen carefully (he's not loud) but I WANT to listen carefully (he's interesting and thoughtful).
