Whats one fun fact about you?
How should students prepare to take your class? What are things they should know before taking your class?
To be able to cope relatively easily in a chemistry class, it is advisable to have a prerequisite in mathematics and English.
What advice would you give to incoming students?
Do not forget the main reason why you come to high school, so stay focused on your work and avoid distractions. Be determined to do well and never give up if something appears challenging. Do not hesitate to ask for help if in doubt of anything. Believe that there is something very good in you, lift your head, and look forward for the best.
