Ms. Geary is very patient and understanding and relates to us on a personal level. She encourages us to be our true selves but also pushes us to achieve academically and socially. I love going to her class, because she always has high energy, and tries to make lessons engaging for us. I know she cares for us because she can instantly tell when something is wrong with us without even saying something. She respects our boundaries, and meets us where we are. She never allows us to settle for less, and is realistic about how we can go about achieving goals. She doesn't stick to geometry but also emphasizes real life skills. Ms. Geary is not only a teacher but a mother figure for many students.
