Congratulations to
Life-Changing Teaching Award Nominee
GONZALO ARAYA
CROCKETT MIDDLE SCHOOL
STUDENT RECOGNITION STORY
Something that makes Coach Araya awesome was the way you taught the class. During my eighth grade school year I had a good experience with math. Math was probably my least favorite subject but during 8th grade you actually made me look forward to going to my 4th period. Some things you did that made me excited to go to class was probably how you made each one of us interact with each other and how you interacted with us not just as a teacher but also as a friend. Some things that made us know you actually cared for us is how you would be chill with us but you still made sure we learned and didn't slack off on our grades etc. You made me better at math and more confident in talking to new people. Somethings that you supported me in and outside of the classroom was making sure I was okay whenever I seemed sad or off some times I would be sad and every time you said something it would usually always be funny so it would make me days.
