Today I spent two hours helping Mesbah, an Afghan refugee 7th grader work on a huge packet of math problems. Math is not my strong suit, and as we struggled together, I was reminded of how so many students like Mesbah are challenged every day with words and phrases they don’t understand, just as I don’t understand the language of math very well. Fortunately for me, Mesbah was very forgiving when I made mistakes, and I felt blessed by his kindness.
