Practice is the basic word while it comes to math. Math is a boon and learning is always fun if taken in the right spirit. Students should not avoid math and should learn it well from the very beginning. Besides parents and school teachers, they can ask online math tutors for help. There are several online tutoring services available to help them, irrespective of the grade. Some of them specialize in math, for instance, tutorteddy.

The silence here is deafening. I wonder why such positive news articles about the East Palo Alto community always receive so few comments...
Anyhow, this story is nothing short of amazing. Every individual has the potential for success, and hard work always pays off. Kudos to Ms. Trujillo and the Be The First program! Keep up the great work.

Thank you for the Kudos Yasmin, as the Club Director of the St. Francis of Assisi Youth Club Bianca serves as an inspiring teen and a great example of the work we do with our kids in East Palo Alto. For the kids at the Youth Club East Palo Alto is nothing but a great community that gives them the opportunities they need to better achive in their future!

Sadly, Yasmin is correct. This is wonderful news to read, but it's unfortunate only a few of us have posted comments.
I've had great interactions w/St. Francis of Assisi's various programs through the years, including their youth club. They do great work on a small budget. I'm so glad to have them in the community & give thanks for their supporters.
I would love to read more stories about this organization.
