For my artistic piece, I decided to create a tree on a SolidWorks &#8211; one of the many engineering CAD programs that help us build and model structures. I used this software because we have to use building blocks and steps when creating different models- much in the same way we solve math problems. I decided to build a tree because much like the tree diagrams that we have been using, they help us connect ideas. A tree has branches that connect it to its many leaves- a community made up of individual people. My collage has different views of the same tree because although we all look at the same problem, our perspective isn&#8217;t always the same. Sometimes we have different perspectives and different ideas, but when we put them together, we can come together to solve a problem. Trees symbolize life and growth, just how we grow together as a community learning math.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Melissa Lepe<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-gb296-69d68bb178ec5-4-0-2\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image\" data-index=\"6\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-b062fe5d1106-296\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><h3 class=\"widget-title\">Hailey Godinez, Villa Student<\/h3>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/sites.ps.uci.edu\/mathceo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/04\/IMG_1521-1024x785.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.ps.uci.edu\/mathceo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/04\/IMG_1521-1024x785.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.ps.uci.edu\/mathceo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/04\/IMG_1521-300x230.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.ps.uci.edu\/mathceo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/04\/IMG_1521-768x589.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.ps.uci.edu\/mathceo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/04\/IMG_1521-500x383.jpg 500w, https:\/\/sites.ps.uci.edu\/mathceo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/04\/IMG_1521-800x613.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sites.ps.uci.edu\/mathceo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/04\/IMG_1521-1280x981.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/sites.ps.uci.edu\/mathceo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/04\/IMG_1521-1920x1472.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/sites.ps.uci.edu\/mathceo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/04\/IMG_1521-1536x1178.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.ps.uci.edu\/mathceo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/04\/IMG_1521-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/sites.ps.uci.edu\/mathceo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/04\/IMG_1521.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"Hailey Godinez, Villa Student\" alt=\"\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-gb296-69d68bb178ec5-4-0-3\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"7\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>&#8220;When I think of Math CEO I think of friends, family, and more. I love that my mentors are funny, they use filters. They also make each lesson worth while and encourage us to come.\u00a0 They even made example binary, we learned about binary today. Wenxi and Dylan said \u00a8Hot coffee of frozen smoothie\u00a8 and \u00a8Cats or dogs\u00a8 or \u00a8Will the sunrise?\u00a8. So when I think of Math CEO I think of memories yet to come and past memories with them. So to my mentors Wenxi, Dylan and Erin, thanks for making me wanting to come to math CEO and making me feel welcomed and teaching me math that I needed when other people

UCI is a very amazing place to learn math. They influence us to try hard math and not to give up. UCI wants us to know that we can do amazing things in life. I can imagine a million moments that I can never forget. UCI is like my second home. [&#8230;] They helped me understand that I can do hard math problems even if I think I can\u2019t. We can do anything we want as long as I tried. UCI also influenced me to go to college because I see all different type of people who are hungry for learning and I want to become one of them. [&#8230;.] Without math, I won\u2019t be able to know how to solve problems, and I won\u2019t find a good job because every job wants people to know math. The most memorable moment that I had in UCI was when my whole entire group finished the packet after thirty minutes. We were all proud of ourselves and proud that we all can do anything if we put our minds to it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-gb296-69d68bb178ec5-6-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"19\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-gb296-69d68bb178ec5-6-0-1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><h3 class=\"widget-title\">Jose<\/h3>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<div id=\"main\" class=\"wrapper style1\">\n<div class=\"container\">\n<section>UCI math has influenced me in a way that I have been growing and growing in my Mathematics.

It can also help me with mortgages and buying a house. What I am saying is you need Math for all kinds of situations.

One thing that they taught me was that the way to do good in math is that you can\u2019t let other people do the work for and you just pretend to understand it. [&#8230;] They also help understand that math is used in every job from making a dress or building a robot. They made a power point every meeting we went there.

It taught me how to work with others and help others. Going to UCI also will help me with my future career, because I want to be a construction worker and because we use math every day. I saw a career presentation that talks about Urban Designer and I could notice how much math they need!

I met Jocelyne the first day she started 6th grade. She was very shy and told me she could not do math. She was very sweet, but very insecure. Jocelyne joined UCI Math CEO without knowing that her life would be changed forever. Every Wednesday she went to UCI she was excited and started trusting herself. She worked hard, collaborated in groups, and little by little her confidence and knowledge grew. When Juan got scared and cried, he said he would stay in the club, but only if he could be in Jocelyne\u2019s group. WOW! The little shy girl provided support for a boy whose math level and confidence were much higher than her. This year as a seventh grader, Jocelyne was placed in Math Honors class. The placement in the highest level math class made her mom and her extremely happy and her mom\u2019s face was shining as she told me thank you for all that was provided to her daughter the previous year. A week ago Jocelyne walked in my classroom and looked worried. It turned out she needs braces, but the only time her mom can take her to the orthodontist is on Wednesdays during the UCI Math Club. She knows she needs braces, but she also wants to make sure she stays in the club. I had to assure her that she can still actively participate in the club while getting her braces. It is great that the club also meets on Thursdays this year, so when Jocelyne has a dentist appointment, she will not miss on her UCI experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-gb296-69d68bb178ec5-10-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-gb296-69d68bb178ec5-10-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child\" data-index=\"30\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-gb296-69d68bb178ec5-10-1-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>Through interactions with the UCI mentors, our parents learned that where somebody comes from does not determine what they can do with their lives.

It has been a very rewarding experience, and I truly enjoy it. I am looking forward to the next quarter when we resume our Math CEO meetings. Reflecting on the program&#8230; I wouldn&#8217;t be honest if I say it is easy to teach middle school students. Getting their attention and keeping them focused on the task is a challenge by itself. I understand that they are coming after their school day and are tired already and I do everything (sometimes even use humor) to make sure they don&#8217;t feel overwhelmed but see our meetings as a fun math activity rather than studying. Also, working on the problems without giving away the answers and too many hints requires another set of skills. I really enjoy asking them guiding questions that lead to answers. At the end, seeing the excitement on their faces when they find the solution to the problem makes all my efforts worthwhile. I believe I am making a difference in their life by instilling confidence that they can achieve any goal they set before themselves. During the break, when we have a presentation on careers, I always ask my students what they see themselves doing after high school and I encourage them to go for it. I want to see Math CEO grow and prosper, including more schools and having more volunteers, as it has a noble goal of giving disadvantageous kids the confidence that they can go to college and become any professional they choose.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-gb296-69d68bb178ec5-12-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-last-child\" data-index=\"34\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-gb296-69d68bb178ec5-12-0-1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>I have worked as a tutor and a teaching assistant, but I think that being a MATH CEO mentor has added valuable contribution to my goal of becoming a teacher. I get to explore working with middle school students, whose personalities and skills can be very difficult to gauge. The coordinators of the program were extremely nice and professional. I recommend this awesome program (flexible yet structured) to anybody who plans on working with kids at the middle school level prior to enrolling in a credential program&#8230; or even after completing the credential program.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-gb296-69d68bb178ec5-12-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-gb296-69d68bb178ec5-12-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child\" data-index=\"35\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-gb296-69d68bb178ec5-12-1-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>I joined Math CEO during Fall Quarter 2015 when I saw the email from the School of Education. I really wanted a chance to teach math to students, because it is one of my favorite subjects. Of course, it had been 3 years since I had done any math, and all I did was teach my freshman friends calculus. When I first came in to tutor, I was scared; there was no telling what it would be like for me to work with middle schoolers. The questions were difficult and I spent hours in the night trying to find the best way to explain the material, but implementing those explanations was much more difficult than I had ever imagined. That very first meeting changed everything for me about my teaching methods and motivation. I\u2019ve come to every tutoring session ever since to learn more about myself and to help these students get ready for college. My favorite moment so far was when I came into the wrong room for tutoring, and some of the seventh graders shouted over to me to be their tutor. I told them I wasn\u2019t scheduled for the room that day, and I left to my assigned room. We only meet once a week which makes me sad, because that moment meant a lot to me. I feel like I made a connection with these kids and maybe inspire them to do better in math.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-gb296-69d68bb178ec5-12-1-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"36\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-gb296-69d68bb178ec5-12-1-1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>I was surprised about the content of Math CEO. When I first found out about it, I thought it was just an<br \/>\nopportunity to teach kids and gain insight as to what the profession is. Now, I can see it&#8217;s all of this and<br \/>\nmuch more: it&#8217;s a way to find a safe community to support and to get support, and it&#8217;s a way to give<br \/>\nstudents a chance to learn and strive academically.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-gb296-69d68bb178ec5-12-1-2\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-last-child\" data-index=\"37\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-gb296-69d68bb178ec5-12-1-2\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>Every time I participate in MathCEO I have a great time!
