STUDENT TO TEACHER

Despite the need for him to work several jobs to meet his financial needs, Indar was never behind in his studies. In fact, when he was taking his first quarter class in Differential Equations, they were given their home assignments for the entire quarter at the beginning of the term. “I looked at the assignments one weekend and got so involved in trying to solve the problems that over the course of that one weekend I completed all the work of the entire quarter,” he says. But when the professor learned and saw Indar’s work, he was so impressed that he offered him the position of Technical Assistant (TA) where he had to grade the work of the other students. For that entire quarter, Indar earned $1.25 per hour for five hours a week. That was a big honor and encouragement to Indar to complete his degree.
