February second marked a before and an after. A young teacher, timid but firm, arrived at the school. He was the first man in your academic life. He asked you nervously: *"Excuse me, where is the auditorium…?"* You showed him the way, becoming his first guide. Now, May twelfth, 2026, you help him control the thirty-nine students during math class—you note down the disruptions and keep calm while he teaches, despite the complexity of eighth-grade material.
