Compassion

Through the compassion of two of my teachers from High School I was able to pursue a project that I was very interested in. I came up with the idea of replicating an experiment done by some researchers at UCLA, making an x-ray machine. The physics teacher at my school, along with the shop teacher, showed an understanding of what I was trying to do, and in my mind, showed me compassion. They helped me with my machine through the whole process. They were always available for questioning and I was never afraid to go to the them when I needed help. This compassion was very important for not just the success of the machine but my own self esteem when I thought I would not be able to succeed.
