My favorite memory at Monroe High School was the opportunity to meet some amazing teachers throughout my four years of high school. One of those amazing teachers was Miss Julie Oddo. Miss Oddo had the biggest heart for her students and always greeted everyone with a smile on her face. She was always willing to lend a helping hand and wanted nothing but for her students to be successful. She had the most impact on my life as she helped me to overcome many obstacles I faced my junior year. As many know, Covid-19 hit in 2020, the end of my sophomore year, leaving my junior year to be completely remote. This was not an easy transition for many, especially me. There were many obstacles that had to be overcome by adjusting to this new concept of "school." Learning online was so difficult, and navigating the challenges technology brought was not easy. Math was one thing that never came easy to me. I gave it my all and never gave up despite how hard it was, but the remote learning made it even harder. The teacher I originally had the first semester of junior year was a difficult one, and didn't explain much of the learning very well. After struggling for a while, I went to one of my math teachers that I had freshman year begging for help. She told me she didn't have much experience with the math three curriculum, and offered for me to see Miss Oddo for help. She walked me down to her classroom and she greeted me with a smile offering to help me with whatever I was struggling with. She helped me better understand what I needed to know for the test we were supposed to take the next day, and then offered for me to join her math class the next semester. Little did I know this change would be the best thing for me academically, as I was able to grow in my skill and understand what I was learning. Throughout the second semester Miss Oddo offered times for me to meet with her on zoom after class. I remember one day I was on zoom with her for an hour after class so I could get more individual help. She was so supportive and understanding of me. If it wasn't for her, I'm not sure how I would've made it the rest of my junior year.
