Lauderdale teen who visited Iraq says he’ll tell his story after calculus exam

Posted in Math, News, Math 1a at 6:56 am by leingang

Here’s the story of a guy who’s got some of his priorities straight. Farris Hassan, 16, of Ft. Lauderdale, traveled secretly to Iraq to practice what he learned in his high school about “immersion journalism.” He’s promising to talk about what he saw there, but has to catch up on his schoolwork:

“I have a big calculus test on relative rates of change that I need to study for, so I have a lot of things going on right now,” Hassan said.

Good luck on the test, Farris, and we’re looking forward to hearing about your experience.
