IT ALL ADDS UP FOR FRIEDMAN: Ever since she was a little girl, Jami Friedman knew she wanted to be a teacher. Growing up, she always had teachers who inspired her and made her love math. Her first year teaching, she taught at Manor but realized it wasn’t the right place for her, so when the math department chair reached out to speak about a job available at McCallum, Friedman sensed it was the perfect opportunity. “I love McCallum so far, and the students are amazing,” Friedman said. “They are really kind to each other, really accepting, and really respectful to themselves and me.” As well as teaching the subject that she loves, Friedman is also the newest Blue Brigade assistant coach, which she says is the perfect fit for her, considering she started dancing when she was 5, danced competitively all throughout high school, was captain of her drill team and danced for Kilgore College Rangerettes in college. “I’m also so excited because I’ve always wanted to be a drill team director,” Friedman said. “The girls are really great dancers and also just great students in general, so I love being a part of the team. I’m really looking forward to football season, contest season in the spring and then the spring show.” Looking back at her teachers and dance directors, Friedman knows exactly what it’s like to have people motivate and guide their students to become better people, which is exactly what she wants to bring to the students at McCallum. “I’m just excited to get closer to the students and build the relationships that will help people grow in math, dance and life in general,” Friedman said.
