2 Weeks Old and Ready to do Some Math!

Rai, today you turned two weeks old.
Two weeks is an important milestone, an age at which an infant turns into a man. And, as you enter into manhood, it is time that you accept the responsibilities of a man.
You've had two weeks to eat, sleep and basically laze around so now it's about time for you to get down to work. With that in mind, your mom brought you to school today. We believe that there's nothing like getting an early start on your education so we sat you down on one of the table's in my classroom (you're still a bit small for the chairs), put that Geometry textbook in front of you and got you going.
Things seemed to go well at first but quickly all those x's, y's, circles, sectors, radii, and areas were too much for you and you used that oh-so-common student escape mechanism: you started to cry.
Not to worry my boy, we'll go over all these concepts a bit more each day and before you know it, this stuff won't seem so tough. No need to cry, math is great!
