2.I decided to help Luke because I noticed he made pretty good grades and he wasn't even trying super hard, so i figured with a little motivation and help on things he didn't understand great he could become student of the month easy. I also enjoy Luke as a student, he never messes around and he tries to do his best.
3.When I first started helping Luke I thought he had a pretty good chance of becoming student of the month. I wasn't positive because it was to early in month to tell and I did not know who else was running.
4.At the end of the month I still couldn't tell if he was going to make it for sure, but I knew he was definitely one of the top students in the running because he hit all the expectations and he is a great student. 
5.I think that Luke deserved to become student of the month. I believe this because I could see how much effort he was putting into this. Luke is a great student and he deserve to be recognized for all the great things he is going.
6.When I first learned Luke became student of the month I was happy. I was happy for him because I knew he deserved it and all the hard work he put into this paid off.
7.If I could say anything to Luke I would tell him that he is a great kid. He's not just a great student, but he is a great kid and if he keeps working like how he did to achieve this he could achieve almost anything he puts his mind too. 
8.I teach geography and I helped Luke by letting him come to my school during lunch or after and before school so I could give the help he needs not just in my class, but I helped him in some subjects that I knew about.

2.When Luke became student of the month I was happy for him.
