About Mr. Nishimura
Welcome to a new year at ACRMA8.
I was born in LA, but moved to Seattle when I was one, where I was raised. My dad is from Kyoto, Japan, and my mom is from New York. Throughout school, I saw that math was a subject that a lot of people struggled with, and soon began to dislike. Because of this, I made it my goal to become a math teacher and try to change peoples' minds. I attended the University of Washington, where I majored in Mathematics with a focus on education. I really love math, because I love puzzles and problem-solving, which math involves a lot of. I hope to share that joy with you all!
Interests:
Hobbies: I really like the outdoors and being active. I enjoy most sports, but the main ones I play are tennis, basketball, and Frisbee. I like to work out, and go hiking and backpacking in the mountains.
Favorite Sports Team(s): Seahawks and Spurs.
Favorite Foods: Teriyaki and Carne Asada Burritos
Favorite Books: I like fantasy and science fiction. Game of Thrones, Ender's Game, Harry Potter, Eragon, Redwall, The Passage, and many more.
Favorite Subject: MATH!
Great Quotes:
“It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”
- Albus Dumbledore
"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
- Michael Jordan
"I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it."
- Morpheus (The Matrix)
