Two Words that Changed a Life
Caleb Miller, a Harvard College graduate, credits his freshman algebra teacher's comment 'Why not?' with changing his life trajectory. Miller is now pursuing a master's degree at Harvard Graduate School of Education and plans to continue teaching high school math.
Caleb Miller's life was changed by his freshman algebra teacher in Coal City, West Virginia. The teacher circled 'Harvard' on Miller's homework and wrote 'Why not?' next to it. Miller graduated from Harvard College in 2020 and is now pursuing a master's degree at Harvard Graduate School of Education. He completed a yearlong teaching residency at Somerville High School and hopes to continue teaching high school math. Miller initially worked as a quantitative trader in Chicago but found it unfulfilling. He is now in the Teaching and Teacher Leadership Program at HGSE, teaching geometry five days a week. Miller is grateful for the financial aid he received, including the Harvard Fellowship for Teaching, which made his career in teaching feasible.
