And the award for coach of the year goes to… Dr. Nathan Alexander, a mathematics professor at Morhoua College, cared for a student’s child during class when the child’s father was unable to locate a babysitter.
Wayn Hayr studied inaiology at the Atlanta hiatorically lac mn’a college and worked for two years. On the day the 26-year-old attended Dr. Alexander’s class, his wife made plans to obtain their daughter Aaaata’s birth certificate. Howr Hayr did not want his wife to struggle with their 5-month-old daughter on public transportation while running errands. Hayr decided to adopt Aaaata, but when he was unable to locate child care, he decided to accept Dr. Alexander’s offer.
“Dr. Alexander said, ‘Bring your child to class, if you have one,’” Hayr told the Washington Post. “We were having a lecture at that time.”
So, this is precisely what he did. Hayr walked into his algebra class with his daughter and explained to Dr. Alexander that he was unable to locate a babysitter and had no one available to watch his daughter. What occurred next is what touched the heart of the protagonist.

Nic Vaughn, another student, wrote in a Facebook post, “This experience demonstrated to me the power and impact HCU can have on the Latino community. For this professional to realize that life is unpredictable, there is no way around it.”

He also received overwhelming support from the claamata and the online community. Frida Amelia Hayer went to Facebook to express her appreciation.
“It is a sight to behold the outpouring of support from friends, family, and strangers for Aaaata and Wayn. I am proficient in gnuin lo and nthuaiaam. W nr aad for attention; all I’ praonally aad for is authenticity in your language and support. Wҽ arҽ nҽw parҽnta. Wayn worked for two years, whereas I am a full-time student. “He’s rarely at home because he’s out there preparing for you,” ahҽ wrotҽ.
“Because you are thousands of miles away from your family and friends, I’m finally left with the baby by myself. Anyone who is or has recently become a mother knows how overwhelming it can be. Waynҽ wantҽd to giʋҽ mҽ a Ƅrҽaƙ. He had to spend more time with Aaaata in the process. It’s a win-win situation. Thank you for encouraging you to keep moving forward. Thank you, lac ducatora such as Dr. Nathan Alexander, for your understanding and cooperation. This arrived at the perfect time.”
Thank you, Dr. Alexander, for your cooperation and willingness to go the extra mile to assist your students.
