Hi all! 
 I need a mentor this weekend in the field of math. I have a tun of math homework to get through which is all due on Tuesday. I need someone who knows how to teach the TI84 graphing calculator because my homework requires this tool. Unfortunently, all the local resources that can help me are closed on Monday because of Martin Luther King Day and I also don’t have any local friends who knows this awesome tool. Can I get a volunteer to help me on Monday? I urgently need a hand here because I don’t know the calculator and I have had little luck in getting a private tutor to get me started. So far, we have only used the calculator twice in class. But I’m not sure if the etutoring service will be open on Martin Luther King Day. The manuals and Utube vidios have not been helpful at all!!! I have waisted a whole Saturday trying to use the tutorials and vidios without any luck. I need someone to hold my hand on the calculator to get me started, at least, until I get the hang of how to use it. The big area where I’m having trouble is using the calculator to do more advanced math beyond the every day math which are adding and subtracting, multaplication and devition. But I need someone to walk me through how to work the graphing features on it. My boy friend has to work that day and he’s also not a techy. I don’t know anyone outside of my school who can teach me the calculator and unfortunently, I can’t wait until Tuesday to get the hang of the graphing features. Can I get a vollunteer to walk me through the graphing features of the calculator? The level of math I’m working with is college algebra. If not, can anyone link me up to the best resources to walk me through the calculator? I need resources that can tell me where each button is located such as telling me things like “the math button is the second button on the top left but below the top row below the calculator screen” for example. I also need to know what the major functions of each button is and how to use the buttons in question that allow me to  actually get the calculator to make coordinent plain graphs with tables, algebraic equations and algebraic functions. I need step by step clear plain English dirrections on the order and location of the graphing buttons. I need something or someone who can teach a total novis who happens to be blind on this high tech calculator that also fit the needs that I have just listed. I already own the calculator. In fact, it’s right now in my lap as I’m writing this Email. You are welcome to call, text or Email me. My information is at the bottom of this email.
