'The Biography and Life of Stanley L. PitchfordItalic text' Stanley was born in the late 1970s in Saint Louis, Missouri My Mother, Who passed away on Mothers day at the retirement age of 65, Was a very smart woman. My grandmother raised her, and did a great job. My other used to get honors grade in school. Smart in multiple subjects, including math. My father, Stanley Tilghman also was great in math worked at the United States Post Office where he and my mother met and later I was born. My mother was a Mail Clerk for the Post Office. My grandmother raised me for the most part, getting me thru grade school. I failed the first grade, because I was sick alot. I attended Baden Elementary School in North Saint Louis, MO. But this school was not good enough for me so I transferred to Stix Investigative Learning Center and finished my Elementary school years. I began to get smart with math and writing. I loved playing basketball, baseball and football. I had dreams of one day playing in the NBA like so well like greats Michael Jordan and Lebron James and Kobe Bryant. I admire Shaquille Oneal's game as well. I began to get smarter in school in science and math. I graduated from Mason Middle and heard about a great tech school called Gateway. In 1992, I started attending this great school, and by the time I graduated, I was on the National Honor Society for math and Science, My GPA was 3.426. My goal is to be the best I can be with what God has given me. I understand hard work and how much effort you must put into things to be successful and see the glory. I made the cross country team, the track team, and made Junior varsity basketball team. I continued to love math and science so much, by the time I graduated, I wanted to be a doctor. But I dont like disecting nothing but a piece of Lee's Fried Chicken so pursued a career in Math instead. I began teaching in 2001, my first math class was Intermediate Algebra at Saint Louis University and I enjoyed it then. But nowadays, God has given me more wisdom to explain the math better as a Math Professor. I am a Science Fiction Novelist of two books in a sequel called Destruction Via the mirror image, Parts 1 and 2. My books, which are red and orange, were published in 2007 and 2008 respectively. In 2010, I published a third book, entitled The Gift of Rhyme. Its a black book with a microphone on it, basically has 211 poems and rhymes that talk about life. In 2013, I began a quest to be a recording artist of the song SWEATIN IT JUST FOR YALL. The song is a great video to dance to, and even lose some weight from. Currently, I am losing weight, but its not from my song. The key is walking alot and eating less. In 2015, I produced my first and only album of music which made no sales but still was an album. The Album was called LYRICAL QUALITY. After seeing so much violence in the city where I live, I created a music video entitled "THANKFUL FOR EVERY BREATH" the song sparked attention statewide. Even though these songs are on youtube, they are not popular but these songs had meaning and purpose for my life to move forward. Even in 2020, with this covid-19 era I still love to write rhymes and make songs, I just do it in a mask!! I have done many things in my life in over 40 years time, but God has blessed me to do these things. I have helped thousands in math since 1998, and I pray that God allows me to help thousands more the next 40 or more years. I have been teaching almost 20 years now and God has given me a great mind to help people and explain in such a way that the student understands not me. I thank God for this ability and I hope you enjoy my wikipedia page!!

My name is Stanley Pitchford. I will be your online Survival guide for this Summer. Many students call me Mr. P. I am very creative in certain things and in others, I just do more critical thinking. In my spare time, I am either many beats for another song I want to write, or I am entertaining on YouTube promoting my work out video rap song. I have taught this particular class over twenty times, and helped thousands of students with this class. I have been with the college over 16 years, and I am very down to earth and I care about my students success like my own. Student that had me before always liked my personality as a math teacher. I set very high and critical expectations for myself because I believe that is needed to be successful to get where you want to be in your career. I wish you the best this summer and I hope you can learn a lot and use it to your advantage in future endeavors. Thank you for taking my class.
