My experience under Mr. C’s tutelage was a life changing experience. During the classes that I was privileged to take under him, I enjoyed some of the fastest growth, both mentally and emotionally, I have ever experienced. Throughout that time, I was guided in an open and friendly environment where I felt that my thoughts and opinions were appreciated and welcome. I was challenged and stretched as my comprehension and study skills were strengthened. I learned and applied new skills, including the ability to make connections between things that I was studying and my everyday life. As I was pushed to grow throughout the semesters (even though it hurt a little bit along the way), I have been proud and grateful to be able to look back at the growth I made, and see how much my life has been changed for the better, all because of one inspiring, influential individual.
