College Attended: Davidson College

What are your memories from the classroom? I always loved that my teachers used their imagination to teach. It wasn't always read, read, read from the textbook, though there was a lot of reading. Sometimes it was acting, drawing, painting, writing. They allowed and encouraged us to articulate the lesson in a manner that suited us best.
What did you gain from your CH-CH experience? My four years at CH-CH strengthened my desire to achieve. While I was there the teachers strongly encouraged me to challenge myself with all the work they gave. Usually, the homework perpetuated the idea of critical and unconventional thinking; ideas and imagination were always welcomed in the classroom.
 
Do you have an example of a teacher helping guide you?  I have too many favorite teachers, but they're favorites because they were unconventional.
