What did you like most about being at CH-CH? I really liked how our teachers knew us by name, even if I wasn't in their class, and are always there to help. I liked the  small class size; the teachers were able to take time to help us to thrive.
What was your favorite class? That is a tough decision. I would either say with say Photography with Ms. Solorow or Anatomy and Physiology with Ms. Calderone. I took Black and White Film Photography my freshmen year and it really sparked my interest in photography. In the spring of my junior year, when it was time to choose classes I had no interest in taking a science. I ended up signing up for Anatomy and Physiology. At the beginning of the year I was quiet in class because I am so squeamish, but by the end of the fall trimester I was having a blast learning about the different body systems.  
 
How did CH-CH help you personally? It helped me come out of my shell and become more open about my Learning Difference. Before CH-CH, I wasn’t really open about trying new things, but when I came to CH-CH I tried 3 new sports (Cross Country, Field Hockey and Volleyball).  At my old school I wasn’t open about having a Learning Difference since there weren’t a lot of kids who have them. I became open about it at CH-CH because I knew that I wasn’t alone and that the teachers here want to help me succeed.
