Mine is Computer Info Systesms. I actually failed it one quarter because we were doing boring things. REALLY boring things. Then we did FrontPage 2000, something I've never used. Then I flew. I crated great sites using tables and a great PowerPoint presentation on 007 that go wows with it's music and naration.

I'm going to take Advaced Computer Apps next year that will refine my Photoshop skills and I'll be able to learn Flash MX DURRING SCHOOL TIME!

Definately AP Government and Politics. If it weren't for that class and my teacher, I wouldn't have been a political science major or have a clue of what I wanted to do with my life. Also Honors Physics (translation: robotics). I definately learned so many leadership and managerial skills.

I have a few Sociology and honors government because they helped me develop who i am as a person, and A+ computer repair because it helped me figure out what i want to do with my life + it saved me money on tech-support.

Hmmm..... I learned how to love learning again through a class or rather a program called the learning community that had a similar approach to mentor-style teaching as the FIRST program. (which explains my fondness for FIRST)

I also learned the value of hard work and committment form a chamber choir class that performed on an international/professional level. Don't believe me? Go check out


www.mainstreetsingers.com

The website will tell you all about it. I am listed with the alumni for 1989 and 1990 (Amber Hannay). The committment level required is so intense that the kids at Los Altos High School were referring to it as "The Cult" a few years back.

I learned not to judge people or things at first glance, loyalty, integrety, and how to travel as lightly as possible through foreign countries.
Oh yeah, I also learned how to sing. Which is handy, since I am going to be a voice coach at the College of Eastern Utah next fall. (It was so weird. I walked in thinking I was going to audition for a scholarship to put myself through school, and I walked out a teacher. Too weird.)

Chemistry I H.
I hated the teacher (she didn't oh, what's the word? Teach). At the end of the year we were just getting to what I learned in 8th Grade physical science, and the class wasn't particularly fun, either. The reason it changed my life, another student named Omar. Ah, Evangelion was the pandora's box to enlightenment.

John, you beat me to it!

The class that changed my life the most (for the better) was Eva.
I mean, Chemistry. It showed me that I am Shinji, and how to fix it.


The worst class ever was my eighth grade science class. "Remember, energy is a verb." Need I say more?

Harrison has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Computer Engineering.

It was in that class and that teacher that I first heard of FIRST couple years back.

Heh. I'm amazed by all these HS classes I've never heard of Engineering courses? Computer courses? CAD? Wha? We have none of these. No course of mine has really been life-changing. Yeah...*apathetic cheering*...go northeast...graduating class of 68 people...

It really helped me build self confidence. It also gives you a sence or purpose.

Sophomore's Accelerated English.

The teacher was one of the coolest people I have ever known. A real hardass of a teacher, but our senses of humor meshed perfectly. I learned more, in his class, than in any other English class I have ever taken, and am very grateful to him.

My 8th grade English class changed my life.

After that class, I became fascinated by literature. I still am.
