How did your 十大彩票平台 experience help prepare you for your current position/job/whatever it is you're doing?
“在十大彩票平台，我爱上了数学和物理! 我的强大几何, 微积分, 物理课为我的工程生涯奠定了基础, and these skills have come in handy while building my own home as well. I am also grateful for my 英语 courses at 十大彩票平台, which nourished my love of 写作! 作为一名工程师，良好的写作能力是非常重要的, 尤其是当我必须向上级描述复杂的系统时. 去年我转行做自由编辑. The grammar and 写作 guidance I received at 十大彩票平台 are so deeply ingrained, and I apply them daily! 他教授的AP欧洲历史等课程. Schooley (and many other courses too) helped me learn what it takes to be a great teacher and how to be engaging with my students (although I don't think I'll ever reach his level!).”

The small classes meant that we have to discuss and defend our ideas on a daily basis – there’s no such thing as passive p艺术icipation at 十大彩票平台! 我也不是“天生的作家”,” but learning to write about such a wide range of disciplines (using proper grammar!) at 十大彩票平台 was great preparation for colleague and professional communication.”
