In this class we were faced with a lot of challenges but they weren't impossible. The goal to even receive a letter grade you wished to earn was to set a goal to yourself and create this mindset that you can do it. I distinctly remember walking into this class and Dr Preston gave a very good first impression of himself. I liked the way how he was just raw and himself which made me think to myself English for my junior year may not be so bad. I truly appreciate the choice he gave us of an open-source learning course or a regular high school english class. This made me wonder that there isn't only one boring, old, required way to an English course. As he stepped out of the classroom and we were discussing which path we should take for the semester I really was looking forward into the open source course because I wanted to try something new and it interested me way more than just the same old way. My old english classes were really just out...
