“My teachers’ style of educating is motivation for me to work hard at different subjects. Mr. Brown (teacher of English) is always mixing up different ways for us to learn, like audio tapes, movies, and note-taking. Candace (Mrs. Bruce-Andrews…) is always giving us interesting projects to work on to bring [the events] to life.”
