Favorite class: Anatomy. It’s really interesting to learn about the human body, and it’s geared toward what I want to go into – something in the medical profession.

Top teacher: Beth Verdick, science. She just explains everything really well. She can always come up with a story to help you remember things, even it if’s just wild. And she’s always there if you need extra help.
