Learning is definitely not mere imitation, nor is it the ability to accumulate and regurgitate fixed knowledge. Learning is a constant process of discovery —a process without end. –Bruce Lee

I would not have had a better learning experience in any other class. You have taught me so much about leadership skills and resilience, and you gave me the chances to grow when I needed them. I have learned so much about tech and programming in your classes beyond any high school curriculum, and I had so much fun while doing it.
