"I was taking honors classes and quickly developed good academic relationships with the professors who had chosen to teach these smaller, more interactive classes. It was a powerful incentive to be surrounded by people enjoying their classes rather than simply fulfilling requirements –- for me, This is about the education and not a few checks off the list of expectations of modern life."
