Week 2 - Personal History

“What were your favorite subjects in school? Why?”

MOM:
My favorite subject in school was English.  I loved writing stories and reading books.  That is why I probably became an English teacher.  I also liked taking journalism and helping to write the school paper.  That is probably why I also became the journalism teacher and advisor for the school newspapers.  That was one job that I really liked.  I also liked choir in high school.  I loved traveling around to different places to sing.  I was a 2nd alto.  That was fun! 
JACKIE:
My favorite subjects in school... was Art obviously.   I loved in Elementary the art teacher and going to her room to do crafts and ceramics.  In middle school, I liked art as well, but also enjoyed the cooking classes, and sewing.  In high school, my favorite was Art again, but we learned more about writing in calligraphy, and ceramics where I loved building projects by hand in clay.  So, Art followed into college where painting in oils was my favorite class, as well as a watercolor class were we got to meet in different locations to draw the buildings around Salt Lake.

STACY:
My favorite subject in school was math.  I liked it because it made sense to me.  There was a formula where you would always get the right answer.  The funny thing is that I never took any math in college.  I had done the highest math my senior year in high school, AP Calculus BC and scored a 4 out of 5.  That was good enough to test me out of any other math I was required to take in college.  I also loved my interior design class in high school with Mrs. H and yearbook with Mr. Alcorn.  In college, my favorite classes were the design ones that did color studies.  I also liked my business classes that were about negotiation and mediation.  I thought that was very interesting.
