Who was your most influential teacher and why?
Dr. Richard. He really helped me improve my writing by teaching me how to enhance my analytical skills and theses. He also was such a great teacher and his lectures were never boring. He was my favorite Shipley teacher by far.
What was your favorite class and why?
My favorite classes were Honors U.S. History and Slavery and Resistance in the Atlantic World Honors. Both these classes were extremely interesting and my teacher, Dr. Richard, kept the classes engaging and fun even while going over deep topics.
What was your most memorable experience at Shipley?
My senior year Super Saturday. The girls’ soccer team played that afternoon, and we got so much support. It was such a great bonding moment for the team, and I had so much fun.
