Mr.Garretson

Prior to my sophomore year, history never really interested me until I met Mr.Garretson.
Mr.Garretson changed my outlook on history completely.
History use to just be read, take notes and memorize the material, however Mr.Garretson changed all of that.
Mr.Garretson had us experience history rather than just sitting and taking notes.
We would do different sorts of activities such as write journal entries, from the point of view of a person in the time period we were studying.
This not only allowed us to engage our knowledge about the topic but also put in our own creative side to the story.
We would also role play famous historical events making skits that we would do in front of the class.
Mr.Garretson made me want to come to class, he made the class enjoyable and memorable.
Everyday I'd anticipate for the next, curiosity building up inside of me.
But most importantly Mr.Garretson had a major impact on my life, he inspired me to do more with my life and go on to do bigger and better than ever before.
We all have someone who has changed our lives drastically.
Never the less, don't ever be afraid of standing out among the crowd because you never know whose life you could change.
