Like many other students, favorite subjects change because of the teacher or course content. Believe that change is discovering how one can do well in a variety of subjects. Some classes that are more than an education were my favorites because they touched my spirit.
During high school and undergraduate, my favorite subjects that I did well in were English and psychology. Believe that not being accepted socially, writing was a release and psych taught me the reasons why I wasn’t accepted. Being a “free spirit” and an individualist, these classes were more than learning but also a safe haven.
Oddly enough for my graduate degree, anything math was my favorite subject. I liked it because the problems had only one correct answer that could be determined by logic. Straight forward and no sidelines. During these math classes, I felt connected with my grandfather who was an engineer at Ford Motor Company. So much so, I earned my Six Sigma Greenbelt certification from the University of Michigan, College of Engineering, Center of Professional Development. Truthfully, I was one of the eldest female students in the program at the time. Oddly enough, the class was fun. The professor also with some full time undergraduate engineering students did the stats during the University of Michigan football games.
My belief is that life is a learning experience no matter in the classroom or in the boardroom or in a manufacturing facility. The expansion of knowledge is never ending. Favorite classes and teachers touch our souls as well as our brains. Never stop learning.
