He came to talk about slums and his how his life took him to live in some of the shadiest places in the world. He explained a little about how the economy worked in those places, but the lesson I learned most of all was to follow our dreams.

Daniel HerbrugerHe came to tell us a bit about his life. About how he left the university on his last year in order to be a self-didact. He told us how he went on a bicycling trip around the United States and is now working at Acton Academy. He taught me that a great part of self learning is documenting (that is how he got his job).

Kyle PassarelliKyle is our math/programming professor (I like to think that most of all he is teaching us logic). We have class with him twice a week. His classes are different from any other math classes I have taken before. Instead of giving us the formula or the solution, he encourages us to think and to come up with our own solutions.
He is a programmer. |
