What was your favorite subject in school?

The only class that stands out in my memory is high school Spanish. I’ve talked about this in other contexts here, but I believe it is because the teacher was such a standout individual. Mr. McGregor was passionate, intense– which wasn’t always fun– and he sincerely cared about us and that we worked to get better. He did not suffer apathy very well, but he also had a way of keeping things light, making it… fun. Spanish was one of the rare As on my report card, and it was because Mr. M taught it well, and I understood the process.
