What engaged or excited you most about learning when YOU were a student?

My passion for learning was consistently ignited when I was challenged, my interest touched, my curiosity sparked, and actively adapting to new problems and situations. Most of my most memorable learning experiences actively involved small groups, friendly competition, projects, and public performances. Designing learning experiences for others, formal debates on social issues, crafting a legislative proposal, building a project budget, and engaging in Junior Oral Exams stand out in my high school and college years.
