I've never been the type of person that loved school; most of my teachers would attest to that. I was not always interested in the specific information that I was studying in classes. But education is not just about the content you're learning but about the way you get to knowledge. That is what has stuck with me. Greenhouse taught me how to think, and think critically. This pays off huge in my work. I am always coming across new situations where there is no base of knowledge on what to do; but I know how to think now, so it makes those situations much easier. The pursuit of knowledge is difficult, but Greenhouse taught me how to pursue it.
