Dear Professor...

Dear Professor,

This course has been the best course I've taken in college so far. I now have an overview of science, art and innovation.
And in the world of structured outcome-based education, curiosity has been gradually replaced by school-enforced "discipline" or "if I don't do this (s)..." or "Is this on the exam...?"(s). Your course blew me away.

Now that I am heading back into the system I came out of for 4 weeks, I realize now what innovation, freedom of expression and life really meant and just why they are important. I figure that there is only one meaning of life and that is to live. I also found the meaning to I have the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice. I either choose, or someone else will. If I don't make my idea work, someone else will make it work for their profit.

I think I'm going to miss this class, but then I also know that it's up to me how I want to live now.

Thank you for getting me to realize so much in so little time. I hope you continue to be passionately curious and creative. We live in interesting times.

Eugene.
