"My College Experience"

Charles McCall

• College/University: Saint Louis University
• Why did you attend this school: to study under a particular person available to undergraduates
• Degree/Major: English, Theology
• Minor: Latin, Psychology
• Graduate Schools/Degrees: University of Chicago, M.A., M.Div
• Extracurricular Activities: Fenced as an undergraduate, teaching assistant in graduate school
• Favorite college memories: fellow classmates, discussions, exposure to well known professors
• Favorite class/professor and why: Father Walter Ong-- a genius but genial and sacrificial
• What do you know now that you wish you had known then: how much more I value money now than then, though I don't know if I would have changed my mind. I was offered a job on a Wall Street firm but had "grander" thoughts than wealth management. Now...wealth seems much more valuable
• Best piece of advice for our current SDHS seniors: follow your dreams and remember that your "good" is always the enemy of your "best." 
  
  

Lisa Dunn

• College/University: Bryan (UT at Knoxville for teacher certification, U of South Florida for PLTW IED certification, U of South Carolina for PLTW AED certification)
• Why did you attend this school: Convenience
• Degree/Major: Business
• Minor: None
• Graduate Schools/Degrees: Grand Canyon U/None...yet
• Extracurricular Activities: None
• Favorite college memories: Learning what I wanted to learn and sharpening my skills
• Favorite class/professor and why: There was a professor who taught us common sense love for our students
• What do you know now that you wish you had known then: School can be fabulous!
• Best piece of advice for our current SDHS seniors: Get dual enrollment and AP credits instead of graduating early. You can earn a lot more in scholarship money with grades than you can earn working a minimum wage job for a few months, and you get more time in high school with the teachers than you will in college.
