Appreciation

I've been on campus long enough to realize who the good and not so good professors are. Dr.Pearce Gonzalez "Dr.PG" without a doubt is one of the best professors I have had so far. We are currently studying Mayan culture/civilazation, but even before that he really pressed for a positive class collaboration and just overall understanding of each individuals generational family history. We spent a good 3 class periods watching and presenting each of our presentations dealing with our family backgrounds, religions, traditions and just overall interests. And at least for me, I dread the idea of presenting infront of people! But of course I presented and it felt pretty good! And as I observed the other presentations, some of us discovered we had a lot more in common then what we gave each other credit for. I thought I was the only person who had a parent in the military, I soon realize that 2 other people in the class did as well.

I think just the fact that, he is always positive,welcoming and just willing to go out of his way to open up opportunities for each and every student that is interested is very rare. 

Ultimately I'm just really thankful for Dr.PG
