Testimonials from Graduates: Keith Ross
Keith
Ross is a pilot who flies
for MC Aviation out of Santa Monica, California. He graduated in 2005 from
Embry Riddle Aeronautical University with a major in aeronautical
science and a minor in meteorology. Susan Dermond, director of the
Portland, Oregon Living Wisdom School and
Keith's fifth-grade teacher, interviewed him.
Susan: What
do you remember best about your experience in an Education for Life
school?
Keith: Fun!
It was all fun. Of course, like any kid, I liked the field trips best.
And all the personal interactions—the friendships with teachers and
students.
Susan: You
came to Living Wisdom School from a public
school, right?
Keith: Yes,
in fourth grade. I attended until I graduated from eighth-grade.
Susan: What
do you think were the advantages of going there?
Keith: The
small class size. It meant we got lots of individual attention. I
remember the caring of the teachers and the encouragement to be who
you are.
Susan: Was
high school difficult after our schools?
Keith: No,
I graduated with a 4.0.
Susan: Did
you notice any difference between yourself and other kids you met in
high school or college that you attribute to our school?
Keith: Oh,
yeah. I feel I've really found myself—mentally, spiritually, and
career-wise. And I feel like I did it at a young age compared to most.
