I was born and raised in Vermont - precisely, in Westminster. Like many others in the area, I grew up on a small family farm up a dirt road. I was surrounded by educated people who took great pride in gaining knowledge.
I started my education early, but I officially started school when I was 6 years old. I began first grade at Westminster Center School in a traditional learning environment and felt bored and stifled. My parents, as believers in public schools, looked for and found a Utopia: Westminster West School, which fostered a love of learning.
I thrived.
This tiny school not only educated me, but it also shaped my destiny. I grew up believing that education is the answer to happiness; it promotes freedom, and it gives you choices.
