I walked into my first dual enrollment class of my high school career and there sat 70 kids‚ which in college might seem like your everyday lecture class but in high school‚ it was a little intimidating. The teacher of our astronomy class introduced himself and spent the rest of the day cracking jokes and going over how the year was going to pan out. Little did he know he would turn out to be my favorite teacher. Dr. Albright‚ who now teaches classes at JMU has truly shaped the way that I think about
