Denver North High School ::\u00a0Denver, Colorado<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cColorado College can mold me into a more well-rounded person with a perspective on the world that I could not get anywhere else. My intellectual capacity will be challenged, I can explore the world, and I can grow into an adult ready for the world. I will be able to focus on one thing at a time, which my learning style needs, and I will be able to interact with my community.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Steven<\/a>Steven Ortega<\/h3>\n

Palmer High School :: Colorado Springs, Colorado<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cLast summer, I took the Brain and Society course at CC with Bob Jacobs and I learned to appreciate that focusing on one subject at a time, in depth, is how I am most comfortable learning. We spent every day in class focusing on one aspect of the brain\u2019s relationship to society and would discuss it in fascinating depth. The nature of the class and its small size allowed a stimulating flexibility, with time for contemplation and discussion that is often absent from academic settings.\u201d<\/p>\n
