Favorite subject in school:
English was one of my favorites when I found out I had a love of creative writing. Of course, I loved my art classes which allowed us all to create wonderful things and learn new techniques. Another subject I had, and have, a fondness for is mathematics. I just really enjoy getting into complex problems and solving them.
