My Phillipsburg Education

       My education was  great but in a different way then the general knowledge that I picked up in class. I grew up in Phillipsburg, NJ so I attended Phillipsburg High School. I have to say I had great teachers who I always was close to up to 8th grade. I had a great relationship with all the teachers especially staff like the librarians. I can't remember having to make any special format for reports back then. I can recall how much I loved to research in the library. To go through encyclopedias and magazines were always fun. The teachers encourages the students to do this. I learned a lot of reading and writing at home also so in school I learned about building relationships, socializing, and how  the basic functions on math. The education I received was a lot of learning and life experiences form conversations with my teachers. Mrs Gepes was one of my favorite teachers. She was my second grade teacher and she  would read the Boxcar Children. She would act out ever voice and part differently to keep our interest. I remember being so anxious the next day to hear the next part of the book since it was a series. In high school i skipped school a lot and got in trouble. That is where maybe I'm lacking in skills such as Algebra, research formats, and vocabulary. I wish I could go back.
