My transition to college was not an easy one for me. Even when I first attended MMC, I felt as though my connections with professors were limited due to being a transfer student. As a student passionate about learning, I was searching for a professor who would take an interest in not only my abilities but in my interests and growth. It wasn’t until I was in Professor Kollwitz's class that I found that connection with a professor.
From the first day I had Professor Kollwitz, the goals and intentions of her class were clear. There was never any confusion about what was expected of us. Professor Kollwitz’s class became a safe haven to experiment with our craft, without judgment but with encouragement and compassion. This environment made it possible for her students to discover new capabilities and grow not only as actors but also as people.
