Letter to the Prospective Philosophy Student

Dear Prospective Philosophy Student,

Take this class. Chances are, you will never read this. Theoretically it wouldn't matter because you have already programmed, but still, take this class. Mr. McCarthy's philosophy class is by far the best class that I have ever taken. To me, it was the perfect mix of a cool fun atmosphere with a serious workload.

I admit that I wasn't the best student all the time in this class, but I still feel that I took a lot from this class. Mr. McCarthy is one of the coolest teachers that you will ever have and the conversations that you will have in the classroom will influence the way you think about a lot of things for a long time. My year and high school career at Whitney Young is coming to a bittersweet end, but I can honestly say that this philosophy class has been a steady bright spot in my senior year.

I am going to fall short of my required word count in this blog entry because I feel that I have told you everything that I need to. I can not make the decision for you to take this class, but I can say that you will not be disappointed if you make the choice to do so. It will be an experience that you won't soon forget.

Sincerely,

Sam Thompson
