“When I Was Your Age…”

Teachers share their favorite college memories

“For my funniest college memory, it was on my graduation day for my master’s degree, when the college wrote “university” wrong on the graduation handouts. They put “university” with the “v” and the “i” flipped. So it was ‘unviersity’.” – Mrs. Driver

“My freshman year at the University of Guam I didn’t live on campus. I had a roommate and we just had a blast living in our little apartment off campus.” – Ms. Wood

“I got to hear Ceasar Chavez speak in college. We were packed into a lecture hall at school with 800 people and it was so crowded I had to sit on the floor. I was so young but I knew that it was such an important moment and now being a history teacher decades later and you know still teaching about him to my students, I realize what an honor and privilege it was to sit in his presence. This man that gave everything… gave his life for other people.”- Ms. Varela

“My favorite part about college was graduating.” – Mr. Peterman
