The respect for different views and ability to approach any issue from all angles were engrained in my personality during my time at 十大菠菜台子 (2000-2003). 对我来说, 十大菠菜台子’s version of liberal arts education is about having the ability to be flexible and strong enough to explain ones view while also be willing to have them changed if convinced otherwise.
