Ms. Czerwinski is a high school and junior high English teacher, as well as the Drama Club Director, Red and Black newspaper advisor, Class of 2025 sponsor, and Yearbook co-sponsor at Dryden Junior/Senior High School. Ms. Czerwinski has a Bachelor of Science in Education degree from Central Michigan University and a Master of Arts in Teaching Reading and Language Arts from Oakland University.
Ms. Czerwinski’s favorite thing about Dryden is how Dryden’s size is its strength. She elaborated by stating how Dryden is so small that it is easy to know all of the students and their families very well, but big enough that Dryden can allow students to advance based on content mastery and the Early College Program which offers students the ability to take college classes and earn college credits while in high school. Ms. Czerwinski’s words of motivation are to work hard and be nice to people.
Saginaw Valley State University
by Adeline Tresnak
On Friday, September 30th, speaker Amber Hadley from Saginaw Valley State University came in to inform our senior seminar class about what the college has to offer. She told us about her personal experiences with SVSU, including how she attended classes, the different clubs she was in, and her experience with the dorms. She also mentioned the different programs, activities, and extracurriculars offered.
I really enjoyed listening to Amber talk about SVSU. By including her personal experiences and stories from SVSU, she made it sound really fun, and a lot less stressful than college would usually sound. I feel like a lot of times, many people, including myself, think of college as if it’s just going to be a ton of homework and challenging classes throughout your entire college career. Amber made me think differently. Listening to her speak about how you don’t have to make your college experience that stressful, boring mess made me open my eyes and realize that college is really what you make it. Instead of only attending and doing the classwork, throw in some extracurriculars or activities, get involved in what’s happening on campus, attend sports games, and just have fun.
Another thing Amber mentioned was that she strongly suggests everyone lives on campus for at least one year. I’ve personally been leaning towards commuting to whichever college I choose to go to lower the cost, but after thinking about it, our speaker made some really good points that have been making me consider living on campus. Overall, I really appreciated the way Amber spoke about college, giving our class a more relaxed and fun view of what college will be like.
