Brief Biographical Sketch:
Hi there! My name is Christian, and I'm a sophomore in college. I was born in Ohio, but have grown up in Florida (near NASA). I major in biology, and plan to hopefully attend medical school after undergrad. I also have an interest in the immune system, as I spent last summer working in a lab studying Covid. Outside of the classroom, you can find me on the soccer field or with Camp Kesem, a non-for-profit organization. I've been involved with a lot of charitable organizations that focus specifically on academic outreach, like Kiwanis International Key Club, MathCounts, and other public tutoring avenues. I can't wait to talk some calculus with you all!

"What is a good life?" is a daunting question. While each of us needs to answer it, it is almost impossible to do so all at once. This course divides the question of the good life into smaller, but still very significant questions, like: Who do we answer to for the shape of our lives? What should we hope for? What is the role of suffering in a good life? This discussion-heavy lecture engages a number of ancient and contemporary voices from a variety of religious, philosophical, ideological, and cultural perspectives. During such a pivotal time in your life (high school), it is incredibly important to consider what it is that we're working towards, and why we're working towards it. By the end of this course, you'll be able to begin to approach each of life's big questions for yourself, synthesized into one important answer to The Question: What is worthy of being the center of your life?
