Robbie K. (Biola, 2013)
Robbie graduated from Biola University and then went on to teach English
 in inner-city Los Angeles: "Mr. Schwager....I thought of emailing you 
because your class had a large impact on me, and when I picture myself 
as a teacher I often go back to memories of being in your class. In 
fact, I still have my binder and materials from your class that I look 
through for inspiration." 
Heather M. (Westmont, 2012):
Mr. Schwager--I just wanted to thank you for preparing me so well in our
 reading of The Tempest. I was invited to an honors seminar class where 
we read one novel/drama per week. This week we read The Tempest, and I 
feel that your insights and nudgings last year were extremely 
beneficial. (I don't mean to boast but I was so well prepared that I 
actually caught our Professor in a few factual errors.) Anyone who 
doubts whether the books you read in high school will resurface is 
gravely mistaken.
Estelle R. (Santa Clara University, 2011):
Hi Mr. Schwager, I hope you are doing well. I just wanted to thank you 
and the MVC English department for your investment in students' lives 
and academic development— I feel the department does an outstanding job 
of preparing students for the demands of reading and writing in college.
Kaitlin K. (Cal. State, 2011):
Dear Mr. Schwager...I am taking fourteen units, but all my classes 
require a LOT of writing; so far, all my teachers are astounded and ask 
where I went to high school. I am also working at the Writing Center on 
campus. I am a tutor there and really enjoy moments where I can pass on 
little comments that strongly echo Monte Vista's classrooms. I really am
 enjoying my time there and love being able to make a difference in a 
student's writing.
