Mr. Casterline has always been a patient, creative, humorous, and caring teacher. No matter how many questions I had after class, he would always try to help me, even if it was not his student hours. I didn’t only learn about writing skills and dive into the work of books, but also did enjoy a pleasurable process of studying with a little chat now and then.
