I used to think Summer School was punishment. Even in college, I hated using my summer to take classes. Now, not only do I take classes during the summer, but I look for ways to learn every day. I sometimes feel like I’m behind and there is so much that I could be doing so […]
I didn’t need to catch up…. I just wanted to get ahead.
