Testimonials

"My name is Amanda Sundberg. When I walked into your class about a year ago I had a small idea of what I wanted, and who was I and while I was confident and a very different person then I was the nine months before I still was trying to find myself and when I wrote the "Who am I" paper I put all of my heart and soul into what I wrote, and in result I got my first A that I have ever received on a paper and that reinstalled my love for writing.

My main purpose for writing to you is to tell you thank you for giving me the chance to learn more about myself than I would have ever learned on my own and to let you know I am continuing my education.  I plan on becoming a teacher in math and sciences; I also would like to teach Japanese at one point in my life so I slowly learning that language.  I am currently attending Peru State College and I enjoy it very much. I have made a more friends than I ever thought I could and I plan on starting a club."
