When I was a child, twiddling my thumbs during a long road trip, I would grab a pen and paper and attempt to draw. I could imagine the details I wanted to create, but the drawing never came out the way I would picture it. So, I would play with numbers, because I could create the value....

...adults. I felt as if they were all my children. I also tutored five students for the ACT. I always want others to do well academically; hence, I created a set academic structure depending on a number of months they have left before their exam and through my personal experience.
