If not for the amazing support I had from my teachers, I would not be here today. I am currently working on my Master's in Classics and I could not have chosen a better path. Because of my background, I understand the difficulties of learning and teaching, and there really is...

I have traveled to Peru and hope to travel more in the future. I strongly believe that anyone can learn anything, as long as enough time and effort are given.
