...or Counseling. I have elected to pursue a helping profession because I truly enjoy helping people, which is ultimately why I enjoy tutoring.

What does matter is how you choose to respond to challenges and what you do to overcome them.

...about and learn more of the world, but it's the best system we've got. Yet even still, it isn't perfect.
