Nov 04 2020 ''I like that Daniela always makes sure I understand what she is saying, and if not she explains it again in even more detail. I donΓ’β¬β’t feel bad about messing up or not Γ’β¬Εgetting itΓ’β¬Β because we always just laugh it off.

Mar 01 2014 ''He assesed areas [*] I was strong and spent less time on those activities and more on my areas of weakness.
