”

I always tell my students to chase their dreams, work hard and never give up. What kind of example would I set for them if I were to give up on myself in the middle of the program? I was motivated because I want to be someone that they can be proud of, and that they can look up to.

I believe everyone should experience online learning at some point in their career because it does shape learning habits and skill sets in a different way that a traditional learning environment doesn’t.
