“I’m very self-motivated. I like to guide myself, so having the freedom to take the reins over how I’m learning and when I’m learning is really beneficial to me.” Frank Flores
“I was nervous about not connecting with students and instructors…but I’ve had a couple of online instructors I’ve built relationships with and peers who I met up with to study. I learned just as well online as I did in person.” Crystal Barnes
