I was real­ly ner­vous com­ing into the course think­ing it would be bor­ing, but it was­n’t at all. I also am very shy but felt com­fort­able asking/​answering ques­tions. I loved how inter­ac­tive the course was. Hav­ing the book to fol­low along real­ly helped me focus. Thank you for everything!”
