  • “I was terrified of this thing. And I was also embarrassed that someone was going to discover how stupid I was. Then this young lady came into my life. She is so patient, so kinds, and just goes after everything so slowly and at my pace. Now I’m actually looking for a job and I’m able to do it online”
