The Importance Of Children And Education

I really enjoyed this class this semester. At first I thought I would have to end up dropping the class. I figured it would be too much for me to keep up this semester. Something told me to stick it out and that it would get better, so I stayed. I am glad I stayed because I learned a lot.
