I thought I would be able to compare this class to one of the Social…
If I were given the challenge to take on a project like we received in our group project. I would have to say I would be up for the challenge. The key to a successful project is the team that you have working with you. If you don’t have everyone clicking on all cylinders you won’t get anywhere with your project.

On the third day ashore, I made my first visit to Trajan’s Forum. The forum is two centuries old and was built by Emperor Trajan after their successful wars against the Dacians.
