Testimonials
I really loved your class. It was very fun. I loved how I can express my feelings when I’m writing poetry.
I feel like it helped me be more open and more confident with my work and myself. At first my idea was just to go because why not, but now I am so happy I did. It was an opportunity I didn’t wanna miss. I shocked myself because I talked to people I have never seen in my life. I got up in front of a group of people by myself because I actually wanted to, and I learned more about myself that I never knew. I hope I never forget this day.
