Did you have a favorite cartoon growing up? Favorite hobby growing up?

I have many favorite cartoons growing up. The one that sticks out the most is Ed Edd n Eddy. As for hobbies, I wanted to be an illustrator since I loved to draw. As I got older, that shifted toward creative writing.

Cereal is neither. It is cereal.

Working with different skill levels and learning new ways to assist others with their academic ventures. I feel that I have grown not just as a student but a person as well.

Always listen and learn from different tutors. Find what works and what doesn’t. No two tutees are the same.

Look for a job. Finished my third book. Get published. Get my license.
