Nadia, I love your topic and
I agree with you. Holding
what you believe, your
valuable book is the most
important thing. Keep
holding the precious book
and following it.
Hello Andrea, Wow it is a beautiful
story. I really liked and also you
made me smile at the end when you
mention about the finger that you use
her ring. Also, it is a precious
memory as same as you I have a
bracelet that my grandmother gave to
me before she pass away.

Marta, you are on the right track to reach your
goal. Keep going girl!
Marta,
Our biggest problem for college
students is about the time and
especially when you support
family. It’s not easy, but Marta,
I’m sure you keep moving forward
to meet your dreams.
