STUDENTS’ QUOTES
                                            quot;I did like SL, and I feel
                                            that it is a good way to
                                            present to different
 quot;I personally loved doing                  people and around
 SL. I think that if I was                  the world.quot;
 given the opportunity I
 would choose it every
 time.”


                             “I loved the flying (once I got used
                             to it), being able to make yourself
                             look the way you want to, and
                             being able to travel to different
                             locations. This can open (and has)
                             so many opportunities to engage
                             yourself in a way that is rewarding
                             for you and the listener.”
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
