I was in New Orleans for work and after my shift, I would go to the hotel room and work on homework and so or I would work on the plane. The classroom can be anywhere and you can learn from anywhere. My favorite classes were taught by Patricia Hicks. She was an amazing instructor and I learned so much and like and everything she taught I was just like, this is amazing. Like, I would like I haven’t been so passionate about an instructor before where I’m just like at home being, like this is like she knows her stuff. The Organizational Leadership program I would say has been, one of the best decisions in my life. This is my second crack at education. Um, I went to UW-Oshkosh and didn’t do so hot there and I went to UWGB, and the instructors within the program they you know you really get a sense of care.
