Reading Memoir In a recent survey by Statics Brain Research Institute, fifty-seven percent of books started aren’t read to completion.

The big problem is I didn’t have enough words to write, and my huge mistake is that I always thought in my own language, then tried to translate to English, which was the slowest way to learn

The following week, I received an email to thank me for applying and to inform me that all the positions had been filled. While I was

“Ok, Ashley, it’s your turn.” I halted for a brief moment at my desk before numbly walking to the podium at the front of the class. I silently prayed for my zipper to be up and for my teeth to be food-free. My palms were sweating and there was a softball wedged in my chest; I had been dreading this.
