When I first started this class not only
were my doors and windows shut, but they
were reinforced with three-foot steel
barriers. I didnt like the class and didnt
think it applied to me. After a couple of
weeks I decided to give it a chance.
I definitely benefitted from taking the risk.
There are so many things
I learned from this material.
