"You are what your experiences teach you."
I am grateful that our modules led me here today in your excellent short talk, if ever in my life I became successful— I will visit New Zealand or wherever you are to pay a visit, a check-up, and a greet. I will look forward on your dream as a psychologist, because in this video— I already learned a lot, much more if meeting you in person.
