i've been binging this channel since yesterday! and what could i say except these videos are very heartwarming. Sometimes you can just say that someone is very passionate about their work and what they are doing. He is enjoying his work in every video and you can just see it.
I am enjoying it. :)
I started pretty late because of a slump and you are getting me back on track. Thank you so much.
You got this!
I can just tell you're such a funny easy going guy. thank you so much for this channel
I appreciate that!
Thank you for the video, I am writing my essay about my culture and my experience schooling in a different country, how do I connect this to what I want to study and implement the surprise effect?
That's up to you! One way to approach it: how different or similar is your culture from what you might want to study? Why/how does your culture influence what you choose to study in college?
Hope this helps!
Thank you this was helpful, your videos have been amazing especially during this college application season!’
Pleasure! Being the 180th like.
