Customer Reviews
I enjoyed this book!!
As any graduate student who experienced any type of impact during the pandemic we can all agree we all needed this book. It gave us the motivation and guidance to continue our future as we still struggle to align ourselves today. I am grateful that I got to read amazing views from some important people who we look up to today. They took the time to understand the efforts us students pushed through during the pandemic and I’m glad we are here to show them we’re the next generation to make it happen . I can say this gave me a different perspective to look at life, and to effortlessly strive no matter how hard something hits you.
