Yes Fatima, it is good to meet people and to simply ask questions. You never know what information they have that can help you or something you may know that will help them. Pay it forward!

Sounds very interesting! Your book makes me think about my freshman year in my dormitory, Morrison Hall.. My roomate and I used to joke about ” What happens in Room 101 stays in Room 101!” Great choice! I would definately market this book in a college book store – JB

I think that sealed the deal for you as far as what kind of teacher you wanted to be. I didnt know that you did an independent study in gourmet foods. Very cool!
