Final Thoughts
Today gave me a lot of clarity. When I look at Media Valley School, I see more than just a place to learn how to earn US dollars; I see a place that teaches value. Even though my progress feels a bit slow, I am staying optimistic.
I would rather be a slow learner who is consistent than someone who starts fast and quits. I feel like my "soul's dress" is becoming more refined through this process. I am thankful for the exposure and the community, and I am ready to keep moving forward, one small step at a time.
