“Wisdom Begins With Wonder” Socrates.

Blogs, wait a second… “I’ve […] Continue reading

As a first year student I often find it hard to see myself as a teacher. Transitioning from semester one into semester two and swapping (but not forgetting) the theory for a more hands on approach has begun to have a positive impact in overcoming this hurdle.
