This is the first course i have taken in Towson, and I still can recall that I was introducing myself softly and nervously in the first class. But I have come so far. The instructor is Linda, whom I admire not only because she taught me with professional knowledge, but also inspired me with her innate charming character. To me--a girl who speak English as a second languae, she has offered absolute understanding and patiency. Now let's see what this course is exacty about.
