Last time, unfortunately, I was not able to complete the class due to some personal problems, but with the problems far behind me I was able to achieve beyond my expectations due to the help of Professor Lewis and my class mates. I thank them all for helping and pushing me pass what i believed I could have ever done. The class, as always, was fun and every week there was always something new and exciting to learn. Thank You all! ]
