Surprisingly open and friendly
Welcome is genuine and heartfelt
All students are part of the learning experience
Real community learning
This is different to anything I have done before
Helping me overcome inhibitions
Making me think better of myself
Overcoming my reticence
Reviving my interest in life and the future
Experiencing it weekly is now a necessity.
