I graduated from Roanoke Valley Early College in 2022. One of my longtime goals is receiving my MSW in social work, a short term goal I have is to learn financial stability. I think this course will help with understanding the fundamentals of history and will help me receive my associate’s degree. I like to go out with my friends to restaurants and gossip like we’re on a reality tv show!😂
