What do you think is the biggest challenge to
student success?
It takes time to develop a certain set of skills
and our modern daily lives are filled with so much external noise, so
the challenge is largely internal, to keep the faith in
oneself. A student who can learn to be patient and
extremely focused will be successful.
What song would you sing at karaoke?
"Moon River." Definitely
"Moon River."
What is your favorite animated film?
The classic Disney films are close to my heart,
but my new favorite is The Red Turtle. The craftsmanship, art
and story are, well... *golf clap*.
