I liked your article. I even felt that she was about me. For a long time I considered myself a slow learner because some homework seemed difficult for me, but here a decision quickly came, I started asking for help with written assignments to the service https://www.bestessay.com/coursework/ and my insecurity disappeared because I got rid of the tasks that I did not like. In other subjects, my success was great.
