It is nothing like the classroom where you will have a teacher standing in front of the class teaching. I enjoyed every moment I had with my colleagues. I was nervous‚ but give me the courage and confident that I could do it. Our team was easily prepared and were ready to work. We were paired up for our assignment as a team‚ and it helps us to
