Good- whatever time you’re seeing this. I’ve been talking about the course so much I didn’t even tell you about myself.         As said before my name is Leandra, I’m 17 years old and I live in America. C urrently, I'm enrolled in the Cambridge program at my school. I’ve been in it since 9th grade and now I’m a senior, yay! This has been a rough 3/4 years, it’s been late nights, failed tests, misunderstanding assignments, rigorous study hours, but it was all worth it for the teachers that helped me through it, and the Cambridge tests being passed.
