I am so glad that Mr. Cronin invited me to today’s class. I learned a lot from Marta’s very generous personal story and her description of her work as a diplomat. It was inspiring. The icing on the cake for me was to meet the fantastic students in the class. I learned more from their questions and interactions with Marta. And, I added links to my network! 🙂
I enjoyed listening to Marta. She has a very inspiring and interesting story.
Marta was great, very smart lady. I hope she can come back.
That was a very fun and informative session. I learned so much!
