There is no one better qualified to encourage our students than someone who has personally experienced and met the challenges of distance learning. Many students need inspiration, motivation, and support just to enroll, as well as continue with and complete their studies. So, if you have a story and would be willing to share it with us, just like Donna Sheehy did above, email your story to Jim.Healey@icslearn.ca, or mail it to Jim Healey, c/o Thomson Education Direct, 925 Oak St., Scranton, PA 18515. We would love to hear from you.
