    You’re smart and dedicated and a beautiful person 🙏💐❤️ God Bless! After falling into a diabetic coma and exposure to COVID-19 in June 2020 I almost died but am alive due to dedicated doctors, nurses, police, paramedics and physical and occupational therapists! I was in ICU for 2 weeks on a ventilator! I had to relearn how to walk and get back on my feet. You rock!

      @@sheanthesheep8816 hey! It's been challenging but the info you learn is very useful. I am glad I have professors who work with you to make sure you succeed. Who care more about if you pass the course as a whole, rather than if you get a 90 on an exam. If you wanna get more insights into what you may learn look up "pta practical exams" on CZcams to get an idea. Hope this helps!
