| Message to Students and/or Parents: |
I had excellent profesors during my studies which did their best to teach us how to think openly, to get rid of rigid thinking and to have the courage and the skills for objective, critical readings. I find myself now in a continuous process of learning, but I judge myself ready to share my knowledge and able to advise. I am never ashamed to say "I don't know" and I always check twice the information I deliver, so to make it absolutely reliable. |
