I Can Do it All (in theory)

Sara Lundberg - April 16, 2013

Today I am supposed to talk about the most interesting research I’ve ever done for a story. One of my favorite things to do in life is to learn. I’d be a student forever if I never had to take tests (or pay tuition). I love to read to absorb knowledge and learn. This tendency has […]
