Did you enjoy the activity? Why?
Yes, it was fun. I like watching videos and he was interesting and energetic to watch. When i had enough i could pause it and comeback to it later this workshops suits the way i learn. He was informative and went in detail.
As I was not old enough to register for my own account my mother did this on my behalf. I was the one who took the course and watched the videos but the certificate came in my mother's name because that was who's the account was registered to. I was the one who found and selected the course, my mother was the one who paid for it in her name.
