Today at Techie Youth I learn the importance of patience. When I had this job last year, I was just breezing through the videos and not taking anything in. This time around I'm actually invested in the information hoping that it will further my learning. For instance, I'm taking notes this time around. I took notes on the topic the following before and that's wats really going, to sum up what I learned today at Techie Youth.
Boosting morality in a company

The power of speech:
- Being aware of who surround yourself with
