More About Me: Learning have been my passion since my childhood. A friend told me I never stop asking questions. I am a very curious person by nature-how would I be able to live without questions and seeking their answers?Now, I have learned enough to get the highest degree and have started teaching other curious minds at East Tennessee State University since Fall 2016.
