EDUCATION

"I rather be called a dreamer than an achiever.  Though most of the time one goes with the other, I learn to enjoy the charm of immesureable dreaming than the ornaments that momentarily hang on my neck or the ribbons that danggle on my chest. Here's a glance of what I have successfully reached so far."
