In addition, the high costs that I could not support, having lost my dad at 13 and having to help with household expenses, were prohibitive.
So I decided to remain a self learner and I went in against a big problem: which sources are reliable and which are not? Internet is immense and the risk of getting the wrong information is high ...
As I became aware of MIT OPENCOURSEWARE I was delighted to find an authoritative source where I could find a lot of information for free. It’s really a fantastic idea and I thank all the teachers who volunteered to share their knowledge.”
