QUOTES


“Everyone wants an A, so then what happened? We try to give everyone an A. I always tell my students there's two things happening in my class, getting an A, and learning. Two different things. Because you can get an A and not necessarily learn.” – Dr. Sabine Charles
“You have to do a good job and know what your skill set and see whether or not a certification can enhance that.” – Dr. Sabine Charles
“You have to know your life. I have clients who are single moms, and they study in their closet. They're hiding from their toddler, because they have to go study for their cert, or they study in their car. You got to figure out where you have your space so you could absorb the information.” – Dr. Sabine Charles
