Depression is currently taking a toll on my life. This pandemic is stressing me out.
I liked learning ways on how I can support my peers, but I feel like I have to learn the strategies more.
When I was going through the tutorial and I answered a question wrong, I felt that the explanations to why it was wrong could be explained a little better.
