Roger has been coming to GOLD workshops for several months. He shows up early. He asks great questions. He helps the people sitting next to him when they get stuck. He's exactly the kind of community member who makes our classrooms feel like home.
When we asked him recently what kept him coming back, he didn't talk about features or topics or curriculum. He said this:
I leave class feeling smarter each time. Priceless!

“I leave class feeling smarter each time. Priceless!”
That's the whole mission, summed up in eight words. We couldn't say it better if we tried.
It is so nice to be able to ask questions to a 'real' person!

I never thought something like this could be for me. Now I'm writing for the world.

I haven't felt this way about myself in over 20 years.
