  2. I was willing to hire someone to take my online R-Studio Class last week because I was really occupied with my brothers wedding at Paris and I was unable to submit my tasks on time. I wish I could have seen this before. :)

  3. It's really challenging to pass a test sometimes. Once, during my test at Yale University, I was completely lost and running out of time, with my online class also needing attention. So, I contacted a website and asked them to do my online class for me, which turned out to be beneficial as it gave me time to prepare for the test.
