B Dear Alfred,I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150 at 17, Im anything but stupid.

I feel whole.This is why youre saving my life.Yours,Tanis25.Why didt Tanis go to college after high school?A .She had learned enough about computer scienceB. She had more diffi
