    I get to exam time and struggle for a bit before finding a leah4sci to explain the difficult concepts to me like I'm a human being instead of a robot. I have had such a hard time getting professors to explain things like I do not have a phd in chemistry. Like I understand you look at that thing and just know what is what, but I don't feel like I should have to go out of my way to get an explanation of which carbon is which during class. my goodness, thank you. If I ever get into medschool I'm sending you a card.

I came home to do my homework and was still so confused. But this video just calmed me down so much. Thank you for the amazing lesson. I never comment but I just really wanted to say thank you!
