So, it's definitely something I'm interested in.” - Ellie Platt “You're learning to play the game. Who cares about A's and B's, but the fact that you're learning what it takes to get an A, that's a skill. That's something that you can use.” - Ellie Platt “The one thing I've learned is it's so easy to get off course by shiny objects or something that might be working for another agency.
