I'm so glad that i'm able to watch videos like these when i don't understand. I do online school so it's more complicated in the way you can't stay after class or raise your hand when you don't get it. I always feel so dumb when I don't understand something but I've always been naturally smart and have gotten good grades in the past so being able to get a different perspective of teaching really helps.
