Photographs: Teaching Abstract Concepts in a Visual Way with Kim Moore

KSU ESOL ConferenceFebruary 4, 2016

My perception of my surroundings becomes my reality. Others perception of my reality…..

My perception of my surroundings becomes my reality. Others perception of my reality may determine my success or failure.

My perception of my surroundings becomes my reality. I will not allow others’ perception of me to determine my destiny.
