Congrats Jongsoo.
It is a very moving story - a story of determination.
The creator of this site is Paul Borghese. He is a very cool
instructor too ...of one of those boot camps:)
Am very surprised about your boot camp-less learning experience. I
believe boot camps should only be the finishing touches?
