“Online learning gave me the space to heal, grow, and breathe. It removed me from a toxic environment and gave me back control—not just over my education, but over my well-being. I was no longer confined by rigid schedules. I could learn at my own pace, in a setting where I felt safe, supported, and seen. I was able to be present with loved ones, take care of myself, and still succeed. Education was no longer one-size-fits-all."
