- Ashley, incarcerated in Oklahoma
This computer science guide was not something I could breeze through. It was challenging, but I have a starting point now. I am eager to move forward. I want to thank Level for providing the information you do. These lessons have truly been key in giving us the tools to start a change in our behaviors and lives.

Level has left me with big plans for the future to get out and do something with life. This guide taught me a lot about computer science. The things I learned from this guide - I never knew. It's kind of tricky! Everybody should want to learn and have something for themselves in the future.
