""PLATO helped me in alot of way [first] to begin with by [helping me] to recover[...] credits that I needed to graduate. It also helped me [to learn more] of the lessons in class from U.S. History II. I really like the program because it helps you and it's fast. Also, the teachers in it are really helpful.
