Wawi: My biggest difficulty I have overcome in my job is maybe the idea that I had to run a job uh I was a college professor and also at the same time a was a lawyer and a as a judge you know so it was too much for me so that was the most difficult thing for me but the most difficult thing that I liked is to dealing with people you know I have It in my heart to help people so I enjoy that very much the interacting with everyone.
