Although all diminish the teaching in Sicily, I can give this a high score both in terms of professionalism and in humanitarian terms. I am satisfied with my overall experience of studying law and I think I can bring high values of justice that reside in me. I have loved both the defeats and the victories of my experience. Every university exam is a life exam.
