Back when I was in high school, I skipped 9th grade and was automatically put into a program called STEAM. The program is composed of about 8 other high schools that come together at one agreed upon school. You would start the day at your original school then at around lunch time a bus would come and pick up the âSTEAM kidsâ, then transport us to that location where we would would for our teachers to show up. When I first got there, classes were then broken up into pathways based on what you chose. For me, my pathway was Computer Science where I was put in a class of 30 students from 8 different high schools. As an ice breaker, we had to introduce ourselves to our new classmates who were not from our original school. That is weâre I met my friend Keandre. From there, we had an instant connection mainly because our names sounded similar. Over time our bond grew and we later became best friends where we would call each other âtwinâ. We would listen to each other if one of us were going through something and would always just generally look out for each other. Anytime one of us would be hungry, for example, we would always buy each other food without asking for anything in return. We later graduated together and now go to the same college. However, with all the memories we shared together, I do not remember how or why I chose Keandre as my ice breaker partner. We instantly connected after the activity, but I have no recollection of how we began the process of the ice breaker. In the end, to this day we are still very close friends and wouldnât want it any other way.Â

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM. Iâll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the endâsince I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times donât work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means youâll have to schedule an appointment in advance. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
