One time I felt anonymous was when I was very young and just transferred schools. I had moved closer to the beginning of the first grade and was completely unknown to any and everyone in that class; besides the two students who transferred into the school with me. I was never the type to make friends easy but, I was always into doing my work and sticking to my studies. I had known nobody and I didn’t feel like there was much wrong. During recess, I’d be the child playing by themselves. I had gotten good at being a loner and that quality in me always remained. Till this day, I prefer working alone, out of preference, not for any other reason. Moreover, I always felt as if I mattered, and I don’t think that’ll ever change. The lonely feeling never held me back from being the person I am today. Over time I met new friends and became better acquainted with the kids in my class. People would start to ask me for help in school and since then I’ve always been the person everybody comes to for help in math and science. Even though I never had the most social experience as a child, in my deepest hopes and dreams, I knew that in the future that’ll change, and I’m glad it did.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM. I’ll 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 end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
