It was really a big difference for me once I moved. For once in my life we had computers in the classrooms. Never in my life have I seen a student use a computer for work. I only saw the teacher use one. A lot of our learning was on the computer, I was not completely lost but I was very behind. I was also behind on math, division and multiplication, it was never stressed in my old school. My reading level was lower than the other students. The way I looked, acted and spoke was different from the other students. I was truly an outcast. Since then, I worked extra hard to get on the same learning level as other students. This shaped my life because it showed me that not everyone gets the same opportunities in school, but you should take advantage of what is given to you and use it to the best of your ability.

    m I Most of the time I am a sleep deprived, over-caffeinated, occasionally temperamental, introverted extrovert. Allow me to explain. As I sit here typing away, pondering the little things about myself, I am fighting the urge to nap. The reason why I am so incredibly exhausted and insufficiently caught up on sleep is because I like to paint. I am an advanced procrastinator or in other words an AP student with a part-time job and so you see my schedule is busy enough as it is without added hobbies.…

Since then several different explanations and theories have been formed, some of which support each other and some which contradict each other.
