Source Code: my beginnings

Up to that point I had floated through school thanks to teachers who saw potential under my mask of indifference. At Lakeside they seemed to see only the mask. I'm sure after that first year at my new school, my parents questioned whether they'd made the right decisión. I certainly did. But if l'd been paying attention to the final issue of the Lakeside newspaperthat spring, I would have noticed a two-paragraph story at the bottom of the second page. It said that starting in the fall, the math department was going to get connected to a Computer. "Hopefully some students will use it to work on extensive projects," the story mused.
