  • Learning a little bit of Python: if elif else.

  • I hate to be asked why I walk differently.

    I had Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) when I was a kid. It was a traumatic experience for me and my family, and I have a sequel where I cannot lift my right foot (Drop foot). Although I know it is natural that people feel curious or wonder why I walk the way I do, I still hate being…

  • The perks of being a nerdy wallflower.

    I doubt there will ever be a biography about me, but if there is, I think it would be in a sample of biographies of common people. I think I would almost make it out of the common section, as I am a Guillain-Barré survivor, but still, my life is pretty standard, and I think…
