Chapter One

Roberto

Is there a fun fact about me that might impress a billionaire? This is what I wonder as I sit in the first lecture for Professor Dustin Thomas’s class. Which is actually my first college class, ever. At the beginning of the hour, he asked the class to go around and say your name and a little bit about yourself.
