Erika and Samuel met while in high school in their schools drivers education program. She was the teachers assistant for the program and the lead teacher was looking for a student to replace her since she was graduating high school. The teacher recruited Samuel to become the new teachers assistant after Erika graduated. After finally getting her drivers license (literally waited until the last moment), Erika went back to the drivers education program at school to show the teacher her license and as fate would have it she met Samuel. They have been together ever since!
