Once upon a beautiful, summer morning in 2009, Nicholas Clark was standing outside of his empty, college chemistry class room waiting for it to begin. He felt uneasy about this day because he wasn't sure if he was ready to take on such a complicated subject until something more complicated happened; Noteljah interrupted his stream of thoughts with a polite and abrupt "hello", as she walked on by and opened the door to the empty classroom, finding her place at the very front. An ambivalence consumed him as he was put off by her bold choice to walk into the classroom uninvited only then to sit at the front of the classroom yet entirely disarmed by the polite curtness of her "hello". That day marked the start of a really beautiful, interesting and fulfilling life journey between these two human beings.
