I communicate both online and offline. I prefer communicating offline, and being in the same room as my friends. My friends and I are good at meeting in real life, but in the evenings, or when the weather is terrible the online communication takes over.
When I get online or on social media, the communication changes at once. When I chat, a smile changes into “haha” and an irritated look on a face changes into an emoji.

The teachers name was Ms. Jules, and I learned quickly that she was a type of teacher that saw her students, and wanted all of them to succeed.
