Lauren quietly sat in the back of the classroom, not engaging with students around her and never offering to raise her hand to respond in class. She felt so inadequate in the responses she thought of, or her answers were already shared by the time she worked up the confidence to raise her hand.

She was certainly at disadvantage on the average, but with the advent of immediacy in our culture she was distinctly but unintentionally left out.
