 About Me: 

Hey everyone! My name is Prashanth, and first off—congrats on getting accepted into the Academy! That’s a big deal, and you should be proud of yourself. I know how challenging it can be. For me, freshman year felt pretty daunting, especially since I was separated from a lot of my childhood friends. But over time, I found my place here, settled into a really supportive community, and learned how to manage everything that comes with a school like this. Figuring out time management was huge for me. I started making schedules and setting routines that helped me stay on top of things (most of the time at least). If you ever have any questions—whether it’s about classes, teachers, social stuff, or anything else—you can always reach out to me. I’ve been through it and I’m happy to help however I can.

A few things about me: I’m a huge soccer fan (go Arsenal!), and I’ve always been really fascinated by how the brain works. I genuinely believe that one day we’ll be able to integrate the brain into computers. Also, I’m a big Mavs fan... even though we just lost Luka (still hurts).

Looking forward to meeting you all soon—don’t be afraid to say hi!
