         From PWM control to I2C communication, I slowly worked up the layers of abstraction, eventually

+            As much as I had collborated in High Octavez, I would collaborate more in my studies. From

+            we would discuss upcoming assignments and tests. Before we learned the biological concept of 
+            mutualism, we were practicing it through 10 PM Discord calls. Midway thorugh ninth grade, I added

+            allowed. For obvious reasons, this did not sit well with my peers, and moderation quickly became

+            slurs, we were quickly overwhelmed. Every loophole was penetrated; every vulnerability was exploited.
+            At that exact moment, I began using my coding skills to our advantage, developing Discord bots to

+            of my class had joined the server. By hosting study sessions and posting valuable studying
