An Unlikely Hero
Tong Lu
When Dr. Gullickson was assigning project mates for his introduction to experimental psychology class, I secretly hoped he would pair me with a cute coed or at least a classmate I could have some fun with. Above all, I hoped he wouldn’t assign me to work with the intense, fiercely competitive, singularly serious fellow who always wore dark clothes and apparently had a personality to match. As fate would have it, Dr. Gullickson very deliberately matched everyone in class and announced that I would be working with the one person in class I wanted to avoid.
I went up to my new lab mate and introduced myself. He looked at me as though I weren’t there. I felt he treated me as though I would hold him back and probably cause his gradepoint average to take a nosedive1. He wasn’t outright mean or abusive2. He just gave me the impression he could do whatever project we dreamed up better if he did it alone. He was a loner, and I could only impede3 his research. He had important things to do, and I was going to be something of an annoyance he’d have to deal with.
