Ms. Charlotte Lacombe-Bar
“It’s really interesting and there are a lot of possibilities to create anything. It posses a lot of challenges, but the end result is really nice,” Charlotte says as she describes her favorite subject, Computer Science. Charlotte Marie Lacombe-Bar was born in Le Chesnay, France and though she was “new” to the senior class this year, she jumped right in. Anyone could see her passion for Computers was strong and she started the school year determined to find a University that would cater to her unique interests. When asked to talk about a quote that inspires her, she does not hesitate before she responds, “fly the cage.” She then goes on to provide a very interesting analogy about how to deal with problems. “When you think you don’t have any options or feel trapped by a situation, just fly with the challenge” Charlotte says. The quote encourages her to think about the many ways to look at a problem, how to learn from the problem and how to use it to her advantage. “Don’t feel trapped, just take it with you!” That is how Ms. Lacombe-Bar has been handling all the twists and turns of high school. In some ways, she feels very ready and in some ways, she is quite concerned. Handing everything on her own, looking after herself, and cooking are some of Charlotte’s main concerns as she prepares for her move to the UK this fall. 
Still, the excitement of learning more about her passion with the hopes to go to graduate school and enjoy going to work everyday, helps to reassure Charlotte that she will be okay. Even though being away from her family, friends, and her several cats might be hard at first, she is really looking forward to the learning more about independence and doing some research on campus. Charlotte was admitted into the University of Greenwich and Kingston University, both in the UK. This fall, she will be enrolled as a freshman at the University of Teesside, studying Game Programming. Looking back, she smiles as she remembers the surprise dinner a few classmates put together for their favorite teacher and how all the students saved money and grounded themselves from shopping for months. She laughs as she remembers being part of the team who designed her former schools Library website, and how the group made many attempts to keep the meetings formal, though the eating and frequent jokes kept the atmosphere very informal, which created comfort and produced more creativity. 
“Enjoy what you learn” is the message Charlotte wants to leave for her peers. “Too many people try to just learn, but it’s more important to see the value of it. There are a lot of great and interesting things that people miss out on because they try to just rush and not really enjoy what they are learning,” Charlotte says. She confesses that it’s sometimes hard, but believes that it makes a difference when you try to really learn and take something away. May your passion for learning never cease, Charlotte, and we wish the very best as you work diligently to discover how far your passion can take you~
Congratulations
