And one of the things that stuckout to me was – one of the guys said, “Unlike in high school where the guys who are almostflunking are getting a tutor, the A and B students out here are the people who are in the tutoringclasses all the time.” And it only took me about a week to figure that out. But from then on, Iwas in the help lab and stuff for math, and it worked…And [The African American Symposium]helped me out as far as networking, because …I met all these people that were in my field. Andeven now, I still talk to those guys, so it kind of helped me out…Kind of jump-started
