Who do you greet when you see someone from your big school outside?
I’m used to a small school where I’ve known everyone since elementary, so I’m not sure if I’m supposed to say hi to classmates I don’t recognize. Recently, I ran into someone from school at a random bus stop, and they were just staring at me the whole time. Should I have said hi? I’m trying to make friends but want to avoid coming off as weird. Any advice?
Does anyone have information on summer programs or camps for 12th graders? I’m a 12th-grade exchange student seeking opportunities in medicine or science near Houston.

If you feel comfortable, you can even introduce yourself or mention where you usually sit in class. It might feel a bit weird at first, but most people are open to making new friends too! Just be yourself and focus on finding common interests. Good luck!
