Sit With Us
You're at your new school. It's lunch time, but you don't have anyone to sit with. You want to join someone at their table 1 you're not sure if they' re friendly. What do you do? Natalie's 2 of solving the problem was to create an app. She knows what it feels like to be alone at a new school. She found it difficult to make new friends and had to search for a new table at lunch every day. If she sat 3 , she felt lonely. But if she asked to join someone and was 4 , she felt embarrassed (尴尬的). She created a lunch—planning app to help students like her and find people to have hunch with.
The app called Sit With Us is 5 . If a student is having lunch in the afternoon, he or she can create an invitation. Other students can open the app and 6 that invitation. They can then use the app to decide when and where to meet. This allows students to make 7 online instead of face—to—face. This is the reason why it works so 8 : it lowers the risk of being refused, and the embarrassment that goes along with it.
Soon after she made her app available to the public, she won a prize for it. She was even asked to speak at a university. In her 9 , Natalie wanted people to know that you don't have to do something 10 to change lives. Sometimes, a simple thing like having a friend to enjoy lunch with can make all the difference.
