Humans of SLA@B: Jack Kleiner interviews Andre Thomas

 If I could snap my fingers and make one thing better it would be, like, all of the judging that goes on. I really don't think you can judge someone, because of, like a lot of times, you'll just, like, generalize something and, like, you'll believe it's true. But it's not the worst of it, like, when one person does it, it's that, like,  one person does it, like when they do it, like it carries on, like someone will pick that up and use it as a weapon [unclear]. So now you've just caused this chain of hate.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? 20 years?

In 10 years I will hope to have a college degree in computer science and engineering. I want to, I have a lot of, like, games and apps and technology, like devices I've been working on designing and stuff. But more importantly, like, as a person I want to see myself, like, mature and, like, become wiser over the years, like I want to be able to, like, make something not of, not only of myself but of the world around me [unclear]. ... In 20 years, I actually do not know. I would hope that I have a job that's paying well. I'm not, like, too big on having owning something, but, like, as far as, like, I want to have that creative freedom to do whatever I do on my work, so, yeah.

How do you describe yourself as a person?

As person, I would describe myself as very confused. Because I often, like, doubt every little thing. So I'll be like, like high, and then I'll be like, "Wait I shouldn't have said that - should I have said that?. Wait, no I'll just go with it." I try to like prevail a message, but I feel like the way I say things, like, just never come out the way I mean it to come out so I end up failing a lot of people doing that.
