When Raj arrived and Kat climbed into the car, Raj noticed she was carrying a stack of envelopes, each envelope as big as a large sheet of paper.
"What's that you're carrying?" asked Raj.
"These are cards for all my teachers in high school," Kat explained. "I wanted to thank each and every one of them before my graduation ceremony tomorrow."
"Why not just send them e-mails?" asked Raj.
"I wanted to make them something they couldn't delete. Besides, I made these cards myself with unique three a dimensional patterns that expand as the card opens. Your job is to drive to each of my teacher's houses."
"You could have just mailed them," Raj remarked.
"I've been really busy lately. I've been working a part-time job at a law office in addition to going to school ever since my mom died last August. I never had a dad in my life, so the last few months have been really lonely."
"What about your friends?"
"I haven't had time for any friends lately. I don't think it would have been possible for me to make any anyway. It's like I live in a different world from all of them. Maybe I can meet some new people when I start at CalTech in the fall."
Raj got an idea. "I know someone from CalTech who is a neurobiologist. Her name is Amy. Would you like to meet her when I finish driving you to all your teacher's houses?"
"That'd be great!" Kat exclaimed. "I've been thinking about majoring in a medical field. Maybe she can give me some advice."
When Kat arrived at Sheldon and Amy's apartment, Kat and Amy really hit it off. Amy asked Sheldon to devise a test for Kat to select a possible major for her. When Kat took the test, it recommended she major in radiology. Amy suggested, "Maybe you could design a scanner that could allow us to see a brain in action with a resolution of 10 microns."
Amy and Sheldon let Kat spend the night, and then they both accompanied her to her high school graduation ceremony (stopping by her house to pick up her cap and gown first). Afterwards, they celebrated by eating at a local restaurant and seeing the IMAX film The Human Body at the California Science Center.
When Raj talked with Amy about how things went on Sunday, Raj felt happier than he had in a long time. His life now had a greater sense of purpose. Maybe people were like jigsaw puzzle pieces and his role in life was to bring them together. By introducing Kat to Amy, he had probably guided Kat to a more meaningful and important role than he would ever have.
In the months that followed, Kat began classes at CalTech. She decided on a dual major of radiology and electrical engineering. Her goal was to design a portable brain scanner with the same high quality imagery as a stationary MRI or PET scanner.
Raj now had a better idea of what he wanted to do with his life. He wanted to put people in the right place at the right time like he had done with Kat. When he saved up enough money by being an Uber driver, he would go back to school and become a human resources professional. By then, he would have spent enough time talking with his passengers that he would be able to talk with anyone on the face of the planet. Instead of attracting people to him, he would attract them to whatever company he was working for.
The End.
