You have to create the session before redirect to the page so your code must be like this:

Session["me"] = TextBox1.Text;
    Response.Redirect("welcome.aspx");

Set session before redirecting to other page

Session["me"] = TextBox1.Text;
Response.Redirect("welcome.aspx");

You have to first set the session and then redirect to other page. so it should be like this:

Session["me"] = TextBox1.Text; // set the session
Response.Redirect("welcome.aspx"); // redirect to other page

Use

Session["me"] = TextBox1.Text;

and use it before redirecting to other page
