WHAT IS IT LIKE GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL IN THE MIDDLE OF A GLOBAL PANDEMIC: It is an experience unlike any other I have had before. It involves a lot of adjustment, since I am unable to participate in activities I had previously expected to, such as playing baseball and participating in one last mock trial tournament. However, one positive thing is that I can spend more time with my family.

WHAT DID YOU LEARN ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOUR CLASSMATES THIS SEMESTER: I learned that my class is able to cooperate with each other and persevere through even the toughest situations. I also realized that we miss being at school more than we thought we would.

WHAT IS A MEMORY OF YOUR SENIOR YOU’LL NEVER FORGET: I will never forget performing my final high school play, Clue, over a Zoom meeting.

WHAT WILL YOU MISS MOST ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL: I will miss the people most of all – friends, teachers, coaches and, also play directors – who made high school an incredible experience.

WHAT’S IN YOUR MUSIC PLAYER: Rap. Some of my goto’s are Tory Lanez and Juice Wrld.

BEST PART ABOUT GRADUATING: I get to start on a new journey in my life. I am excited for what is to come next!

WHO OR WHAT INSPIRES YOU: My grandmother.
