Oh, the places you’ll go! My future plans are…

Nothing’s set in stone, but I’m planning on going to UIUC to major in Biology.

I would love to give a big thank you to…

Honestly, every teacher was a learning experience. So thank you, whether the class was my favorite or not, whether the teacher and I got along or not, whether I got a new interest from it or something new to avoid, everything worked out in the end. Thank you for all 4 years!

Words of Wisdom…

Remember to set goals for yourself but not get dismayed when you don’t meet them or drift away from them. These four years act like a bridge, taking you from being a child to an adult. You need a balance between taking things easy and taking on responsibilities. Don’t overload yourself with three AP classes and 2 sports and push yourself to the max. You’re a kid. You’re allowed to take time off and relax. Take the right steps for a content future for yourself, and prioritize your health, mentally and physically. I know it’s easy said, trust me, I know life gets hard. Enjoy your time as a teenager and good luck 🙂

What I’ll remember most about senior year…

It was an odd year for sure, but memorable nonetheless. We really got time for ourselves this past year. In my experience, I had the ability to pursue new interests. It wasn’t all fun. It was lonely, monotonous and annoying too, but it allowed for self growth and the ability to express yourself on your terms. I’d call that a 73% win.
