“What comes to mind [about Community] is just that it’s different from the other big high schools. It’s more student focused, I would say, from what I’ve seen. There’s a better connection with your teachers, a better connection with forum and in my opinion it’s better all the way around, but that’s pretty biased. I feel like I’ve just learned how to fit in in new places. When I came to Community there were only four or five people from my middle school that were here. Trying to adapt to the much bigger environment while knowing anyone was a challenge. I feel just like the kind of more freedom to be yourself but also like to just, you know, [do your own thing]. You can leave class when you’re done. There’s a lot more trust given to you. I’m excited to figure out what I’m doing in the future. I don’t really know where I’m going yet. So I’m just excited to see where that leads. I think one of the best memories was my first tech week, which was for “She Kills Monsters.” I didn’t really realize how different theater in-person would be since I joined CET during the Zoom year, and I finally understood why people would spend that much time working on a show.”
