“One of my favorite Community things is spending lunch off campus. Me and my friends always go across to Kerrytown to eat. Just hanging out and being away from school is a very nice escape. I’m also gonna miss my teachers because it was very personal calling them by their first names and everything and I created some very valuable relationships. I’ll especially miss Beth, Janelle and Joslyn. I had Joslyn for a lot of the classes that I really enjoyed, and she’s a very nice, chill teacher. It was a very good experience doing the Jones School project with her. My advice for incoming Community students would be to be open to getting uncomfortable. Be willing to go out of your comfort zone and try new things and meet new people, because that’s what Community is all about. I originally wanted to go to the bigger schools just because that’s where all my friends from middle school were going, but I think if I had known all the stuff that I do now [about Community] I probably would have wanted to go here a lot more at the time, because I realized it was a place where you could still be independent, but at the same time have strong relationships with teachers. Since Community’s a smaller school, everyone is a lot closer and it feels more like a family. After high school, I’m excited to be more independent and be more of an adult. I’m looking forward to creating a new world for myself because three out of five of the colleges I applied to are out of state. If I do end up possibly going to one of those, I think it’ll be really interesting to meet completely new people and interact with a whole new environment.”
