“I think overall it’s just been a very busy four years and I haven’t really settled down much and just relaxed during that time, which I am thankful for because it puts me in that mindset for my future of being able to do that level of sitting down, working and just getting through it. It was always enjoyable. A mixture of different extracurriculars and especially journalism took up my time in school and lacrosse outside of it. It was always fun even while working through all of those different things and getting to be a bigger part of them over time. It wasn’t always what I wanted to do at the time, but I’m happy that I did it because I learned a lot. A door rarely closes at Community, but there is always one open. So enjoy that.”

“I perceived [this school] as a lot more different when I was a freshman, but I’ve come to realize that it’s not all that different from other high schools, the only major difference is with the open campus. A lot of my experiences within jazz have been very memorable, even recently when we have been playing at bands and reviews. Some more memorable experiences have been forum trips and the film trip to the Michigan Theater. I’m going to be going to college for jazz, and being in community jazz has obviously helped prepare me for that. Also, the open campus style of Community helps prepare you for college as well.”
