“My favorite memory from Community is probably from my freshman year when we had our first Forum Day. We went kayaking at Argo Pond and that’s when I met Oliver, Biel and Santi. Being at a new school, I didn’t know anyone here at first. So making those new friendships was pretty important. I had also never had a field trip like that before. I think the freedom and doing something you wouldn’t do in middle school made that moment stand out. Next year, I will be at Washtenaw Community College, and then I will go to Michigan State to become a forester. I’m ready to leave high school and ready to be an adult. I’m tired of doing work that I don’t necessarily care about. I’m ready to study stuff that I want to study and just have more freedom.”

“I was always interested in the base level of computers and how they work. I’m part of the programming team [for Zebrobotics]. It’s good hands-on experience for programming. My friend would create his own card game that we’d play, and now I really just play online games with my friends. Cooperation games are great for connecting with people. My friend Oliver is going to Canada for college and that’d be a great way to connect with him. The thing I’ll miss most about CHS is the sense of community–the personal connections that you have with people. CHS is such a small school compared to every other high school that I’ve seen. I think the best Forum Day we did was the kayaking trip. I think it was where we just went down the Huron river starting in Argo Park. I think we should do it this year as well.”
