“The memory that immediately came to me was art class at the end of last year. We had soap that somebody made for their science class, and we shaped it into a little face and threw it against the side of the building by the art room. And it’s still there. Even a year later, which is kind of surprising. I thought it would have melted in like a week. But, it’s just like a chunk of soap stuck to the wall. I wish I didn’t miss a huge chunk of high school with the whole online thing. That’s a whole year and a bit of just doing nothing in my room. I feel like my high school experience would have been more full without that. If it had been regular here, I would have gotten to know more people. I definitely don’t think I had the high school experience that I was told I was going to have, not just with how the pandemic interrupted school. I don’t know, just things worked out differently than they would be in high school. I do think it is kinda sad. Some things that I was told were gonna happen in high school did not end up happening, I’m kind of glad they didn’t happen. It’s a mix — partially disappointing, partially relieved.”
