A: “I didn’t really know what to expect, the transition wasn’t that bad. But I would say I never got lost in the Building. I think we’re still getting used to it still because it is different. It seems like you have to kind of stay in a bubble like in the classroom. The teachers don’t really let you sit where you want because of seating charts for COVID tracing. There’s not the there’s not as much freedom of moving around as there used to be.”
Q: Who helped you the most in getting through last year and why?

Q: If you could change one thing from your freshman self, what would it be?
A: “ Currently from eighth grade and freshman year there wasn’t a lot of character development, because I was stuck inside my room.I don’t really think there’s anything that changed because I was unable to go out and do anything so I didn’t really have a chance to develop.”
