As the school year comes to an end, if you look back to your August self, what are things you learned this year?

Freshman: Catherine Torres

“Looking back at my August self, I learned how important time management is. Having so much free time while being at home, it’s so easy to get distracted. Especially being my freshman year it took a while for me to adapt to the workload!”

Sophomore: Regina Correa

“As I look back to my August self I realize I’ve learned a lot of things. Primarily I’ve learned that things take time, and patience is key. At the start of the school year I found myself getting easily stressed when I didn’t know certain things, but I soon learned how I had to give them time because in the end I wasn’t the only one struggling and I knew everything would eventually workout. I’ve also learned the importance of having trust not just in myself but in others. Not knowing how the new school year would be I had to trust that I would find a way to make it work, but also that my teachers and classmates would help work things out together.”

Junior: Loretta Quintana

“Back to my August self, I’ve learned to do things at the moment. Every time I have a chance to do something, I do it at the moment, since life is short, and you never know when something can happen to you,especially in these circumstances. School wise, I have learned that not everything is just having fun, but to give the best in everything, especially now that I am home, I shall do my best for me and my future in order to be prepared.”

Senior: Larissa Pando

“This year I learned that I should never take anything for granted. I am thankful for everything I am able to do because one day anything can come to an end.”
