I will miss the relationships I built with my community and friends over the years because I have grown very close with the people here. During quarantine, I have enjoyed FaceTiming with friends and family. I think we should all do this to stay connected with loved ones!

I hope to be remembered as someone who was very determined and never gave up on things he wished to accomplish because that is a true value that I am happy to have.

I am excited to make new friends and meet new people in college. Also, I am excited to further my studies in my point of interest.

I am most proud of continuing to explore my passion for songwriting and music, and even deciding to pursue it! (Editor’s note: check out Jake Koffer and Chase Lotito’s album reviews from this year.)
