This past year has truly taught me not to take any opportunities in life for granted.  As a community we have shifted to greatly value simple experiences such as just hanging with friends and interacting with people in person. These experiences were previously considered normal, but in the given time we have grown to cherish these opportunities in a new light. Even with the adversities that this past year has presented, I feel that we can all take so many lessons from that and build off the positive experiences.

What I will miss most about Prairie Ridge is the sense of community that all of the teachers and my fellow students helped to promote. Whether it be in the classroom or walking through the hallways this sense of community was always present. Additionally, I will greatly miss my involvement in Prairie Ridge athletics as a 4-year member of both the basketball and soccer programs.

There is nothing better than putting on the PR uniform and going out to compete with such a great group of guys.
