My high school experience was definitely filled with a full schedule of sports, volunteering, and leadership 7 days a week. Although things were limited during Covid, I utilized the time to gain skills, and do activities I may not have done otherwise. Activities included hiking, graphic design, photography, exercising at home, cooking healthy foods, volunteering at food distribution centers, and I became a better beach volleyball player. I also never took each day of my senior year for granted as activities gradually returned to "normal." I will now always try to see opportunities instead of misfortunes and I look forward to my years at CU.
