Getting out of the 2020-2021 school year alive is what I am most proud of. To think that I wanted to escape the world, only to come back and work and fight for the will to keep going, is amazing to me. I overcame something that almost consumed me, and no amount of Honors and AP classes I could pass will ever come close to that."
