Counting down the days
Senior Jenny Belarma says she is ready to graduate
May 24, 2022
Q: Do you feel like you are ready to graduate?
A: Mentally no, I feel like I’m still a freshman because we missed two years of our whole four years due to Covid.
Q: Do you think high school was what you first thought it would be?
A: No, I expected more because like I said, Covid kind of took some stuff out of our experience.
Q: How does it feel to be almost done with your senior year?
A: Omg relieved. I feel so happy to get out of this place.
Q: What are you looking forward to most after you graduate?
A: Definitely summer, spending summer with Samantha and my friends.
Q: Looking back, what was the most memorable experience in all your years in high school?
A: Probably freshman year. I really had fun with the people, especially Spanish class – and this year, probably calculus.
Q: What do you hope will stay the same as you continue on in life?
A: Me being independent and also keeping good friends by my side.
Q: What is one piece of advice you wish someone would have given you when you were a freshman?
A: Get out of your comfort zone because you need to experience new things in high school if you’re staying in one spot it’s not going to get you anywhere.
Q: What has been the most difficult thing you have had to do/deal with?
A: Probably learning that not everyone wants to be my friend, you know sometimes you have to be alone to be successful.
Q: Is there anything you wish you would have done differently?
A: Yes, cut off a lot of people early on then later on.
Q: What’s your college plan?
A: I’m going to IUS for nursing.
