Next Stop: College
December 6, 2020
Ready to move on to bigger things, Stephanie Diaz, 12, reflects on her school experiences, remembering the great memories that she has had along the way as she fills out college applications. “It just feels like the past 12 years just happened so fast that I didn’t even realize that it had passed until it was long gone,” Diaz stated. “So just getting to finally do this is very bittersweet because it means a new beginning and tons of change which can be a good and bad thing, but I think I’m ready to take that step without losing the moments of people that made the past 12 years enjoyable.”
