In their own words:

“’New Year, New Me.’ For high schoolers, this mantra relates to the start of the school year, not January 1. We all had an idea of how we wanted this year to go. We would travel to DECA internationals or eat out lunch every day. We’d apply to our dream college or get all A’s. We had a plan, and we were sure it was going to go exactly as we thought.

“What we didn’t know was just how much we were going to change. Sometimes because of our own choices, and sometimes based on things we couldn’t control.”

“Then there was that moment that changed everything. We walked out of school on March 13 ready to grab our suitcases and travel to the Bahamas or Seaside. We didn’t take the time to say goodbye to all of our teachers or look back as we drove out of the parking lot. We thought we’d be back in 10 days, ready for two more months of eating Pizza Hut lunches, studying Quizlets and counting down the days until May 22.

“But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. We didn’t know what was going to happen when we walked through the office doors on August 13. We had no idea how our stories would unfold.”
