Covid-19 hit right before I was supposed to graduate as a senior in high school. We all had to go to the school, pick up our belongings, and finish online. I had looked forward to graduation day for years, and I wanted my dad to come from Colorado so badly, but he could not. Due to covid, we were only able to go to the field, wait in line, walk across the stage, and leave. It was underwhelming, yet I was very grateful my school put it together in such a hard time.
