I’ve been reflecting a lot today on my first year at Williams. I’ve said it again and again but, what a wild ride huh? There was a Record article looking back at all of the major events that the senior class went through, starting with Trump’s inauguration and ending with a global pandemic. Class of 2020 went through a lot too but to start off college with a pandemic? Next level.
In the moment, it seemed like it was all me handling all the challenges that the world shoved onto me. But when I thought about it, I couldn’t have done it with everyone else. The professors who adapted their curriculum for remote learning and were understanding of late submissions, the dining staff who would deliver meals to dorms, custodians who continued to take care of the buildings, friends and family who supported me in every way possible. Covid-19 may have brought out the worst in humans (saving lives as a partisan issue?), but it also brought out the best 🥰 Although the negative dominates the news and our minds, I think it’s healthy and important to remember the positives as well 🙂
