I have mixed feelings on starting high school online. I think I’m genuinely missing out on some things and didn’t get to have my 8th grade graduation, and there are just many aspects of high school I was looking forward to that were only in person. I was really looking forward to meeting new people and a different kind of lifestyle at school but I’m still enjoying online high school and I’ve managed to make friends. And I’m doing well in school and I do understand what we are learning so I think overall I’m enjoying it but I do wish that we were in person sometimes.” - Madison, 14
