The Catalyst (TC): How have your first few weeks been different from your expectations?

SL: For the first day, I was really scared because it was like a ton of people but then now it’s fine. I like all my teachers, everyone here is really nice, and it’s just really calm, so it’s not as tense as I thought it would be.

TC: What is your favorite part?

SL: Definitely my friends I’ve met. They are super nice and understanding and supportive.

TC: What are your goals for freshman year?

SL: To open myself up a little more, and become more of a leader.
