Q: What do you enjoy the most about the change from traditional schooling to online assignments?
A: I enjoy getting to work at my own pace, not having to get up at a certain time and I’m able to spend quality time with my family before heading off to college.

Q: If you had one message to send to your classmates right now, what would it be?
