Thesis: As overwhelming as senior year was, the lessons that were learned, the obstacles that I overcame and the new doors that had been opened, have all shaped me into the person I am today.

Major aspects of the essay: Talk about Briggs, her role in preparing me for college. Talk about the leadership learned from student council. The comparison of college and high school, juggling multiple things at once. Learning brand new material on zoom

Minor aspects of the essay: Scholarships received at graduation. Moving 97 miles away from home. Getting recognition by the director of special education at my summer job as an outstanding employee. Super small class (42) so we were all so close.
