A great deal of my high school experience was defined by letters and numbers on paper. I did my fair share of living, but it was undeniable that the experience I had was immensely different from those portrayed on television. While nothing seemed out of the ordinary for a long time, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and I began to learn and go to class of my own accord. Grades were replaced by pass/fail and suddenly learning, despite all my qualms regarding online school, became a bit more fun. Something I had a bit more control over. Of course, such a change lends itself to questioning the system that was previously in place.
