You may think these are descriptions of Ana, Lynn, and Leanna's educational journeys, but think twice! In celebration of the end of the school year (and a tough year and a half in a pandemic for the class of 2021), this week's episode features the stories of Amber Luc, graduating senior at Cleveland High School and Hillary Barrera, alumna of University of Nevada - Las Vegas. Listen as they share their stories of what it's like to be a new grad in the time of COVID-19.
Ana, Lynn, and Leanna start the episode reminiscing about their experiences before wondering how different it must be for this year's class. Tune in to Amber's and Hillary's mini-interviews about their goals, fears, and advice and you'll learn that this year's graduating class may not be so different after all. Congratulations to all graduates who have persisted through the pandemic!
