"Last year... Was pretty difficult"

By Caleb E. from Academy of the Redwoods in California

When asked when he felt most alone: “Probably like last year during online learning it was pretty difficult for me to do pretty much anything”

When asked about the most important lesson he's learned : “So last year my mindset was that I’d rather not try something and end up embarrassing myself rather than try and end up failing, this year I’ve realized this just doesn’t work and I’ve been doing better in like school, it’s just hard to put yourself out there, ya know?”
