Like many students, Lewis struggled at first adjusting to remote learning. Melissa Colorado Origua, another senior, said remote learning was lonely.
Both Origua s parents and her sister still work outside their home, so when she wasn t also working, Origua spent most of her time alone. I would log in for class and be the only one with their video on, she said.
Marshall Lusk, another senior, had the opposite problem.
He had to grapple with learning in a noisy house. Sometimes Lusk s mother would shush him and his sister during her back-to-back Zoom meetings. Once, he went to the garage in search of a quiet space.
