We can never be certain of the answer but we can have hope that we will learn and we will grow, we will come out of the other side stronger, she told her 59 classmates, friends and family gathered on the high school s field on a hot Saturday afternoon. The last day for the seniors at the school felt a lot like that fateful March 13, 2020, she said, the day that our lives changed forever. The day that we no longer were living in normal systems but were instead stuck in this purgatory wondering what s next? Right now we are at a crossroads, we are at an intersection in our lives, and we are in the driver s seat this time, Stone said. Now we re not stuck inside, stuck with our families. This time we have the power to change for the better. Not change because we have to, because we have to stay alive. But because we want to. We can because we are young adults in control of our lives.
