Even though senior spring didn't go as planned, we have so much to be thankful for. Our health and all the amazing opportunities that will come to us this fall as we begin our new lives.

Any final, parting words?
Nightingale not only taught me how to be a curious, engaged, and hardworking student, but it also showed what it means to be a part of such a close-knit and generous community. At Nightingale, both teachers and students go far beyond what is required of them. I know that if I was having a hard day that there was a line of people ready to support me in whatever way I may have needed. And it is that loyalty and love that has been at the center of my Nightingale experience.

Any final, parting words?
Nightingale taught me how to use my voice, a gift that will propel me through my life. The relationships and lessons I have gained shaped me into the woman I am today. I am forever grateful for my four years inside the blue doors.
