The Year I Wish Could Be Forgotten
August 28, 2019, my first day of my senior year of high school. Everything that year
would be perfect. I had an amazing group of friends, a parking spot, a free period at the end of
the day to leave early, and an easy schedule. This was the year that I was going to make New
Balance Track and Field Nationals for hammer throw. I knew where I wanted to go to college
and my essay and application were already sent in. I could not wait for homecoming, prom,
graduation, and senior trips. I had all the important stuff done so I could make the most out of
my senior year. This was going to be the best year of my life, and there was nothing that could
stop it.
-------September 5, 2019. My right wrist, my dominant side, had been bothering me a little
from an injury I acquired in June, so I decided to go get it checked out. I figured it couldn’t be
too bad, as I was throwing and lifting all summer with what I convinced myself was minimal
pain. It was probably just tendonitis or something like that. By stepping in the doctor’s office
that was the start of a downward spiral. They told me I needed to get another x-ray. I didn’t
think much of it at first because I got x-rays in June and there was no break, but I was a little
nervous as the doctor was so adamant on getting more x-rays.
After I got the x-rays, I swore it took an eternity for the doctor to come back into the
room. My dad and I were sitting there trying to be optimistic, but with each passing moment,
our hopes began to fade away, as we knew what our fate would be.
�When the doctor came back in, he had a grim look on his face. He told me the bone was
broken and had been since I first injured it in June. I could barely believe it, but when he pulled
up the x-rays there was no denying it. There was a hole right in the middle of the bone. We
scheduled surgery and went on our way. I guess having a broken wrist isn’t the worst that could
happen. All it meant was that I needed a cast for a few months and surgery. I would be ready to
compete by my spring track season, and that I had much more to look forward to!
--October 4, 2019, the day of my surgery. I honestly wasn’t even that nervous. I just knew
that having surgery would make me better in the long term, even though there was quite a bit of
suffering in the short term. I was more upset about how I had to miss the Homecoming dance, as
it was the first of the many senior traditions to come. But that was okay! I still had Prom in the
spring!
--December 21, 2019, the first day of my indoor track and field season. Although I still
couldn’t throw on my dominant hand, I decided I would switch to my non-dominant to still have
a fun senior season. I quickly realized that there was no way to have a fun season with the head
coach I had. The coach would tell me I wasn’t throwing far enough, and that I needed to be
better. He was never happy for me when I hit a new personal record. Instead he just said that it
needed to go further. Although he caused many tears, I just knew I needed to wait until outdoor
when I could really show him that I could throw.
---
�January 1, 2020. I spent the New Year celebrating with my friends and could not wait for
what was to come. I was graduating in the spring and was heading to Springfield College in the
fall. Nothing could go wrong!
--February 4, 2020, four months after my surgery. I went into my doctor’s office that day
optimistic, but I left feeling crushed. I found out that my wrist would never heal and it would
always cause me pain. It wasn’t that bad because my doctor told me I could still do everything,
but just know that pain might come with it. I left the appointment trying to be positive, excited
to start throwing hammer in the upcoming outdoor season.
--March 12, 2020. Coronavirus was a new term, and people were starting to freak out
about it. NCAA had just cancelled all their winter tournaments. But that wasn’t a big deal, there
was no way this was going to affect my small town.
--March 13, 2020. Of course, it was Friday the Thirteenth. But there was nothing that
could go wrong. That’s just a silly superstition.
We were sitting in the first period when the announcement came on the loudspeaker. We
were going to have two weeks off school due to the Coronavirus. Everyone was a little nervous,
but we didn’t think that much of it. Plus other schools around us were shutting down for 2 weeks
�too. It was just two weeks of vacation and then we would be back up and running to finish out
our senior year.
--Friday, March 20, 2020 the day my school announced they were going to start doing
online learning. This wasn’t that big of a deal because it was only temporary, and this whole
quarantine thing was already starting to get boring anyway.
--May 5, 2020. We had not been to school in person in almost two months. I had not seen
any of my friends in a long time, and all hope was starting to be lost. We had already missed our
senior trip, and we were not very hopeful about prom and graduation in the coming weeks. Our
last shred of hope was lost when Governor Lamont made the announcement that we would not
be going back to school for the remainder of that year. That meant no prom, no graduation, no
chance to see friends, and no track and field nationals. I don’t think I had ever cried so much in
one day.
--June 12, 2020. Our school decided to make the best out of the situation. We were given
a graduation car parade and car ceremony. It wasn’t normal by any means, but it was as close to
closure as we could get, and it felt nice to get some recognition, even if we were the quarantined
class of 2020.
---
�Now, as I sit in my dorm room at Springfield College on October 22, 2020, I still have
many unknowns in my future. Coronavirus is still greatly impacting my life. Not only did I miss
so much, but I now have to wear a mask to do everything, even if it is just to go brush my teeth.
Most of my classes are online, making social interaction difficult, but I am still glad that I am
here. Right now, we have at least 11 cases on campus, with that number increasing greatly in the
past week. The uprise in cases has shut down athletics and quarantined many students.
Everyday they keep telling us something new for when sports can start again. As much as I am
trying to stay hopeful, I feel like my last year is repeating itself all over again.

Unmasking My Truth
This pandemic has been an experience like no other. It sent the world into panic and forced people to
adjust in ways that we have never seen before. Adults were forced to work from home, and many lost
their jobs, while students were sent home from school for what would end up being the duration of the
school year. I was one of those many students that was set to graduate in 2020 and make their summer
going into college the best yet. Unfortunately, my senior year was cut short, graduation was celebrated
through the passenger seat of a car, my summer was spent wearing a mask, and somehow this new way
of living through a pandemic became somewhat normal. However, what students like me had to endure
this year is unheard of and the complete opposite of normal. No prom, no celebrating, no gatherings, no
way to live as freely as we did in the past. Throughout this series of photographs it will become very
clear of exactly how unusual life has been from the point I left high school in March to when I arrived to
college in August.
�Decision Day
Decision day for most seniors occurs on May 1st. It’s usually a day for
students to announce what they want to do after high school, and most
importantly, it happens in school. Nothing was normal about my situation
though. I decided that I would continue my education at Springfield in my
house surrounded by my immediate family. It was strange to not be with
my classmates in our college sweatshirts, and celebrating our futures but
this was what Covid-19 had done to me and every senior in
Massachusetts.
�Graduation
Graduation was unique in every sense of the
word. My high school set up a “drive up”
ceremony for my classmates and I. Teachers
and staff sat along the driving route to
encourage us through the windows of our cars.
As students, we could only wave and look at
the people that supported us from a distance.
All sitting 6 feet apart, it was difficult to really
see what the world had come to. I drove up to
the stage at the end of the route, got out of my
car, received my diploma from my principal
and went home. In a matter of 20 seconds, I
had graduated high school in a way I never
thought was possible.
�A Summer full of “Hanging Out”
Summer was supposed to be fun, exciting, and full of
memories with friends. This image is a display of how my
friends and I spent time together during the quarantine
phase of Covid-19. In order to stay socially distanced, we met
up at our old elementary school and stayed in our cars in
order to communicate with each other. It was strange and
challenging at first so we had to improvise the best we could
even though it seemed like we were all trapped. However, it
taught us all a valuable lesson about how important it is to
appreciate life without policies like social distancing and
wearing masks.
�A Quiet Vacation
During this pandemic, a vacation was crucial to
relieve built up stress from everything going on
with school and life in general. It was
questionable if a vacation was even an option
because of the travel guidelines that Covid
required us to follow. This picture was taken in
York, Maine of what is usually a jam packed
boardwalk on a beach. I was fortunate enough to
go but many people weren’t and this is shown
here. There is nobody around me, and there are
very few people in the distance. The lack of
people changed the normal vacation experience
but it still made it just as memorable.
�College: A New Beginning
Arriving on campus was an unforgettable experience.
My mom and I took the hour and a half drive from my
hometown to campus, and had no idea what to expect.
We got here and the first thing I had to do was get
tested for coronavirus. After my test I moved into my
dorm and took a quick walk around campus. It felt
empty and quiet, and nothing close to what I imagined
my first day on campus to be like. I remember walking
by the James Naismith statue and seeing the mask on
his face, I was amazed that this was going to be the
reality of life for the foreseeable future.
