“My favorite high school memory was when Washington Fellows organized the Pi Day fundraiser my junior year.

Favorite memory: “Solorio’s Washington Fellows hosted a dodgeball tournament this year and it was the most fun I had in the school. I was surrounded by my friends and we went to support our other friends and I remember I couldn’t stop laughing the whole time. It’s unusual to say of a simple dodgeball tournament in the school gym, but it felt like time had stopped and nothing else mattered in that moment- no worries about school, homework, college duties, or anything really. It was just a bunch of teenagers having fun. It was undeniably the peak of my high school experience.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
