A High-School Freshman’s Perspective

It’s been my very first year in high school during a global pandemic—and oh what a year it has been! Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Nyla Stevenson, I’m fifteen years old and I live in Metro Atlanta. For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for fashion and storytelling. I would spend hours playing dress-up, drawing wedding dresses, and writing my own stories. Throughout the years, not much has changed; in fact, my list of interests has expanded even further to include volleyball, piano, singing, and much more. Although covid-19 tried to steal my joy, now that I’m back to school in person, things are starting to look up.
