I feel so proud of him and how hard he has worked! Especially during the pandemic, I saw how hard he struggled to adapt to doing school online. Seeing him having accomplished this is truly to motivating for me as I'll be starting high school soon. What was high school like for you guys?

Congrats to your brother!

I can't imagine that experience of suddenly going remote at that age. If I wore hats, they would be off to him for this accomplishment in those circumstances.

High school for me was...ok. I'm glad that my parents strongly encouraged me to join the marching band. I'm autistic, so I was bullied a fair bit, and the music program gave me a place to take my mind off of that.

I'm not a musician by ANY stretch of the word, but it helped later on as I participated in drum circles at festivals & such.
