Young said she has nothing but admiration for teachers trying to deliver an education in strange circumstances. She does her best to stay focused and not get distracted. She sets an alarm for everything. "I'm learning to have that kind of sense of independence and how to organize my life," she said. Young has noticed many others struggling and encourages fellow students to try to find a sense of purpose. She likes to keep busy in several different school clubs. She also has a message for parents struggling to help their kids with online learning.
