Pat Nabong/Sun-Times Sophia Bigg thrived in remote classes the past year, where she found it easy to stay organized, didn’t mind the time alone and was able to stay focused on her work. But she couldn’t turn down the opportunity to see her teachers again, so Bigg, 17, chose to return to in-person classes for the last few weeks of her junior year at Senn High School in Edgewater. “One of my favorite parts of school is engaging with my teachers, and I like being able to walk around the school because I think it’s really beautiful,” she said.
