PHOENIX — Analy Cota's high school journey has brought its typical challenges from the classroom to learning more about her classmates.The Bioscience High School senior says she had a good start, but then the pandemic came along.
"That was kind of hard because I am a very social person and I thrive off seeing my friends and just talking to people,” added Cota.“Finding the motivation to actually wake up and open that computer at the end of the week, I wanted to throw it out of the window,” said Cota.“It was a hard year, but overall, I think I did a pretty good job surviving,” said Cota.
Cota is set to become a first-generation college student thanks to her family, teachers, and Lionila Gariepy's support. "We've talked about everything in her office. I have sat in her chair, like, that chair has my tears embedded in it,” added Cota."I think I remember how bubbly she was and how excited she was,” said Gariepy."She was like Mrs. Gariepy, what if I die and I haven't opened an acceptance letter yet? I was like, well, it won't matter. Ha. Ha. Ha. She's just a joy,” stated Gariepy."I was in disbelief. One after the other! I was on FaceTime with a friend.
"It just shows my resilience, my work in the classroom, and everything I am involved in kind of paid off,” added Cota.
