Savannah Lee is a 17-year-old student at Montgomery College. She graduated from Chevy Chase High School as a junior. “Adjusting to the college life has not been easy but so far it’s been great,” says Lee. It’s been difficult to make friends, but she’s managed to join clubs in order to find friendships.

College is a whole different experience from high school. There is so much more freedom and responsibility. One experience Lee describes is when she asked to go to the restroom and the professor said, “Yes, but you don’t have to ask.” Lee felt so excited because something as little as not needing to ask for permission gave her so much freedom.
