Sophomore: Switching to the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA for short) as a sophomore during the pandemic has definitely been a wild ride for me, to say the least. One thing's for sure, though: IMSA has definitely been doing a great job of making sure that the vast majority of sophomores, such as myself, are having as smooth a transition into IMSA as possible. There have been tons of activities for students to get involved and be a part of IMSA's "virtual campus." In September, IMSA had a virtual opportunity fair, where new students like me (sophomores) could discover the variety of clubs, organizations, and school-wide programs they could become a part of. Personally speaking here, I can tell you that as even as a first-year student at IMSA, you will ALWAYS be on that IMSA grind, all the time. The workload can get pretty heavy, teachers can sometimes cause frustration, and without a doubt, it can cause quite a bit of stress. But it's all just a part of IMSA's learning experience.
