For Pioneer High School (PHS) senior Abby Kohn, music has always been an unavoidable, crucial part of her life. Before she began playing the French horn, Kohn would interact with music by singing and though...

When I was younger, my mom had me learn piano. I took it for three years before deciding that I wanted to quit. I recently decided to pick it back up again, and this is a photo of my sisters helping me with a song.

This pretty much sums up everything right now. Everything is all over the place but I still have a big smile under my mask. Online school is good, my family and friends are great, sports are going on, and the sun was out today! Although life always throws lots of challenges at us, as long as we try and smile through most of it, we will find ourselves enjoying life.

Trigger warning: this story contains descriptions of eating disorders. Growing up, Sophia Svinicki thought she knew what a musician looked like. Musicians were skinny, muscular, confident. They knew...

I'm always looking at the window, so I thought it would be interesting to see what the window sees. I decided to crochet in the picture because it's something I've been doing a lot lately. I decided not to clean my desk because I liked the natural, candid vibe.

Taking in the essence of Autumn would be my title for this photo. Autumn is my favorite season and I do my best to spend as much time as I can outside to take in the colors and cool weather before winter comes around. Also, the greenery looks so special during autumn and it almost feels as if the world has changed colors, which is another reason I enjoy the season so much.

Every summer, Grace Wang and her family would drive down to Maryland: eight hours spent watching trees flit by off of the side of the highway, music flowing through her ears. Wang’s dad was always in...

The words that usually spill from someone's mouth when they first meet me relates to my height. It has always been my introduction. I used to hate it, it seemed useless and unordinary. But I have learned to love it. Here I am pictured from inside a doll house. Just a friendly giant wanting to look in:)

This photo is a picture of me and my friend. I have a tendency to want to hide behind my friends. I always feel like they deserve more because they are more confident. I feel more comfortable taking the picture than being in the picture. In this photo, I am looking directly at the camera, seeing myself as the one that deserves to be in the picture.

A self-portrait of my bedroom workspace. Since getting a new laptop, I've kept my old one around so I can search on another screen, or to take over if my newer laptop has any issues connecting to the home wi-fi, which is awful as of late. I find it cramped and uncomfortable, but it is often my only portal to the outside world.

Delaney Sperlbaum never spent time in her room before self-isolation. Her mom had taught her from a young age that it was not good for the brain’s development.
