I was home in China due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it was four days before my high school graduation on Zoom. I breathed a sigh of relief as the sense of certainty settled in: I was finally going to have a normal college experience.

Of the dozens of campus tours I’ve given for the Kite and Key Society, each one has been different. I’d switch out old stories for new ones or change how I’d present information to prospective students and their families. The start of my tours, however, always remained the same:
