Honoring The Class Of 2021: Amelia Summers Of Benito Juarez

CHICAGO, IL — The high school seniors of 2021 have had an experience like no other in a century -- a year upended by a pandemic and by lockdowns that kept them from enjoying many of the activities that previous seniors have taken for granted.

Patch hopes to help make it up to those seniors by giving them a special sendoff. We asked parents and other family members pay tribute to this year’s grads using a special submission form so we can publish those tributes one by one.

Amelia Summers will graduate from Benito Juarez.

Plans after graduation: attend UIC

Accomplishments: achieving adulthood.

Special message: I am so proud of your accomplishments. I know life has thrown you curve balls but you knock em outta the park every time.
