I think any challenges that I may have had being a younger person in a lot of the classes that I was in for a lot of my academic career, it wasn't honestly the biggest challenge in actual class because a lot of them were on zooms or if I was getting a test proctor, it was just me and the proctor that were involved in that. - Dorothy Jean Tillman
