I met Mone’t and Gigi (off camera) as I was walking downtown Winter Garden. They were doing graduation pictures and I offered to take some for them. I then asked them what it’s been like as a senior in 2020. This was her answer:

“It’s been pretty rough as a senior. My senior year is basically over. I never went to prom. I never got to finish what I wanted to do as a senior. I mean, it’s hard and it’s sad, but that’s life. I just have to move on and live with it. I just have to make the best out of my college experience.”

Q: If there is one thing you want to say to anybody reading this, what would it be?

A: “Probably my favorite quote. ‘You’re the chosen one. Flowers never pick themselves.’”

Mone’t is planning on attending Valdosta State after this is all over.
