For many students, milestones, celebrations, momentous occasions and farewells will be missed due to COVID-19.
UCA seniors like @PaulRouse11 inspire us by facing this with a perspective of help for the greater good.
If I have to give up my senior season of college baseball for someone to get to spend 10+ more years with their grandparents or a baby gets to live a full happy life, then take it away. It’s not about you
