First-day anxiety plagues the minds of everyone resuming school in the fall. From what to wear, to how to ace that math class even after most people have warned against taking it. Yes, first-day anxiety- especially for incoming freshman. New changes to dress code, AP exams, class rank calculation and even improved safety precautions signal a wave of new beginnings and fresh ideas for the Class of 2022.

Mia Nguyen, 9
“Legacy seemed scary at first because it was a new surrounding, but after the first day of school I realized the classes were not as difficult as I thought they would be.”

“I went in and I was terrified. I had no clue what I was doing and it was a big shock, but as I went through the day, I realized it was easier and a lot less stressful. Nothing was as hard as I expected and in a way, it felt like a second home already.”
Dayne Duke, 9
“I’m a freshman, so it’s a whole new experience, but it’s awesome. I was nervous at first, but it got easy to navigate. The teachers are amazing and nice and the coaches are great.”
