A Virtual Pledge B Y HAN N AH LEE
Isabella Lane, a Carrboro High School junior who
lives in south Durham, was inducted into the National Honor Society (NHS) in April through a virtual ceremony. Her mom, Gloria Sanchez-Lane, who works as a social worker for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools district, stood by Isabella’s side in their dining room during the ceremony. “It was wonderful to be selected to represent my school,” she says, “and still a little disappointing as I was planning on wearing my grandmother’s traditional Mexican dress and celebrating my achievement with family and friends.” The virtual initiation had its lighthearted moments, too. Isabella listened to her principal read the four core values of NHS while a dog barked in the background. Isabella was one of 19 students who read the NHS membership pledge on Zoom. “It was nice to see friends from school, even if it was virtually,” Isabella adds.
