Four years ago, Douglas Hohman turned old enough to vote. He had turned 18 years old in May, yet, for a number of reasons, he never got around to voting for either President Joe Biden or former President Donald Trump.
The year 2020, Hohman explained, was not the best for him.
“It was my senior year when COVID hit, and I missed out on so many things I had been looking forward to: my senior prom on the Gateway Clipper, the senior walk parents do with their parents at Penn Hill High School football field at graduation, and just overall sense of belonging,” Hohman said.
The now 22-year-old from Penn Hills, Pennsylvania, works at Oakmont Bakery, doing janitorial work, as well as helping customers who need extra hands carrying their cakes back to the car, especially if the cakes are oversized as mine was.
