Melissa Hong is a 14-year-old freshman who started making Origami ever since covid. She realized that it was hard to make friends during the pandemic. Origami was something Melissa used to connect with her friends online, spending hours on Zoom making cool models they found online. Melissa particularly enjoyed crafting origami flowers and bunnies, aligning with the Year of the Rabbit during the lunar new year. She often uses Post-it notes to make the origami bunnies since the paper is already cut into a square. In this piece, she also used Post-it notes. One thing she struggled with was the sticky sides of the notes which made it harder to do correct folds.
