So, we aren’t going back to school tomorrow. Whether you are a part of the "I knew the lockdown would be extended" group, or one of the hopeful students who wanted their school schedule back, we are in this together (but 6 feet apart of course.)
This period of self isolation has been a unique experience no one could have predicted. Some people seem to be enjoying their individual time or bonding time with family, while others long to be outside, hanging out with friends and going on adventures. All I can say is, this too, shall pass. Keep up with your Google Classroom notifications and join the class calls- I know it can be easy to ignore the notifications, but you have to remember that you will need this knowledge for years of education to come. Still, don't be too hard on yourself. If you aren't being as productive as you were before, it’s because change is exhausting.
Finally, I must include special mentions to the Class of 2020. Even though the world is turning upside down, we all had expectations for our senior year that are just not going to happen. It's unfortunate how we have been impacted, but the best years of our life are yet to come. So, hold on to hope and dream for the future because there are great things to come for all of us. Thanks for reading, fellow quaran-teen!
