~Pandemic reflection~
I was in 5th grade when it all started. I remember being so excited to not have to go to school for a week or two. Then those two weeks turned into three. Then 4. Then 8. soon enough I realized we were not going to school anymore. We would go to work with my dad everyday and do our school work. Months passed and finally It was the last day of school. All the teachers at my elementary school got into their cars and drove around the neighborhoods to say goodbye. I couldn’t believe I have just spent the last 2 1/2 months doing online school. My 5th grade teacher was no longer going to be attending my elementary school so we said our goodbyes and I did in fact cry after that. Me and my friend were on a call after and we were both so scared to go to middle school, because school is hard and I had spent my whole life being bullied. The summer comes and I’m feeling extremely lonely. My best friend of 11 years had replaced me. I no longer felt like I had friends. Finally the summer is over and I get my schedule. I set out my clothes and my mask for the first day of school. I knew no one and couldn’t recognize anyone either with the masks. I had no friends in my classes, but then here come 4th period and my best friend in the whole wide world of like 8 years is in my class. We hug and are so relieved we had classes together. We ended up have 4 classes together. After a while of being in school I got used to the masks. The last day of school comes as if I was only in school for a week. People were aloud to not wear masks. I continued to wear mine though because I had people in my family who were high risk. Now here I am at dpms and I’m still wearing a mask. ._. My old middle school
