On any normal school day, I wake up at 7:15 AM, get dressed, brush my teeth, and head out the door to make it to school on time. We go through eight periods a day with our classmates and teachers, then we all part our own separate ways either going home, after school activities or sports. We finally get to go home after a long day at school to get homework done and eat dinner, to then repeat the same thing five days a week. Spring sports started the first week of March, for me, lacrosse started every day after school. Many athletes look forward to the spring season of sports. Especially for seniors, this is their last season of sports till they graduate. For them this is the last time playing a High School sport with their fellow classmates, this year things were different. March 12, 2020, was our last day in school for this school year. That means, no sports, musical, prom, APEX, graduation, and any other school activities that take place at the end of the year. To get the call that we will not be going back to school and moving to online school was devastating.
The boring long days in my house with my family began, waking up at 11:30-12 every day was starting to feel normal. It was almost like everything just got flipped upside down and changed completely. Due to the coronavirus, our school has been shut down for the rest of the 2019-2020 school year. Not getting to see my friends and classmates every day was the biggest change, I was so used to the same schedule, now I do school work on my time whenever I want. It can sometimes be difficult to finish work when you get stuck and have a question, then need to wait for that teacher to respond to the email. So much has changed for everyone, with parents working from home or not working at all, college kids home, everything closed. We have all had to work with the adjustments that this virus has sprouted on us and hopefully will be back to “normal” again.
