Politz Day School - Anonymous: 8th Grade Covid Reflection
-
If you had told me 12 months ago that I would be on Zoom for months and then be back in school with masks and social distancing I would have told you that you were crazy. COVID-19 is a challenge I never expected I would have to face. It is difficult to have to wear a mask all day and not to be able to hang out with my friends the same way as before. Technology is not perfect, which makes having teachers on Zoom very problematic.
In everything in life, you can look at the bad and you can look at the good. It is very difficult to find goodness in Covid. Something favorable that I found out during Covid is that I am not just watching out for ourselves. Wearing masks is not just protecting me but protecting my friend, family and anyone else I see. I am responsible for not just me but other people. I get to help my community by keeping us all safe.
Covid is a hurdle that I know is difficult but I know I will get through it. Not seeing my friends and not being able to hug my grandparents is something I never thought I would have to go through. Waking up every day is harder knowing that I can’t hug my friends and grandparents. As the old saying goes “You don't pursue happiness you create it.” We are all going through something awful but if we stay positive Covid won’t defeat us.
