No Place Like the Playground
"It’s challenging to keep a mask on my face and not see my classmates’ smiles."
I missed my friends and going to school. I missed the most playing on the playground.
I learned to navigate through computer technology and Zoom. I learned to study with my mom and submit homework through Canvas. I didn't like to study with my parents. I preferred my teachers!
I worry that my brother and parents might get sick with COVID-19. The bright spot was that my older brother moved back home from college.
I love to go to school five days a week and learn in person and be with my classmates. It’s challenging to keep a mask on my face and not see my classmates’ smiles.
