Over quarantine I have been playing video games with my friends online. I have talked through face time and through the games. I stayed connected with my great friends and made even more friends online. I even got to know people from Canada. As long as i'm staying inside and still having fun with my friends, that’s all that matters to me.

I received a call during quarantine from my grandma. She was going on about how much she has missed me since we can never see each other because of COVID and she told me how she wanted me to make her something to remind her of me. So I had the idea of making snowflakes. This idea then spread throughout my entire family and it has brought us closer than ever even without physically being there with one another.

It is hard for us all to celebrate, stay joyful and motivated in these weird times. Although it does help when you have a few friends up your sleeve. The past year has been hard in a way of celebrating birthdays with friends, and just large groups of people. Even though everyone in my friend group turned 15 over quarantine, and we were not able to go out and celebrate like we wanted. Nowadays, social freedom has started coming back to us little by little, still with masks and distancing, but meeting up, and we can try to celebrate birthdays!

Over the past year a lot of people have had to be resilient, truly almost everyone has had to be resilient at some point in  the past year. Whether it's staying home more or wearing masks, everyone has had to make some sort of difficult change. A lot of people have been very resilient but there are two people that have been more reliant than most.
My grandparents have been very resilient, each in their own way, over the past year. At the end of 2019 my grandma was planning on going to help my Uncle and Aunt with their newborn baby in Minnesota and staying there a couple of weeks, and during those two weeks my grandpa planned on just working like he usually does. So my grandma went to Minnesota a day after the baby was born in January. My grandma had told my Uncle and Aunt that she would help them get everything balanced out before they had to go back to work. Unfortunately my baby cousin had a lot of issues with his heart and breathing. Basically my grandma stayed at their house for those two weeks while my Aunt and Uncle were at appointments with their son and never left the house, but two weeks turned into two months which eventually turned into six months. It turned out that the baby had a lot of problems, and over the course of six months had to have four surgeries.  My grandma stayed at their house for six months and babysat the newborn and their other daughter while my uncle and aunt worked, and did chores around the house. Not only did she stay there for so long but she rarely left the house because before Covid the baby was not healthy enough to leave the house, and by the time he was healthy Covid had already hit.
During this time my grandpa was left with a lot of extra things he had to do. My grandparents own 4 restaurants and are very busy so my grandpa opted to stay home for the time if my grandma stayed with my Aunt and Uncle. My grandpa was very busy during this time as well. He had a very busy schedule that made it hard for anything else to squeeze in. He ended up working Monday through Friday during the day and at night, and going up to Minnesota to visit them on the weekends. He would work from 11 to at least 8 every Friday, and then leave really early saturday morning. He would spend the rest of the weekend in Minnesota, and then come home early Monday morning in time to work sometime on Monday. With his tight schedule he didn't have a lot of time to do laundry, make dinner, and clean the house, but he somehow managed to get it all done. Not only is it hard to work so much and then drive a lot on the weekends, but no matter where he was he is always helping at work, because any questions go to him, and during Covid there are a lot of questions.
Overall my grandparents are amazing and are two of the most resilient people that I know.

Before the Pandemic, in our church we had Sunday School, but after the Pandemic, the adult part of church still happened, while Sunday School did not. That is when I struck the idea of starting one up, and when I did, it was light for the kids, because it meant, we could be together, tell our feelings, even when we were surrounded by the storm known as Covid 19, and we could prevail TOGETHER!!

Together; Even in the Midst of Resistance
This connect to what I said, but this was about my historical figure, which was Martin Luther, he was a man, that lived a normal life, but everything changed after a near death experience with lighting. After this, he dedicated his life to be monk, and became a bible professor. While here, there was a practice in the Catholic Church called Indulgence, and so wrote the 95 thesis, speaking out. Because he was united, with the German People he was able to make a difference.
Down Below is my song that connect my historical figure with what I did.

I think COVID-19 hit everyone like a truck. Being isolated for 3 and a half months due to a pandemic is something you only see in movies. During that nation wide quarantine I missed pretty much everything in more ways than one. Then, finally, I got to see my friends for the first time since the quarantine. I hadn't seen my friends in a very long time because of quarantine. I had to wait a lot longer to see my friends, and be a lot safer than other kids in my grade because my dad and some of my friends' parents are frontline workers. It felt really unfair that some kids got to do a lot more than my friends and I did, but in this time it's safety over everything. If we were to hangout it would be outside and socially distanced. So in the middle of May, my friends and I made a plan to have a socially distanced picnic. We needed to have a place for the picnic that was private and away from people, so we chose a beautiful field in one of my three friends' back yards. I was very excited to go and see my friends but I knew I also had to be very careful and considerate given the situation. When I got to the outside of her house that day and saw my friends I felt overwhelmed with happiness and gratitude that I was finally able to see them. I think the moment of resilience really hit me when we had finished walking through a clearing that led to the field and I saw it for the first time. The sun was shining perfectly that day, we were happy, laughing and separate of course literally, but still felt together. I Felt this resilience because me and my friends had made the right choices to be safe during this time in quarantine and times to come. Seeing them again that day gave me a new sense of hope and a feeling of comfort that everything would one day be okay again. Seeing them gave me strength and resilience. I learned and realized how incredibly strong my friends and I were. Everything we had endured at the age of 15, everything we had sacrificed, and given up so that the people we love and the community could be safe. My friends and I struggle with mental health sometimes too, so that on top of a pandemic would show strength in anyone. As hard as it was to stay distanced during that picnic it also was rewarding to know that we were being strong, resilient, and making the right decisions. That moment where I saw the glowing field, with some of the people I love surrounding me was extremely important and memorable to me because I finally felt okay again. Quarantine and Covid-19 was and is a dark, relentless cloud, and my friends and this field was a light for me.  I think you could say that anyone who endured 2020 is resilient. This past year has had so much grief, so many lows, and I think getting up stronger after you've been knocked down is what resilience really is. Seeing my friends that day after three months gave me new resilience and happiness I will never forget.

In 2020, on March 13, quarantine began. Remote operation and training have been introduced everywhere. I was no exception. I, like all teenagers, switched to home education and have been at home for more than 10 months.

Sitting at home is a rather boring occupation ... there is no one to talk to, you cannot invite a friend to visit, and walk the streets or shops only wearing masks! But even in this I found my advantages !!! Can't go out with friends? - we will miss each other more and will be more friendly when we meet! Is it boring to sit at home? - it doesn't matter either! You can take an interesting book and delve into the plot by reading! You can develop your creativity, for example, in quarantine, I learned how to cook new dishes and collect a Rubik's cube. Also at home you can rearrange the room, disassemble unnecessary things.

When interesting things in the house are over, you can use social networks and look for new friends and find common topics and interests with them! You can play different games online together and discuss it! You can also listen to music, dance, relax and have fun alone like not having fun with friends.

As a result, all minuses were replaced by pluses. Life changes are not always bad!

Resilience is when you feel emotionally bad but find the strength to move on! About myself, I learned that I'm not such a boring person and I can think of a lot out of boredom. One is good, but when something happens to you, a friend will come to you for support and help, or I will help a friend :)

My resilience story falls into the category of social media, quarantine, food. My resilience story will take shape of Photo Essay. I chose this particular form because through photographs a lot can be shown and explained with one picture. 1 photo instead of 1000 words. The photo shows my resilience because I found strength and patience and solved the Rubik's cube after a long time. Perhaps it will be interesting to someone, perhaps
