There is a large movement to defund police departments around the money and redistribute the money in different areas (for example - education, housing, etc.). Proponents of this cause argue there wouldn't be as much of a need for police if more money was put into programs that help people so they don't make choices that will get them in trouble with the law in the long run. Below is a graph of the current 2020 proposed budget. Do you think the police department is over-funded? If so, what areas should more money be distributed to and why?

# data[].attributes.body
i think that the police are a bit over funded. what they do is very important, and definitely does require a large amount of funding,  for vehicles, weapons, and other essential resources. but a lot of these resources are being misused. police aren't given guns  to threaten or shoot at  peaceful protesters. they aren't for killing innocent people because of their race. they aren't given tear gas to mace children. the police are given all that funding so that they can keep us all safe. but so many people don't feel safe around cops.  we should be using some of the money that the police departments get to fund civil rights, which barely has any funding.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that we should take away at least 1/2 of the funding for the police and put most of it into the housing, sustainability and environment, and civil rights categories, with a bit going to arts and culture and education. This is because the housing crisis in Seattle is very real, and we need to put as much money as possible into housing so that we can make it affordable for everyone. The reason I think we should put funding in sustainability and civil rights is because I think it they are the most underrepresented categories on the budget. They are both huge issues, but are getting a tiny fraction of the funding that the police are getting.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that the police funding should be diverted to immigrant and refugee  affairs and housing because those things having more money will help more people  but diverting  funding from the police wont help allot instead we need to stop the things causing the crimes like homelessness and drug abuse

# data[].attributes.body
I think that, yes, the police department is over-funded. Especially is they're going to use these funds in a way that would harm the community. I also think that they should take some/half or that funding and put it to other things that are important at this time, like Civil Rights and Housing.

# data[].attributes.body
It's hard to mess around with things like budget. It's a delicate system. Every little move helps one person and screws another person over. It's also hard if you don't have the whole picture of what is being used for what, what is being wasted, what is being misused, etc.
I think that the police budget is really high. I don't know if the money they're using is actually necessary or not. I don't know what they spend money on, so it's hard to know what is extra and what is being misused. It could be that all that money is necessary for permits or something. I think that on the one hand, the police have so much money compared to the others. On the other hand, if the police have less money, they might not be able to have as many cops, and if there are less cops, crime will go up and more cases will go unsolved. It'll be easier to get away with crimes. Personally, I don't think the fix in the system starts or ends with the budget, I think there needs to be a change in training and harsher punishments for police. Changing the budget won't make all the problems in the world go away, but it's a small step.
I'm also looking at the parks and recreation budget, and that is really high as well. I think it could be lowered as well. First off, less and less people are going to parks nowadays because kids just want to sit inside, watch shows, and play video games. I know parks and recreation does more than just organizing parks, such as planning fairs and festivals and such, but I doubt that takes 250 million to do that.
I think more money should go to civil rights, sustainability and environment, and refugee affairs because there is a shockingly low amounts of money going into those things.
I also think housing should be raised. There are so, so many people without homes at this time. It might also make crime rates go down because a lot of crimes are committed because people need money quickly for things like taxes, rent, debt, etc.

A child was maced on Saturday in Seattle during the protests, what feelings, questions, and thoughts does this image bring up in you?

Do you think you, as a kid/ young adult, should attend protests?

# data[].attributes.body
1. This image makes me extremely angry at the police for spraying pepper spray at the protest. Maybe they didn't know that there were kids at the protest, but I don't think so, and anyway, that is hurtful to adults as well
2. I think that if kids really want to go to a peaceful protest, then they should. The Childrens' March changed the course of the Civil Rights movement, after all.

# data[].attributes.body
this image scares me.  it scares me that even a tiny child has to fear this kind of violence for standing up for what they believe in. what kind of person is so terrible that they would hurt a child for protesting peacefully?i've seen a lot of other images of police and guards threatening children at protests- one of them was somebody pointing a gun at a little girl who couldnt have been more than 3, who was just sitting on her dads shoulders. i want to be able to stand up for black lives matter, but my parents told me that it was too dangerous to go to the protests. i can see why. kids probably shouldn't be going to these protests, because a lot of them are probably just going because their parents are- they may not all understand what they are protesting for. if a child is completely aware of what the risks are, and want to go, then that choice is theirs- or their parents. but a while from now, maybe my kids will be learning about this in school, and they'll ask me what i did. i dont want to say that i did nothing. so even if i cant go to protests, there are other things that i can still do. that we can still do. we can put up signs in our windows, we can keep ourselves aware of everything thats happening right now instead of blocking it out. there are ways for everyone, even kids, to stand up for what they believe in without putting themselves in danger.

# data[].attributes.body
it makes me feel scared and angry that some one did something so horrible to a child and when they where just protesting fore rights.
i am not going to a protest because my dad is at high risk of covid and it is to dangerous

# data[].attributes.body
This makes me mad, Even at peaceful protests the police are there hurting people just trying to fight for what they believe. They never did anything to deserve this! this is not fair for people. I thought the polices jobs were to help us make make you not scared, but right now i'm terrified and mad.
Even though some people are vandalizing places and messing up the streets of downtown, that doesn't mean that the police can fire rubber bullets and let off tear as at the people who did it, but they also do it to the insentient people trying to have a peaceful protest!
I want to help, but i would probably end out getting hurt.

# data[].attributes.body
As someone who's only heard small tidbits of what's going on in the outside world, I'm going to have to simply say, no, I shouldn't be protesting at this age.

First off, it's still as dangerous as it has been these past few days to go outside, especially in big groups, and even if that's what we're peacefully protesting for.

Secondly, it's much easier to stop children from protesting. Even if it's just peacefully. (I'm not saying that it's a good thing, I'm saying it's another issue.)

And also, this picture literally just makes me as a person feel like scum. Someone had the guts to approach a CHILD and spray them with a something that would 100% cause harm to them. It's just plain disgusting.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that little kids shouldn't be at these protests, especially with all the violence that is going on downtown. I think that even kids who are around my age (12) shouldn't be going to these protests, especially if they don't have the whole picture on how unsafe it actually is. Even then, what they see or experience could be traumatic to a young person. Young adults should only go if they want to and if they are properly educated of the risks and are socially, emotionally, and mentally ready to see and experience the violence going on during the protests. I think that kids who are old enough and mature enough should definitely be aware of what is happening in the world without it being sugarcoated or completely being shielded from the truth, but they shouldn't have to experience it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the parents shouldn't have took the child to the protest because it's more dangerous to be there as a child then a grown up. And a child has a higher pain tolerance because it would be more painful. A few days ago my sister really wanted to attend one but of course my parents said no because it was way too dangerous and because they're really scared about Covid-19.

i don't really know what my very first memory was. the earliest parts of my life are more snippets of blurred together, pieces of memories that i now try to grab onto, but can't quite reach. there are things that i know happened, but i can't actually remember. my parents show me videos of when i was little, and now i can't tell if i remember them or not- the lines between my memories and the existence of my early moments are blurring together. i have a few significant memories from when i was little, but not when i was a baby, more when i was three or maybe four. i don't remember learning to walk, or saying my first word- but i don't think i need to. the first time i spoke surely meant a lot more to my parents then it would have to me.
during this meditation, i was trying to search for early memories, but i realized that after a certain point things start to become unclear. it makes me wonder if, thirteen years from now, all of this will be a distant, confusing memory that i can't figure out if it is a story or something that i actually experienced.

# data[].attributes.body
When I was little, I wanted to to be an astronaut and go to Mars. I remember picking an arbitrary date for when I'd do this - at first it was 2013, because going into space as a six-year-old sounded like a really good idea at the time. I did this arbitrary-date thing with other things in my life, too. Up until I was about seven or eight years old, I wanted to do everything in my life at the age of 25. For example, I wanted to have all three of the kids I wanted when I was 25. Obviously, I didn't quite understand how pregnancy worked, or the simple fact that my spouse might not want to have three kids.

1. The moment you found out about the corona virus.
2. The moment you learned schools were canceled for 2 weeks
3. The moment you found out school was canceled for the rest of the year
4. Try to picture yourself 5 months from now, what questions/ predictions are coming up for you?

# data[].attributes.body
1. i was in my language arts class, and we were watching cnn 10, and Carl Azuz says that there is a virus in wuhan China. I was scared but every one was saying that kids cant get it so i was not that worried.

2. When i found out that schools were out for 2 weeks i was in science class and my science teacher told us. I was really excited but in the back of my mind i was kinda scared that the virus is getting this  bad. I had to leave school early, not knowing that i was not going to see my friends for months and months.

3. i was in my kitchen with my family, and my parents got a call from my school tell us theres not more school. I was very confused.

4. I believe that society will never be the same after the virus. It's going to take along time until we are even close to what the world was like before.

My covid-19 life
1. I was at home eating dinner with my family until someone brought it up I wasn't really scared of it but I was worried.
2.I personaly didn't think about how it could spread world wide and that kind made me worrie every one in a while.
3.when I found out school was getting closed for a while and that I could hang out with my friend's but we couldn't hang out because then the sickness could spread faster.
4.me and my dad were chilling when he looked on his phone and got a call for canceling school for a long time and I was kinda sad that I won't see my friends for a long time .

# data[].attributes.body
I was sitting on my couch watching the news when a reporter said that Covid was a thing. I felt sad that there was a thing in china, but i was not as sad or scared as i am now. i was in my room painting when my mom got a call saying school was cancled for the rest of the year. And when i was younger i said to my nabor i thought we would be in a quaraintine for a nucular warfare not pandemic.

# data[].attributes.body
1. When I first found out about the coronavirus I was in my 4th period history class. My teacher, Mr. Bey, handed out some articles about it. I honestly could've cared less. It didnt seem like it would effect me so I just ignored it
2.when I first found out that school was canceled for two weeks, I was again, in Mr. Bey's class. There was an announcement and everyone was overjoyed. I was really excited to get out of school for two weeks!
3. I got a text from my friend that school had been canceled for the rest of the year and I was pretty mad. I thought he was joking at first, but 10 minutes later my mom told me the same thing. It was an outrage😔
4.I hope school goes back to normal in the next five months. I just hate this whole situation, and five months from now I picture myself sitting in a classroom at franklin. I dont think the world will be 100% the same after this for a long time. We can only hope😪😪

1- i was watching the news with my dad and i got all the facts and later that night was just thinking what if it comes in the U.S
2-my mom called me and told me and i was happy because i would not be counted absent
3- i was in California and Mychaela called me when we were checking in to the hotel and told me, and my dad was worried that i would not be able to come back home and they would shutdown the airports
4-I think not everybody is going to go out when they say we can and i hope everybody still continue's to put on a mask when  they go to the store and wipe down the groceries and wash your hands and wipe down surfaces

I have a lot of memories of when I was really little. It's hard to tell which are from my actual memories and which are stories I've heard, seen, or made up.
For some reason all of my memories are in 3rd person, so I watch it like I'm a bystander, and I  see myself, instead of seeing what I actually saw from my perspective.  Even if I'm trying to remember something from yesterday or the day before, It's always 3rd person.
During that video, I was mainly shifting through a bunch of scrambled memories, wondering if they were actually my memories or just stories I heard, saw, or made up. I was also trying to figure out which goes where in the timeline of my life. I mainly looked at how long my hair was in each memory to tell about how old I was.
I remember the weirdest, most random memories from my childhood. Most of them are just a frozen image in time, and I remember the story that goes with it.
I'm also good at matching names to faces, even if I've only met the person once. Again, it's usually a frozen image of their face, but if someone mentions their name, I'll know who they're talking about, what they look like, and sometimes a detail or two about them. It doesn't work as well the other way around though. If I see someone, I can't match their name to their face. It's quite strange. For me the face and name matching is only a one-way ticket.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that really effects me is my sleep schedule, i usually play Roblox or Minecraft till 12, then i usually on the phone with my friends till 1 then  shower and after i shower, which is around 1;45-2;25 i go down stairs and snuggle with my dogs and watch YouTube. i am usually asleep by 3;00-3;30. then i wake up at 10. for me i dont need much sleep to be hyped and crazy like normal. the mornings for me are boring, including school stuff and housework. i like to walk my dogs every other day, we also run around in the yard a bunch. each Friday my derby team goes to a HUGE parking lot and gets to skate. most of the time when i have nothing to do i paint, work on my cosplays and watch much anime.

So I'm in my room, sitting at my desk, and I have to walk around for a few minutes. Nice.
.
.
Okay, so there's my bed in the corner. I used to have a quilt with purple and white flowers on it, but now my bedsheets are white with pink, purple, blue and gold speckles on it. I actually re-made this design in Animal Crossing, and they're both my bedsheets and the shirt my teddy bear wears in-game. On my bed, there's a few stuffed animals, the pillow with the pillowcase I had sewn when I was 10, maybe 11, the smaller pillow with the Toriel fan-art pillowcase. I have the same fan-art as my background for my tablet. I have a few blankets stacked in the corner of my bed, in case it gets really cold.
.
.
The window is right above my bed. If i get a drink of water before bed, I either put it on my desk or on the windowsill. It's big enough. My windowsill also holds my drawing figurines that I use for reference, my medieval sword, my Minecraft Diamond sword that I got from Minecon, a convention that was hosted right here in Seattle last year. I also remember I got a signature from one of my favorite Minecraft Youtubers at the same con. That was fun.
.
.
My bookshelves are just across from my bed. I'm noticing they're a bit dis-organized. I should clean it up later. There's also my clock, a box of tissues, and a vase of flowers directly across from the head of my bed. For some reason, I can't shake the fact that my clock is always 17 seconds behind. Exactly 17 seconds.
.
.
Right beside my desk is my big, fluffy, white beanbag. I combined it with my big furry pink pillow, so now it's really comfy. At night, if I can't sleep, then I'll just take my blankets and sit there for a while until I get tired again.
.
.
The wall my desk is beside holds my closet. The doors are broken, so they won't shut all the way. It literally drives me insane at night, there's just that small crack of darkness I can't seem to look away from. It creeps me out, I've always been a nyctophobe. Leaning against it is that pole I had set up for my night-light. When my lamp broke, I had to find an alternative. So I took a string of lights, plugged it in below my desk, tied it to that pole and leaned it along my closet doors. It's just the right size to fit in and fill the crack of darkness, which is nice.
.
.
Back to my desk, we have the tangle of cords below it, the bucket of art supplies that lies along the wall on the desk, and my Laptop, right in the middle of it, waiting for me. Time to write, I suppose.

There is a old wooden bench with a broken birdhouse, that is painted with suns and clouds, next to that is a metal bucket and a pile of sticks. Next to bench is a rusty barbeque that would be used to cook salmon with family friends. Farther in the yard There are garden beds with straw barry plants and tomato plants. Next to that garden bed is another garden bed with lettuce. There are strings of lights above the yard that would be used to be the only source of light for late night party's. The grass is growing really long for my dog to run through.

What advice would I give the world right now

# data[].attributes.body
Everyone could use some friendly, helpful advice in these stressful times. Just remember to keep a positive mindset if you want your head to stay on your shoulders. Always wear a mask and gloves when in public. And always have a concealable tranquilizer gun at your side. You never know when an infected "zombie" might try to spread the virus. I use horse tranquilizers just to be on the safe side. I can't stress this enough: STAY PARANOID! It is a warzone out there. 2020 isnt the cushy life you're so accustomed to. It's the apocalypse, so remember. Stay safe and stay happy 👍

My Advice to Donald Trump and other elected officials

# data[].attributes.body
I am tired of turning on the news and seeing that we have not used this time to come together. This should be a time in our history when everyone, I mean everyone is on the same page! I am saddened to see how this virus is affecting people of color and poor people. My advice is for the administration to acknowledge that opening up businesses will kill poor and feeble who have to go to work to pay their bills. My advice is to stop bailing out corporations. My advice is that businesses with less than 500 employees count as small businesses!!!! How? It is clear that you don't care about us unless we are making you money. My advice is to care more about individuals than money for once.

Step 1 and 2: Descriptive Listing
1. Toddler white table and wooden chair
2. One purple snow boot
3. Baby blue plush throw pillow
4. Toddle latte cup Fisher Price toy
5.  Orange tooth brush

Step 3: Free Write
My daughter chews on the handle of the bright orange tooth brush. I wonder if she thinks she is brushing her teeth. I often wonder what is going through her little head, mostly when she intentionally rips up a box or takes a 🤬 out of her alphabet puzzle piece. The weirdest part is when she says "Uh Oh" clearly you knew what you were doing and had the audacity to say "Uh Oh" afterwards. Sometimes I sit on the little wooden chair while I have meetings, no idea why, but they are oddly comfortable. I can't stand the latte cup toddler toy, why would a toddler need to emulate drinking coffee? Why did I buy that for her? Wait, did I buy that? I remember when I could just go to the store and buy stuff, wow what a distant memory now. I wonder if the world will ever get back to normal? Will I get to go to IKEA and buy unnecessary plush pillows for the couch? Will I get to wear my weirdly bulky snow boots to school and get judged? These are the random things I get to think about at home. Bored.

1. a black and white picture of me and my friends, miette, elizabeth and my sister emma, dressed up in silly costumes and animal ears.
2. a white mug that says "world's best boss" , like the one that sits on michael's desk in the show "the office".
3. a picture of a dog named Torvi
4. a plate of nacho style corn chips (you know, like the ones with the red dust on them)
5. my black dell chromebook computer
the picture of me and my friends was taken at girl scout camp 2 years ago. we were posing for a photo booth. looking at that picture, i wonder how long it will be before i get to be with my friends again. if i told the laughing, smiling people in that picture where they would be in 2 years, i doubt they would have believed me. i hope that i'll be able to take more pictures like this one- carefree, happy, and closer than 6 feet.
the worlds best  boss mug was given to me by sadie, at my 13th birthday party. i still remember coming to school on my birthday, to see every inch of my locker covered in purple streamers and balloons. so many of my friend's birthdays have passed during this quarantine, and i wish that i could decorate their lockers, cover them in so many streamers that they couldnt see the door underneath, and wish them a happy birthday in person, but i can't. the best i can do is call, and send a card in the mail.
the dog, Torvi, in the picture, was one of my dogwalking clients last summer. she was the happiest dog alive, no kidding- once she actually sprained her tail from wagging too much.
the nacho style corn chips are both my and my friend miette's favorite kind of chip- once, we had a sleepover, and my parents bought us each an entire bag. we ate them while watching the lion king- we sang along to hakuna matata VERY LOUDLY, by the way.
my computer is basically my link to everything right now. it's how i get to school, how i complete assignments. though, i'll admit that isn't all i use it for. sometimes, i turn off the internet so that i can play the little dinosaur game that pops up when there's no signal. my high score is 4,000, which i am unnaturally proud of. is this what it's come to? i get so excited about the littlest things now.  a high score in a weird computer game, getting to wave at a friend from the window. maybe it's a good thing. it's nice to be able to open your eyes every now and then,  just to appreciate the little things.

1) National Geographic History magazine
2) Nintendo Switch
3) "Double Shutter" game
4) The World's Longest Picture Maze
5) Bottle of Vitamin D

Step 3:
The National Geographic History Magazine is a subscription I got last year as a gift, but haven't been reading very much. The Switch, on the other hand, was my birthday present this year, and use a lot. Double Shutter is a solo game that I play a lot when I'm bored. I've had it for as long as I can remember, and I'm really good at it. The World's Longest Picture Maze is another birthday gift - it's like a maze that when you solve it, it becomes a picture - it's really cool, but I've been too intimidated by it to start it. My mom got the vitamin D on a heavy discount at Bartells.

1) blue ceramic coffee mug
2) white bunk bed
3) keyboard
4) window
5) potted plant

My empty coffee mug reminds that the morning is over.  The click click click of my keyboard keeps me grounded in my work.
I look at my 10 by 10 foot square space and feel like an astronaut living in a space station.  The bunk bed up against my work stations.  Luckily I have my plant to remind me of nature and a window that looks south - I see Lake Washington in the distance and I wonder, does nature know we are in quarantine?

a whiteboard with my daily schedule written on it
a small green plant
my rose gold sunglasses
my yellow iphone
my gold math notebook

As I'm in this quarantine, I try to stick to the schedule that I have written on my small whiteboard that sits next to my bed, but sometimes it's hard to, because I have so much going on in my head that I sometimes forget things that I have to do. Sometimes I will take a break and get something to eat, or water the  small green plants on my windowsill, but then I get distracted and look at my phone, or decide that I want to go on a bike ride. I am glad that it has been sunny the last couple of days, because it usually lifts my mood and encourages my to go outside and enjoy the day rather than to stare blankly at my phone. I am also happy that I get to wear sunglasses. My sunglasses remind me of summer and all the good times I had while wearing them. I guess they just give me a sense of hope for the future. I also enjoy writing in my math notebook because I get to use these shiny metallic paint pens that I probably wouldn't be able to use otherwise.

1. photo of me swimming with a dolphin named Ollie with my hair braided
2. my older dog sleeping on my bed.
3. all my cluttered art supply on my desk

whenever i look up from my computer i see the photo of when i went to mexico last year, the photo is taken when a dolphin was "kissing my cheek" i got to swim with him and play with him.

my older dog is sleeping on my bed and she sometimes flinches and wines, probably because she is dreaming. she is curled up in a ball and snuggling on my fuzzy blanket.

at like 3 in the morning i was painting the covers of some of my notebooks so they are more my style. i have my 3 jars of  colored pens, black pens and pencils. i have the drawing i'm working on staked on top of my huge bin which holds all my sharpies. and my many colored pencils scattered around.

1) A Chocolate Cake
2) My leftovers from Breakfast
3) An teal-colored kettle
4) A 🤬 bin
5) My "Skool" Sign

I get easily distracted sometimes.
Right now my eyes are on that Chocolate Cake Mom baked yesterday. But...I had Breakfast a few hours ago--I can see my plate from here. I should go put it in the kitchen.
.
.
.
Now my eyes are on Mom's Kettle. It reminds me of that one scene in My Hero, with Todoroki and his mom. Tragic, really.
.
The trash bin is right beside Mom's Kettle. It's where Endeavor belongs.
.

Back at my seat now. Hey, look, it's the "Skool" sign that I put up as a joke for future Zoom calls. People seem to like it. Speaking of people, I should get back to work.

I see a water bottle
A piano
A computer mouse
A pencil
A highlighter

The water bottle is blue with a white nike logo and with a black bottle cap. The bottle is empty but it used to have a full cup of ice water inside.

My piano is what I practice on for 30 min every day. I have had that piano ever since I started playing piano which was 5 years ago.

This pencil is what I write with for my homework each day. It is yellow and has a pink eraser.

My computer mouse is black and silver. It is what I use with for homework on my computer. I have had my mouse for 2 weeks.

My highlighter is orange. It is another thing that is on my dek that i use for homework during the day. I usually have to use it for science and piano practice. those are really the only times that I use it.

step 1: note books, pens and paper, water glass, computer, chairs at the dinner table.

step 2: Note books that are warn from working in them, pens with only half the ink left and paper with scribles all over the page, my glass that had orange juice drank out of it, my mothers computer, the wooden chairs around my dinner table.

step 3: I sit at my dinner table typing on my moms computer, trying to finish all the work assined to me from my teachers. As i scrible on paper trying to get my mind straight, i pick up my glass realizing i drank all my orange juice. "mabey i should get more" i think to myself, but then i remember i have a meating in 2 minutes. I shift in my chair and log into my meeting.

On my desk, I see a plastic water bottle with the cap off, its a little smushed and there is about a sip of water left inside. I see a curtain in front of me that looks like the Guam seal, it has a proa (a boat), a coconut tree, and a hibiscus flower. I see my phone, it has a case of the Guam flag but, with flowers on it.

The water bottle on my desk is actually the bottle of water I brought with me yesterday to do some work.

The curtain is something that my mom bought before we came to the states. We also bought another curtain that has an ukulele on it.

My phone is something I use everyday. I use it to communicate with friends and to talk with family. I also use it to listen to music during car rides when I'm bored.

I see a tabby cat on my lap, a blue coffee table, a pair of boots, a record player, and a tall floor lamp. The cat is named Taddies and she is purring. The coffee table is old and has knitted gloves sitting on it. The boots are my mom’s Dr. Martins. the record player, also my mom’s, has no record in it. It is black and brown. The lamp is tall and has a rectangular shaped lamp shade. “🤬 you just died,” “where am I?”
“Your in hell. What’s the last thing you remember?”
“Let me think... I see a tabby cat on my lap....”

1. Hello kitty bedding from when I was  about 5 years old
2. My 5 year old sister, Zosha's wooden doll house
3. Bookshelf packed with books, picture books on the lower shelves, chapter books on the higher shelves.
5. A window to my backyard

My bedding has a pink pillow with a flower and hello kitty's face in the center of the flower. My blankets are gray with a large full-body image of hello kitty with fire coming out of the feet like rockets. Above Hello kitty's head is a rainbow. I know that Hello kitty is considered pretty lame, especially for a 7th grader, but frankly, I don't care. I got them when I was about 5 years old because I really liked hello kitty back then. I don't feel like asking for new bedding because I don't need it. Blankets and pillows are meant to keep you comfortable, not to keep up with your interests.
I share a room with my little sister, Zosha, so a lot of her stuff is in our room. She has a lot of toys she enjoys playing with. She keeps books, trinkets, stuffies, dollhouses, and more in our room. I remember when I first agreed to share my room with her. The only reason I agreed was because we would turn her room into an office. It was 100% worth it.
The backyard. My backyard has a willow tree in it. A small, gravel path to walk down, and ferns on the other side. A wood chip path connects my backyard to all my neighbors' yards.

The first 5 things i see around me, are a bouquet of flowers at my dinner table, my laptop which i'm staring dead right now, and my 2 sisters (Fabiola and Olivia), and a poster my friend gave me before i read one of my speeches. I'm in the living room of my house which is partly filled with greenery and a nice, wide brown table. I'm just hoping that the vaccine for this virus, becomes shared with anyone who needs it, and if it doesn't, i hope we all stay safe and healthy.

"My life will be different because _____"

# data[].attributes.body
My life won't be very different - I can go outside and hang out with my friends, but until the coronavirus dies down completely and we have a vaccine, I won't want to do very much of that kind of thing, since one of my moms is in a very high risk group, since she has heart disease, so I need to be extra cautious about it to make sure she doesn't get it. Maybe I can have one of my friends over, or go  to a park, but nothing too big.

# data[].attributes.body
My life will be different by seeing actual people. My mom has been saying through this whole stay at home order that it would be nice to just see people. And by that, she meant that it would be good to be with other people or friends and not have to worry about staying 6 feet apart. 2 weeks ago, I went over to my friends house because it was her moms birthday so we were having a mini party for her. We eventually ended up staying there until 10 O'clock, and it was sad how we couldnt really hang out with them, because we had to stay 6 feet apart. (just kidding, we broke the rules a little bit and were only 3 feet apart), but it was still sad.

# data[].attributes.body
i honestly sort of doubt that they are going to end the stay at home order this soon. but, if they do, i don't really know what i'd do. would they reopen stores? would we still have to maintain social distancing?  how much would really change?  if the stay at home order ends, are we still probably going to need to wear masks, right? the virus is still there. people are still sick. it's not just going to go away in a few days. if we aren't careful, things are going to get worse all over again. i don't think that things are going back to normal just yet- not completely anyway. and yeah, this sounds pretty negative. but it's not a bad thing that we should be staying home to help our healthcare workers, is it? maybe it's inconvenient, but it keeps people safe. as much as i don't like our current situation, i don't want it to end too early, because more people could get sick because of it. when this is all really, ACTUALLY over, i'll be so, so happy, but for now, i think things might have to stay where they are.

# data[].attributes.body
When the stay at home order ends, I don't think my life will change much. I think that just because the stay at home order will have ended doesn't mean that that coronavirus is all of a sudden gone. We should still take the same safety precautions.

# data[].attributes.body
Well, my life will probably be different because of the lack of social interaction. And over this time period i have had some problems with friendships and stuff like that. I have not been doing much of the activity i like because i'm usually in my room drawing, painting, sewing, and playing with my dogs. It will also be different because my friends and i would probably hangout a bunch after we are "set free" And i cant finally go back to roller skating inside.

this may not seam like much but swimming is the way release stress  and get exercise. but i will probably only go on fridays when there is the least amount of people so my family won't get sick but once it gets warmer i am going to try freediving in the sound and that might help in the meantime.

I'd be able to go to places, like parks, stores, and get groceries without feeling uncomfortable about this virus. Also, i'd be able to actually enjoy spring/summer with all my family and friends as well. Lastly, everyone would be able to communicate in person, and we'd all be able to enjoy 2020, instead of having it be the worst year of our lives.

Therefore, even in the face of adversity, I find things to smile about.
