I left school in March. My friends and I been treating it as a bit of a joke until then. I felt like it was something far away from me.

The school days kept getting cancelled and pretty soon they told us we would not be going back.

I was mostly just relaxing at home and doing my work. I had done school online before so it wasn't unfamiliar.

It felt real when my cousin, who's a nurse in Mexico, called us crying saying that she had the coronavirus. Pretty soon after, more of my family members started getting it. That's when I started taking social distancing seriously.

Staying at home was starting to become a new normal. The county was trying to decide whether to go back to school or not. Many claimed that the coronavirus didn't affect children that much. My cousin who had the coronavirus scoffed at this since she had seen many children in ventilators at the hospital she worked at.

I'm finally in school again, but I'm doing it online. I wonder when or if this pandemic will end and if we will ever be able to go back to "normality".
