“Florida Governor Issues Statewide Stay-at-Home Order”

when I heard the news about covid 19 and the stay at home order, I was shocked. I remember the day vividly. i was sitting in science class in 6th grade march 19th, 2020. I received a email from the school saying we would have an extra week of spring break. It was probably the best news ever. Slowly that news started to get worse, and after the 2 weeks we would soon be facing 3 months of lockdown. From being a girl who went to school, and went to dance every day to online school and dance it was a huge adjustment. We had school for only 45 minutes each subject every Tuesday and Thursday. The rest of the day we had to “teach ourselfs” but i sure know i did not.  It was hard i couldn’t see my grandparents, due to them being of high risk. Everything changed so quickly, from “yay 2 weeks of spring break” to “millions hospitilized from covid 19” Everything was postponed. Me and my team where getting ready for the biggest dance competition of the season, just for it to get canceled. Zoom became the next big thing, online everything!

During the summer of 2020 we were supposed to go to Greece on a cruise. Well as we all know that did not happen. It was soon moved to the next year, while yes we had opened up again travel to other countries was not allowed. Now we come to this year, we are finally going!! 3 years ago i was 12, but now i am turning 15. In hispanic countries we have a huge party called  a quince. I will now be taking my pictures in Greece for my party. Im so excited, and to only is it beautiful there, the architecture is cool and very ancient. We aren’t only just going to Greece, we will go to Rome and Paris. Im so excited to start traveling again! I have always loved to travel, and explore other countries. It is good to travel and learn about different cultures. Not only is it beautiful, it is educational

Did you have to cancel any major event like a vacation, cruise, a Bar Mitzvah, etc. because of the pandemic?

Yes, we had a Greece cruise planned for the summer and has now been posponed for 3 years!

What would you tell yourself a year ago vs now?

I would say that every wee we word be able to go out, and now i know that, that was not the case. It would be like 3 months.

How is today different from when the pandemic first happened for you, your family, the nation, the world?

For me, everybody has kinda just gone back to normal. We have gotten so used to all the short cuts of the pandemic, going back was hard.

How has your life changed since first going on quarantine last year?

I learned to never to take a minute for granted. Everything changed so quickly, people lost there lives. We do not have time to waste!
