It's like ever since COVID changed everything, every student has been doing the same process every day. When Sierra mentioned that her eyes stay peeled to a computer screen basically all day, that's when I knew every teenager or child is going through the same thing. Each student also tended to say that they was a lack in motivation since virtual learning came about. And I can honestly say that the motivation to keep immaculate grades did slip.]]> 2021-04-08 15:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1396300985 Arianna Burbage https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1396320685 I agree with everyone who was mentioned in the article. Like Sierra and Nayvon mentioned, I was really looking forward to my senior year and using this as a way to step out and explore more opportunities around me. But this pandemic took that away from me. For me personally, I have had to deal with the death of 2 of my aunts and 2 of my cousins along with staying on top of my school work. In addition, I became more distant and I would literally just lock myself in my room all day. I miss seeing my friends everyday and hanging out after school.]]> 2021-04-08 15:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1396320685 Emani sellers https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1396459082 i feel as though due to the pandemic has coughed a lot of stress for families. This pandemic took a lot away from everyone more from others. I honestly do believe that as seniors we missed out  on a lot which is not fair but we also can not control.  We all was looking forward to our senior year to be fun and full of activity but it was over before it even started. This pandemic took a lot but we'll all come back stronger.

I was looking forward to a smooth, chill year but corona had different plans. I feel like the worst part of this pandemic (other than the loss of opportunities, senior activities, etc) is the redundancy. Everyday is just another day and everyday is spent spending hours behind a screen like Sierra said. As a result, it’s easy to lose motivation but honestly I think graduation is the only thing that’s driving me right now. ]]> 2021-04-08 16:33:34 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1396711681 COVID response layshahernandez https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1397587597 The virus has hit everyone really hard & not only mentally, but also physically & just in general, COVID has affected all of us. Going back to Stephen´s statement below virtual learning, I definitely agree because it is really hard to stay motivated during the pandemic & sometimes you just don´t want to wake up or you just want to miss that one class. Also Sophia´s statement called my attention because it is true how all of us are not even answering to our teacher´s questions. I would that I try my best to answer questions & If I participated a few times, I allow other students to participate so they don´t feel left out. Also, the distractions are a reality like you can´t really concentrate in your house as much as when you are in school(I thought so) but now that we´ve experience it, it is very difficult to concentrate when all of your family members are at home. I feel like it is necessary to work as a team & to understand that even though the situation has been very hard, we can still manage to keep learning & keep ourselves motivated. ]]> 2021-04-08 20:07:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1397587597 Cashmere Wells cw192203 https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1397694021 I feel connected with everyone responses on the article in a way, I was happy to start a new chapter in my life when I came to the USA, I was starting everything new again, to make new friends and just start moving on with my life, to experience why USA was always hyped to up. I was think this pandemic was a way to have a more chill high school expiernce again. But now i just miss my life in London I felt connection with my friends and family. I sometimes feel as if am a burned on my American family because I was never connceted with them until I moved, it was honestly just being stressful to all families, I feel as if my life pasting me by. It the same everyday in and out.]]> 2021-04-08 20:46:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1397694021 Qua´liyah Brown https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1397995416 While reading each student response  it is clear that the virus hurt a lot of people in many ways .I honestly agree with everyone.  I feel like because we are senior It was a little more upsetting due to the fact that all our senior fun activities were taken away from us . During this crazy pandemic many people lost their family , friends and other important people they loved . Many people lost their homes and jobs making it really hard for them to provide for their families . This life crisis taught me alot though , it help me gain better knowledge it made me realize that you can not always take life for granted anything can happen .  It honestly feel like the world isn´t moving . I feel like we are doing the same thing everyday which is crazy an unfair . ]]> 2021-04-08 23:34:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1397995416 Claudel Voufo https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1398095766 I feel extremely connected to the people in this article. I really feel like Lisalove's point about arguing really hit close to home. I did not really argue with my family until this virus. I don't know if the time that we spend apart like work and school kept us together or the annoyance of the virus made things more heated for us.]]> 2021-04-09 00:28:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1398095766 Amor Sanders amorsanders https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1398474191 I feel connected with the response everyone gave. I strongly agree with cashmere about a new start and having to move on with life. I feel as though that is one biggest point. With covid this a change that everyone has to ajust and make the best of the this tough situtation.]]> 2021-04-09 03:01:33 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1398474191 Victory Nnaemeka https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1398552073 If I learnt anything from this pandemic it will be that I am not alone. I don't mean that I have a ton of people or so checking on me but I am really just trying to say that we all went through really tough times together, most of us were really depressed for months and managed to hide it from the people around us. Most of us suffered the death of a loved one and I just love how resilient we've become. In so many different ways we all have been affected by this pandemic, I feel really connected to all the speakers because in one way or the other I have also gone through the same things and it is honestly so sad that we have to deal with all of it at such young age, but if I learnt anything it will be how I took it upon myself to discipline myself and I see that in my classmates as well.]]> 2021-04-09 03:39:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1398552073 Anthea Bollers https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1398748901 My takeaways from the articles was how the pandemic didn’t not only affect my life in the way to unmotivated me but other students as well. Being brought up in schools all of our lives it was such an big adjustment to transfer to being in front of an computer. We weren’t learning or interesting the same. From the article, Nayvon stated how it was an challenge for him being physically around his teachers and classmates to then in front of an laptop. I agree with his statement because I have yet to bond with any of my new teachers for my senior year because of the fact that I have to interact virtually. I believe that the motivation from students and even teachers declined. ]]> 2021-04-09 05:42:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1398748901 Emalee cruz https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1398819358 i relates to everyone’s response in terms of how i feel deep down due to the pandemic . Not only has it hurt us physically but it hurts us emotionally and mentally too . Lots of seniors had high hopes in going to prom and being able to just say “ I finally did it !” and walk the stage . But due to the pandemic , no one is able to do that . It is frustrating and tiring to be on a computer all day & it isn’t fair that we had to spend our last year of high school this way . ]]> 2021-04-09 06:18:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1398819358 https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1399027172 I also agree with everyone on how the pandemic has made a really big impact on everything in life and because of this it has made adjusting to this life very difficult educational wise.]]> 2021-04-09 08:00:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1399027172 Amirah Moore https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1399965080 What I took away from the article was that the things i struggled with academically and mentally, other students have struggled with too. I was able to personally connect with class of 2020 now that I was able to experience my senior year being taken away from me. ]]> 2021-04-09 13:57:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1399965080 Ana Nunez Period 5 ananunez3 https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1400010009 I agree with everyone in this article. The pandemic has taken a toll on all of us students. One impact we all faced was school closures, it has also disrupted the daily routine and structure of students whether they were school activities etc. Without daily interaction with peers, friends students fail to build friendships. Even though we may have thought this year would be different, we have to thank God that we are well and alive, many people have died. ]]> 2021-04-09 14:07:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1400010009 Kimberly Baez https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1400126168 I agree with a lot of the things that were said in the article.having to complete our senior year online was never the plan so it makes it difficult for everyone to adjust to all the changes.senior year is the one year everyone expects to be the best but with the pandemic all of that excitement is gone.this pandemic has had a big toll on a lot of students mentally which then impacts their personal relationships with family and friends.all of these circumstances has made a lot of students feel unmotivated to continue joining their classes.]]> 2021-04-09 14:32:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1400126168 Aaronae Everson https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1400172148 I found myself relating to everything each participant mentioned. I realized how in a way we are all living the same life. Caught in this on going cycle where we wake up and are glued to the computer majority of the day with no way to get out of it without falling behind and ruining our future. Everyone has different stories on how COVID has affected their lives but we at least we didn’t go through it alone. This article helped me understand that I’m not alone in this situation. Other people know how hard it has been and maybe we can lean on each other for support. ]]> 2021-04-09 14:42:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1400172148 Mayah Durham https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1400482406 I agree because everybody wishes that things were back too the way it was before COVID hit. People with that they were back in school rather than being on a laptop all day staring at the screen. being on the laptop is difficult for students because there have too be on a laptop for a few hours. A lot of people expect their senior year too be fun but it actually has been hard for a lot of students.]]> 2021-04-09 15:51:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1400482406 https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1400548989 I agree because people are overwhelmed about the situation involving COVID, also people are tired of staying in their homes. ]]> 2021-04-09 16:05:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1400548989 My Response: shazzaewarren https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1400683431 Honestly I agree with everyone's responses on the chalk beat I feel like my senior year was ripped away from me I was so ready to be a senior have a prom just be a 12th grader in high school is the best thing but when I found out school was still online earlier of last year I was upset still am.I also experienced lost My grandmother my best friend she didn't have covid but she had something else ,and I was hurt for months and I've just started getting a little better but there's times where I would have a memory of her and get a little down .I also agree when people talked about there friends and teachers like some of my friends I haven't seen since last year when I was a junior that takes a toll on people too some of us still text but its not the same as in person but we all just have to be strong and get through this whole thing together.

Individuals wish that they were back in school instead of being on a pc throughout the day gazing at the screen. Being on the computer is hard for understudies in light of the fact that there have to be on a PC for a couple of hours. As many individuals expect their senior year also be fun however it really has been hard for a great deal of understudies.]]> 2021-04-09 16:56:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1400766394 Ryan Otchere https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1400891760 I agree with what everyone is saying because during the coronavirus and quarantine everybody lives has been running differently. Students have been taking care of our family while trying to pay attention in class. It's hard taking care of your younger ones when you can't keep it private by turning your camera off. On top of that students are sitting at a desk staring at a computer screen for seven plus hours and it can be tiring.]]> 2021-04-09 17:27:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1400891760 Jedidiah Oppong https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1400921980 I agree with what everyone had said. I believe that  the pandemic had made everyone life harder. For me, it hard doing virtual learning. I agree with Lisalove when she said "something might catch my attention and I’ll get distracted" Being home with my family distract me from learning. My little sister is also on zoom and my parent are always talking. Because of this pandemic, I can't go out and hang with my friends.]]> 2021-04-09 17:35:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1400921980 JAhnah Alfred https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401072279 while reading i notice one fellow classmate say that its became stressful not only to him but as well as his mom because since shes an essential worker she was in and out causing more fear and anxiety about covid and i really felt drawn to this comment because we don't realize the risk adults do for us in the pandemic we mainly focus on "when will i see my friends again" weather than what can i do to make sure everyone can see their friends soon]]> 2021-04-09 18:12:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401072279 Juan Rivera https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401709437 I agree with everyone because throughout this whole pandemic, this whole pandemic affected everyone’s mental health (mentally and physically). The pandemic ruined kids who go to school education in way of learning. Many people became stressed, depressed and lonely because of this pandemic and things will never go back the same to the way it was.]]> 2021-04-09 22:54:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401709437 Paulina Milfort https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401722727 After reading the article, I've noticed a theme about how everyone is feeling during this time of COVID, it's frustrated and tiring. It's not fun staying at home all the time, and on top of that, being responsible for piles of work that are due the next day. It's mentanlly exhausting trying to find motivation waking up in the morning and login to the computer. A comment that the student name Brianna made, that stood out to me was that everyday is the same. Being in the class room, things were unpredictable and you never knew what would happened. Even if it was something small like the school lunch suddenly changing, it was different. Now during COVID and me not being old enough to even take a walk in the park, every day just seem repeated. Now weekends that I used to adore is boring. Going back to school with only two months left just fills me wisth such anxiety that it freaks me out. Being a freshman and have yet to be in the building and knowing only a few people stresses me.]]> 2021-04-09 23:05:34 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401722727 marleenamckellar https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401740103 Reading the article I definitely saw myself in Nayvon & Lisalove stories. COVID has taken a toll on me mentally and physically, causing my depression to get extremely worse. Living the days the absolute same, watching me slowly give up in my classes, settling for the bare minimum, has put me in such a rut. Especially as a senior worrying has been on my mind non-stop and it has gotten to the point where I was having mental breakdowns every other week. Sitting at home, facing a computer screen trying to take school seriously has definitely caused me to spiral. So much so that even when going out I don't feel much, I've gotten so used to be at home that I never want to leave. It's sad because I really thought this year would be such a break through for me, but instead it has gotten harder and harder the closer I got to graduation. I just wish things could get better fast because I don't honestly know how much I can handle. ]]> 2021-04-09 23:19:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401740103 Likaya https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401849833 Reading this article , lead me to a rude awaken because you never know what people go through nor people mental emotions. However , I would complain so much to the point where I grew an pessimistic mindset for anything and everything... this pandemic has became life changing for many in different circumstances, waking up to online school caused me to become less motivated within even completing my high school year , I learned to cope but it doesn’t change the fact that my whole senior year was taken away and I experienced panic attacks , mental break downs at a young age.]]> 2021-04-10 01:09:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401849833 Sierra C https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401874126 While reading the article I realized that though life during COVID made us feel as if we were isolated and alone, we're actually more connected than we thought. It's no doubt that we all hoped senior year would take a different route. We all had plans of being together and making the most of our activities for our last year together but things went a different way. Instead we've all seemed to despise the many flaws attached to virtual learning, and essentially counting down the days until graduation just so all of it can be over. It's a common trend within not only me personally, but for my peers as well. Much like Nayvon mentioned, COVID has slowly picked us apart and made many of us lose motivation from doing the same thing everything. It's both mentally and physically exhausting from the work we have to do inside and outside virtual learning. And though we all feel alone different these difficult times, we're connected in the sense that we're experiencing similar things together.]]> 2021-04-10 01:35:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401874126 Sarah Francois https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401906146 While reading the article, I was really able to relate to a lot of things they were talking about. I understood exactly as they felt because all my life I've dreamed of what highschool would be like and how 8th grade graduation and dance would be like. We didn't even get to have a graduation nor dance in 8th grade. It was like the universe snatched it all away from me as punishment. I forgot how to actually interact with others and its pretty sad. I've lost all motivation. And being home all day doing the same thing affected my mental health alot too. Just more hours to overthink and have breakdowns in my room while trying to be ok around everyone else. I try so hard to get all my work done but sometimes I just can't. I just don't feel like doing anything at all. I never had an extreme over the top life to begin with and now that Covid happened I just slowly feel like i'm slipping away. I know some of the teachers actually really try to make class seem a little entertaining but it doesn't work.. at all! I feel like life will never be the same it was before and I guess I just have to accept it.]]> 2021-04-10 02:12:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401906146 Lisalove Atangana https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401920260 I definitely understand where all the other students are coming from like when Stephen felt like he was losing his skills in dancing and when Malayjah just wanted to give up on school because virtual learning is hard. I really felt bad for Sophia because she had to transition to a new school as a 9th grader and not be able to build those friendships early. If I were in her same shoes, My life would be kinda boring and miserable. The connections and friendships I have now wouldn't have been possible. But I am glad that we were all able to see the silver lining of this pandemic because life is full of twists and turns but it all comes down to how you mange them.]]> 2021-04-10 02:28:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401920260 Reading this article made me see different perspectives/ views from other students and how the effect of the pandemic have had a major impact on their lives. I realized that the pandemic destroyed not just the school year but especially 12th grader who were looking forward to having a normal senior year, prom, and graduation. We all had plans to spend more time with our friends and families but instead got stuck home everyday. Get up early in the morning log into into our laptops for like 8 hours everyday just staring at a screen and doing work. There was also the constant nagging and comment from teacher about camer's and being visible. I just feel like teacher's needs to be more understanding . Covid has ade huge chances toward our lives and caused half of the senior class to be uninspired and not motivated to get work done or even having an idea of going to college. I agree with Sierra when she stated; " It’s honestly not healthy at all. I don’t get away from my computer until 12 o’clock at night." and also when Nayvon stated; " There’s no relationships and bonds being built. So the connection and excitement for school isn’t the same." TBH my whole senior year was trash, I felt trapped in one space, I had a lot of mental breakdowns where i had to shut people out, distant myself from social media just to work on myself and push myself to get higher grades. At the end, I feel like looking back on it. It was worth it because it showed me a different side of me. A side in which i can look back on and see changes too. tamishabruce https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401924622 2021-04-10 02:33:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401924622 Justin Lozano https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401944479 COVID-19 and this pandemic has isolated me from the people I love and care for. I couldn't see my grandparents, my aunt, nor my cousins for months. This virus also left me terrified for my family as my grandparents are quite old and if they were to catch this virus, I wouldn't know how much longer I'll be with them. This hurt immensely as I knew that I could lose the people I love. Though working from home sounded nice at first, it quickly grew boring as I missed leaving my house everyday. Especially now that it’s spring and the weather is starting to clear up. I’m not able to do the things that I loved to do anymore.  ]]> 2021-04-10 02:56:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401944479 Curtis Avent https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401965598 I really resonate with the article specifically Breona and her losing the motivation to want to persue school or even do the bare minimum as to join a class. During quaritine the days have definetky blended into all of just one mashball. I hate things that are boring to me and cause disinterest, this causes me to disorientate from life and only participate in things I prefer. I would find myself joining class but not paying attention or falling asleep because of thd dry pattern of doing exstensive and boring work on zoom. The motivation to do work giving me the product of good gades were lost and I soon developed socopathic tendecies to alot of things school rleated as a result of zoom. ]]> 2021-04-10 03:21:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401965598 Ambar Abreu ambarabreu https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401976701 After reading this article i realized everyone has been going through a hard time even if they haven't showed it.One takeaway is that you can't judge others if you haven't been in their shoes,struggles happen even if their not in the light of everyone.I also agree with school not being a motivation anymore due to sitting all day in front of a computer as well a high expectations expected through all this stress.For example Lisalove stated that in spanish class we have to be in camera visible and it can't be escaped.I agree with her because i personally don't feel comfortable being in frame when i am already not motivated sitting for hours class after class.As the day goes on their is also stress after classes are over due to homework being due at certain times early in the morning.]]> 2021-04-10 03:35:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401976701 Duane https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1401979420 I feel strongly connected with the people responses especially Lisa’s.

I do feel like even amongst how we might feel about having to be inside all the time and not with friends we all changed for better or for worse. Everyone has realized who they're real friends because at school you saw each other everyday, but since you couldn't you seen who really calls you, checks up on you and etc. I saw in the article they talked about students not being as motivated after having to be inside for school and I completely agree because I just feel like it's harder for us to grasp everything being taught to us. Also, it's tempting just to go on your phone during class or just procrastinate and say you'll do things later. Losing sleep because you felt like you didn't get to do much in your day because of school. It causes you to not be so active during school, which causes grades to decline and it may be harder for you to get them back up. That's why I really appreciate the teachers for understanding what we're going through and trying to help us get through it as best as they can.

Some people use school to get out the house and see their  friends, or just to get out the house.  I can connect to this article because it does feel like everyday is the same. Wake up, go to school, do assignments, sleep, then repeat. I think because of Covid this school year has gone by faster than it should’ve had. It feels like last week we was just in Quarter 2 but in reality we are about to graduate in a few weeks. Most kids looked up to their first year of highschool because of what they were told or what they’ve saw in movies/shows. I feel bad for people who missed stuff important like end of the year school trips, proms, and seeing their friends. Next school year the school is going to open so imma just focus on that. The only difference is we’re going to be wearing masks, but I rather do that than miss my highschool experience fully.]]> 2021-04-10 06:39:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1402092997 Quaniyah Thomas https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1402593364 Covid has hit everybody differently because itś just like some people was still being their normal selves and some people just changed completely ...

It is really hard to stay motivated , and having to adjust to all this and missing the year of school i have looked forward to the most sucks. I personally haven't gone through half of what those who talked went through,ut i have had to face some of the mental issues that i have been  hiding  because of the workload and communicating with people that normal school brought about.

After the first month of online school, school felt real optional and I did not want to do anything. You can see this in my grades and worth ethic. I went from a honor roll student to having C's and F's. Not only did Covid-19 take away my love for school but it made me realize that not everyone is your friend.

I felt it when she said her mother lost her job because during the virus break out my mother could not return to work for months. I also would like to add on to some quotes I saw like when Sophia said the teachers don’t really ask why the cameras are off, I feel like it adds more stress to students and a lot of times strategies are being made but it’s not in the best interest of students and it’s not the most feasible to everyone. But student to student overall, I do understand where they are coming from to financials, schoolwork and home. ]]> 2021-04-12 03:18:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1405596107 Hismeiry Rodriguez https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1405612774 I agree with all of them because this pandemic has affected many of us mentally and economically. Being home all the time has affected me in a negative way because is not easy to be 24/7 without being outside or without seeing the people that I was used to seeing every day. Also it has affected many in a negative way because of the fear of going outside and getting affected by COVID-19.

I'm just blessed that I have tried to blend in with this new system that we have but my grades actually increased due to covid because I started to realize that this was my last year and colleges are looking at you so I needed to go all out, but it was a big challenge for me to be on a computer for hours and not miss a bunch of assignments. I just sometimes don't like how some teachers don't allow students to make-up some work that was past due , because they don't really know our pain that students go through. But I'm not going to sit here and act like it was easy to be home rather and school because its not , people homes are different from everyone else prior to lisa example she had to move from different motels I knew that was a challenge for her and to go to virtual school and I hope she is okay right now. But people is out here struggling and people need to realize that !! Prior to what lisa stated,"  We were spending months in motels trying to look for homes.

If we did realize it, the burden of the pandemic would not have been so great because we would have strengthen each other. Since this is something new, no one knows how to address the  loneliness or depression and it is in these times where we isolate ourselves. If everyone just got up on day without the mindset of feeling hopeless, the world would be better.

During this pandemic many people have lost many things whether it’s family members, jobs, homes, we all have our own story during these times. This article was more personal because one the participants were vulnerable and letting us in to their lives and also it’s the stories of people we know or even people we have on social media which really connects us. Reading the perspective of the 9th grader who started high school virtual made me realize some students really went into this school year blind. These stories really helped me understand that recovering from this hard time we experienced will be different and harder for everyone.

This is a situation that seems to be tragic because what´s the point of being back if we don´t know where we are.

There’s always a constant need of reassurance and a fear in the uncertainty. Relationships are broken and some are bonded even stronger than before but I know from experience that a relationship is best when there’s time alone; time away because that yearn for love and companion grows and the expression of gratitude strengthens to a level that you never thought you could get to with that special someone. Active in person school is also important for kids like myself who have focusing issues because looking at a screen doesn’t get my attention especially when I’m home and there’s other things that I consider entertaining. The pandemic will forever have an affect on the lives of everyone and won’t be forgotten; because this is the time that tore people apart but also gave us an even greater reason to rise up and unite greater and stronger than ever before.

After reading the article the main takeaway was that the pandemic has had an enormous effect on teens . The one teen who was an freshmen didn"t even get the oppurtunity to see what her high school looks like which she felt socially was an bad start. The other student was at home and became lazy and his grade started to decline . This goes to show that most students need an professional work environment in order to stay on track in school.

The virtual setting has drastically affected many and maybe only slightly affected some but we've all been impacted by this transition. It has been hard and I completely agree with the benefits and disadvantages that the students featured in this article included. Isolation and lacking social interaction can be mentally and emotionally harmful for many but it can also be used as a time for one to find themselves and grow as a person. School at home can also be very challenging when they are vivid distractions and home responsibilities that many, especially as older siblings. Personally, I haven't lost any family members due to Covid but I do empathize with people like Brianna who have because that can be traumatizing to deal with the times we are in.      ]]> 2021-06-01 00:37:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sd3914/crfn8on065c60kh0/wish/1574690953
