We had gone to Italy and seen Rome, Florence, and Venice the year before. Last year we were planning on going to London and Paris for spring break. However, we had to cancel our trip because everything got shut down and travel to other countries was banned. ]]> 2021-04-29 18:01:36 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1475187531 pl2414611_13 https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1475236307 This school year was interesting. I was still getting used to constantly wearing masks and social distancing when in big groups of people. The school took many precautions to keep the students safe. Only four people were allowed to sit at a table that normally holds eight people. There were hand sanitizer stations everywhere, and students were only allowed to walk in a certain direction in order to get to class. This was annoying because it took much longer to get to certain classes than it would if there weren’t arrows showing which way to go. My close friends were all online for the first semester so I was put in a weird friend situation with girls and people that I wasn’t close with and didn’t really like. I also couldn’t play volleyball this year because of all of the Covid-19 regulations. ]]> 2021-04-29 18:10:42 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1475236307 pl2414611_13 https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1475246642 Everyone was ready for the year 2020 to come to an end. So many different and crazy things happened in one year. For example, there was of course, the pandemic, then “killer bees” came to the U.S, and then Kobe Bryant and his daughter died in a helicopter accident. Additionally, once schools moved to online learning, a lot of the students were slacking off and it was very hard to get used to. People had to quarantine and stay inside all day with their families. This was surprisingly difficult. I have never been so bored in my life. My days felt long, but luckily I had Netflix to keep me busy. At the end of 2020 everyone was exhausted and was ready for a new and better year.]]> 2021-04-29 18:12:44 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1475246642 pl2414611_13 https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1486543652 I was shocked to find out that Prince Harry and his wife Megan Markle decided to quit the royal family. I still cannot understand why they would decide to leave. ]]> 2021-05-03 17:56:01 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1486543652 pl2414611_13 https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1486561998 Chadwick Boseman died in 2020 due to cancer. He kept the fact that he had cancer a secret from most people and everyone was heartbroken and shocked when they learned about his passing. He starred in the Marvel movie Black Panther, which was loved by millions of people. ]]> 2021-05-03 17:59:39 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1486561998 pl2414611_13 https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1506997910 Another terrible thing that happened in 2020 was the Australian bushfires. The wildfires stormed through Australia burning everything in its path. All of the forests we’re destroyed and the poor animals had no where to go. Luckily the fires stopped after a while and everything went back to normal and people started to try and rebuild the forests. ]]> 2021-05-09 21:24:01 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1506997910 pl2414611_13 https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1507017455 Over the summer my cousins convinced me to watch Avatar The Last Airbender. This is an animated show about a war-torn world of elemental magic. The main character is a twelve year old boy named Aang. He reawakens to undertake a dangerous mystic quest to fulfill his destiny as the Avatar, and bring peace to the world. The world is divided into four elemental nations: The Northern and Southern Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation, and the Air Nomads. It shows the adventures Aang and his friends go on in order to bring peace to the world and stop the war. Overall I thought this show was very good and although it is not anime, it got me hooked on anime and that is all that I watch now. ]]> 2021-05-09 21:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1507017455 pl2414611_13 https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1507022803 A few months ago I watched the movie A Silent Voice, for the first time. I rate this movie a 10/10 it is an animated movie and the animation was absolutely incredible. It was a heart touching movie and it is definitely one of my favorites. The movie is about how a 12 year old boy, Shoya, bullies a 12 years old girl, Shoko, who has a hearing disability. Once their older and in high school, Shoya confronts Shoko to make amends with her. This movie was amazing, it is based on a true story and it is very sad. I was sobbing at the end of the movie. ]]> 2021-05-09 21:49:57 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1507022803 pl2414611_13 https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1507028264 At the very beginning of quarantine, the app Tik Tok started a trend which made people believe that there was going to be a WWIII. Fortunately this was not the case, people just thought it would be a funny joke, however it did worry some people, like me. ]]> 2021-05-09 21:55:30 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1507028264 pl2414611_13 https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1507126023 Q: What changed in your day to day life when Covid-19 happened?
A: The biggest change was when you and your sister were home from school everyday. Although I already work from home, it was harder for me to get my work done when both of you were in the house the entire time. I workout a lot, so I couldn’t go to the gym everyday. That was a little stressful so I started working out at home, but it always felt a little different. 
Q: Is there anything that happened because of Covid-19 that you are glad happened? 
A: Since quarantine forced us to all stay home we had a lot of family time. Living in the same neighborhood as your cousins and your grandparents made quarantine more fun, and we all got to hang out more often. I’m glad that we all got to have that time together. We were playing pickle ball in the front yard and then getting food for dinner. Overall we were very lucky to be able to have that time with the family, and we all had a lot of fun. ]]> 2021-05-09 23:34:43 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1507126023 pl2414611_13 https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1507131682 Q: What did Covid-19 change in your day to day life?
A: The only big thing that changed was that I had to do online school. It was very easy because I only had to do packets of work and I only had a zoom class a few times a week for 20 minutes. It was weird because I couldn’t see any of my friends and I missed playing with them and seeing them at school. I also played a lot of Roblox in quarantine and I became really close with one of my best friends. 
Q: Is there anything that happened because of Covid-19 that you’re glad happened? 
A: I’m glad that I became close with my friend CJ. Since we had online school and we couldn’t go anywhere, we played Roblox together and we had a lot of fun. Then we started to face-time everyday for hours. He is one of my best friends and I’m so glad that we became close. ]]> 2021-05-09 23:39:26 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1507131682 pl2414611_13 https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1507139105 I find this meme very funny because this is truly how 2020 went. At the beginning, everyone was excited for the new year and new beginnings. But only a few months in, everyone was ready for it to be over. This year brought many ups and downs. By the end of the year everyone was ready to forget about 2020 and start over.  ]]> 2021-05-09 23:45:01 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1507139105 pl2414611_13 https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1507145737 I am so excited for summer. This school year is finally coming to an end and I could not be any happier. Im looking forward to being able to sleep in and having no school expectations that I need to meet. I am going to Lake George for the summer, my grandparents own a house there and my entire family will be there. We always have a blast. I also want to go to the beach and get a much needed tan. ]]> 2021-05-09 23:49:37 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1507145737 pl2414611_13 https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1507151229 In June there is a huge volleyball tournament that every volleyball team across the country goes to. It is called Nationals, and it is in Orlando. For the past few months, I have been getting in as much practice as I can before the tournament. My team and I are very excited to go to Nationals. We are all working very hard in order to stay in shape and become more consistent overall. ]]> 2021-05-09 23:53:31 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1507151229 pl2414611_13 https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1507165461 Ever since quarantine, my family and I have become a lot closer. We all try to get together once every few months, but I see them practically everyday. This is because my grandparents and my uncle and his family live in the same neighborhood as I do. My mom walks my dog with my grandma every morning, and since I am currently doing online school I see my grandpa almost everyday because he comes over my house to fix things. My younger cousins are also here almost every weekend and they love playing with my sister. I am so grateful that I have a big family and that we are all so close. I have learned a lot from them and they have all been great influences on my cousins and I. ]]> 2021-05-10 00:02:18 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1507165461 pl2414611_13 https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1507192165 Recently everyone on Tik Tok has become obsessed with crystals. I am also one of those people. I currently have a lot of crystals and I am obsessed with them. I find them so interesting because they each have different healing properties and they can do different things for you. I have a bunch sitting on my desk and on shelves around my room and they add a lot of color and personality to my room. ]]> 2021-05-10 00:17:53 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1507192165 pl2414611_13 https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1507208693 I love the Back To The Future movies. I love watching them with my mom and sister. We enjoy these movies a lot and we have seen each one several times. This is exactly what I can picture a time traveler saying to someone else because the year 2020 was a train wreck. ]]> 2021-05-10 00:26:03 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1507208693 pl2414611_13 https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1507389978 2021-05-10 01:46:11 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2414611_13/ws85wy8boj79osj0/wish/1507389978
