I am the oldest of 3 sisters and I have to set a good example to them by helping my mom all the time and help take care of my 2 year old sister which isn't easy but I am not saying that I do all the work , I can't complain and I am thankful for my mom she does the majority of the work and takes care of us. mha2781 https://padlet.com/mha2781/xel1vuv0l3k937ae/wish/2098157806 2022-03-16 14:27:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mha2781/xel1vuv0l3k937ae/wish/2098157806 if I don't start making progress its only going to get harder since I want to be an orthodontist and to be able to achieve that I have to get accepted into a dentist school after my bachelor's degree. mha2781 https://padlet.com/mha2781/xel1vuv0l3k937ae/wish/2098166349 2022-03-16 14:30:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mha2781/xel1vuv0l3k937ae/wish/2098166349 I came to the united states in January 2018 and I was plating a sport in my country, when my family situated our life here and I started to get used to the school system here and getting involved in activities I wanted to continue the same sport but Covid hit and my mom said that its better if I stayed home mha2781 https://padlet.com/mha2781/xel1vuv0l3k937ae/wish/2098187246 2022-03-16 14:40:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mha2781/xel1vuv0l3k937ae/wish/2098187246 we went out only if it was necessary, but I am lucky that I have a job it gave me a break from the craziness of being at home all the time mha2781 https://padlet.com/mha2781/xel1vuv0l3k937ae/wish/2098191223 2022-03-16 14:42:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mha2781/xel1vuv0l3k937ae/wish/2098191223 my youngest sister was born in September 2019 and when the pandemic started we were at home all the time and with no outside contact my sister became afraid of everything and anything when we do go out. mha2781 https://padlet.com/mha2781/xel1vuv0l3k937ae/wish/2098198583 2022-03-16 14:45:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mha2781/xel1vuv0l3k937ae/wish/2098198583 this is my second semester in college so i don't know if there was any virtual classes before the pandemic but i hope they keep it because some classes is better though zoom mha2781 https://padlet.com/mha2781/xel1vuv0l3k937ae/wish/2098210458 2022-03-16 14:50:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mha2781/xel1vuv0l3k937ae/wish/2098210458 having people cleaning surfaces continuously after the pandemic ends will cause people to get sick less often mha2781 https://padlet.com/mha2781/xel1vuv0l3k937ae/wish/2098213611 2022-03-16 14:52:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mha2781/xel1vuv0l3k937ae/wish/2098213611
