Confusion, uncertainty, and relaxation. Those are the words I would use to describe my life in quarantine. They might sound a little chaotic because of how different they are from each other but I can’t find any other words that describe it so accurately. Confusion and uncertainty are the most similar of the words in the trio and I would say politics and school are the things I would use these words to describe. To start off, the world is dividing over controversial topics such as the election that is coming up in November. It makes me nervous because I know there will be havoc when the time comes due to so many opposing opinions. School is another aspect in my life that connects to the two words I have used. I overcame the challenge of transitioning from middle to high school last year and having a heavier load of homework. A new challenge has risen in time for my second year of high school; it would be that of an even heavier workload, online school, being communicative with teachers, and maintaining grades I am comfortable with. Having AP classes and other fast-paced classes is a big challenge especially with all the things that are running through my head like what is going on around the world other than the election. Lastly, there is a part of me that is also very happy about quarantine. I love that I get to start school at 8:30(I finally get enough sleep!!), I can be in my PJs all day, I have awesome teachers that are also willing to help me have strong mental health, I’ve met a lot of new people in the breakout rooms on Zoom and I have had a good experience other than a couple of kids who were completely rude. I will not let them ruin my day, though. This quarantine has been a great experience for me, personally, because I have learned a lot of new things about myself and having a grateful heart. I am so glad I am experiencing this; I feel so lucky that I have lived like this at one point in my life. Throughout this whole process, I have realized that everything(especially negative things) could also be a learning experience as well as a new perspective on life.
