Cyber School Update

Today is Friday, March 20th, our 5th day of cyber school. When we first found about cyber school, I had no idea what to expect of it, and most teachers didn't either. On Monday, we had our first day of online school. it wasn't as bad I had thought, but further into the week, it got a little harder. The first 2 days, it wasn't really anything new, more just picking up where we left off the previous week. By Wednesday, gears shifted and we had to learn new things. It is harder to do online school when it comes to learning new things in classes like Math or a language. I have started to figure out ways that I learn best in these times as well. Doing cyber school has pros and cons. A pro that I have seen throughout the week is that I can do my work at my own pace and make sure that I understand what I am doing, without worrying about the teacher maybe teaching it too fast. One con to this is that there is no face to face conversations or questions. Yes you can chat with a teacher, but it is way different when it is personally face to face in a classroom, at school. I think everyone can probably agree that for some reason, we complained about being in school, but now that we are home, all we want is to go back to school and yes, this is going to take some adjusting, but I think we will all get through it just fine.

I think we can all agree that cyber school is taking a lot out of us and we are being challenged I na way that none of us are used to. It hard to go from sitting at a desk in a class room with 20 other kids, asking questions, talking to a teacher about problems, to being at home having to learn online and without the face to face help. I agree that the workload right now is a lot more than expected and even for teachers, this workload of providing ALL of the information to students has increased swell. And on top of that, teachers still have to figure out ways to answer questions throughs screens and give quizzes and tests. While we are doing this online learning, I do think that it seems 'easier' to maybe cheat on a quiz or plagiarize, and some students have definitely been using that to their advantage. Being in a situation like this does seem to be affecting and changing the ways of some people. I have been slacking off a little at some points throughs the past few weeks, bu

Dear Future Self

Dear 50-year-old self,             As I’m writing this, it is Tuesday June 2 nd , 2020 and I am 15 years old. I turn 16 this year, and it’s crazy to think about how much I’ve been through and witnessed these past years. This year has been filled with so much sadness and suffering and it’s hard to wrap my head around what is happening all around me. Last summer, the summer before freshmen year, one of the best summers I’ve had in a while is when everything completely changed. It is the last week of school and I will officially be through with my first year of high school, it feels like just yesterday I was in 8 th  grade, sitting at my desk thinking, wow, I’m going to be in high school next year. This year has definitely been one that I will never forget. 2020 is halfway over and it isn’t exactly going how I hoped. On March 11 th , COVID-19 (Corona Virus) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Everything escalated quickly from there. On March 13 th , we were le
