Covid 19 Reflection

These past few weeks have gone by slower than I ever could have imagined. I do the same thing every day. And everyday repeats itself seven times to make one week. And then that week turns into a month. It’s as if I'm living in a boring movie that is on repeat. Thursday March 12th was the last day of school for the 2019-2020 school year. To us it seemed like a two week vacation. But little did we know that Thursday afternoon was just the beginning of a journey no one wanted to take. Although we still have online school, it’s not the same. Athletes lost their spring season. Seniors lost their prom and graduation. I wonder how that Thursday would have been different, if we knew we wouldn't go back. Students would have said goodbye to teachers and seniors, textbooks would be returned, and lockers cleaned out. The hallways would be flooded with emotions. Some kids cheering, some kids crying. The class of 2020 continues to ask themself why. Why them? Why this year? No one can answer that except God.
