Journal entry number 1:
It’s Friday the 5th day of completing home learning. Home learning is much different than regular school, waking up everyday to check into advisory through our iPads is something very odd to me. The whole thing will feel more comfortable as we do it more. The school work is definitely a lot less work through home learning as teachers have to account for the other work students get. Quite frankly the weirdest part of this whole thing to me is the way people are acting in my community. From my point of view it seems as if nothing has changed other than kids are not attending school. I live on Sheridan road which is one of the most populated streets with bikers, runners, and even cars and the activity of people has not decreased. So this makes me wonder, to what extent are people taking this as serious as it is. Do people know the effects of this Covid-19 virus?
In some parts of this world this virus has caused entire country’s to go on shutdown but here in our community people are still out and about living a normal life. The government has taken serious action by closing all restaurants for dine in. This virus is having an affect on every single person in the world in some way shape or form. Personally this virus has had a devastating effect on me, my hockey team was in the semifinals for the state playoffs, only one more game to win and we would be playing in the state championship in front of 10,000 fans at the United Center. But with this virus they cancelled the remaining two games leaving everyone in shock. Why should we let this virus take such a toll on our lives. This has been my dream since I was a young kid, and now this virus will cancel my hockey games and maybe cancel my entire baseball season. And the worst part of it all is I’m stuck in my house left hopeless unable to do anything about it. In the wise words of my hockey coach, “In life there are some things you can control and this is something that you can't control. It sucks but we cant do anything about it”. That is definitely the most upsetting thing is there truly is nothing we can do about it. So what's next for us?
