My Pandemic Experience

Written by Charlie Ryno

Teacher: Amy York, 8th Grade
Mitchell School

One of the harshest things in the Covid 19 pandemic fo me was not being able to see my friends. When school and sports shut down I was bummed, because those were the two events I saw my friends at the most. When the pandemic was really bad I could only see my friends on Zoom. Once school opened again my family got Covid. That meant I had to stay home from my friends and they also had to quarantine, because they were around me.

I have learned a lot from Covid for example, I know what it feels like to have a pandemic going through the world. I also know that scientists have learned a lot as well.
