Journal #2

When the whole covid thing started, I was still in my senior year. I miss what most
students miss, friends, free time and above all sharing the last years of an important time
with loved ones, unfortunately, I couldn’t value these last moments and the year went
by quickly.

In my high school we had the interesting tradition of performing fireworks in the last
months of the school year, this was very special since all the family and friends gathered
to sing and hug each other as a united group. This was replaced by virtuality, the
essence was still standing, but it was not the same. It would have been a new and
beautiful experience.

I’m very grateful to my high school for the six years, for giving me very good friends,
every minute was worth it.
