Experience in Quarantine
By: Antonio Lebron, Grade 7
Being in quarantine absolutely stinks. At first I was like “2 weeks from school? Sweet! A
nice little vacation.” But now that it’s been a couple months and I heard that we weren’t going to go
back to school for the rest of the year... I’ve honestly never wanted to go back to school more.
It just feels like I’m going insane, being trapped within a house 24/7 for at least a couple more months.
I miss school, miss hanging out with my friends, getting in trouble running through the halls. Just all the
normal stuff I used to the do while I was in school. Now being home it’s just video games and work and
more video games and more work, rinse and repeat. Got very boring, very quickly. I’ve been a lot more
stressed lately, teachers just continuing to throw work at us multiple times a week. I’m also very worried
because I’m not in contact with every one of my friends like I used to be in school. So I’m not sure
what’s happening, or if they’re ok or anything like that.
Corona is most likely the worst thing that has ever happened to me. Just knowing that without
this I could be in school having fun, talking to my friends, meeting up with people that aren’t in my state.
It’s honestly just heart wrenching. Like I love my family to death and I’d do anything for them, but honestly
if I have to spend another month with them and just them. I might just lose it.
