It was in February of 2020 and that's when things started to change. It was a morning, I don't remember the exact day, but I was watching the news and I heard that resturants, stores, and almost everything was closing in China due to a virus that was rapidly spreading. It was chaos, airports were closing and no one was allowed into the USA from China. Later on in March, the virus started spreading here in the USA too. Schools had informed us that we would close for a week and then we'd most likely return after that. Meanwhile, grocery store shelves were close to empty and toilet paper was gone, no one could find any. Then, my parents got a call from my school saying that we weren't going to go back to school for a month or so, but eventually we never returned for the rest of the year. It was a hard ajustment. Currently, it is December of 2020 and we still don't know when we will go back to school or even when this virus will be gone for good.
