February 2020 was the last month before everything would change. Then, I went to comfortably to school, played with my friends, went to public places, and much more. I remember thinking about how much I used to dislike going to school and classes but now, I would give anything to go back there. Toward the end of that month, news was spreading about a new virus going around and I never thought much about it.

In March, the virus began rapidly spreading and businesses and schools began to close. This included mine. It was exciting to begin a new experience at first but I hope I can go back and make more memories at school.
