Gathering as a family has been extremely hard over the last year as the country has dealt with Covid. Not being able to hang out as a family and go over my grandma's house as often has taken some of the joy away from this year. Zoom has been really helpful for my family to stay connected. Especially with me being in college this year and away from home. Family has been super important getting through this pandemic. If I ever feel like I am losing out on different opportunities, I always know that no matter what I have my family. These times can be stressful especially with school bearing down on me and having to keep up with assignments. I always have my family to help relieve my stress.
