The COVID-19 has affected us all tremendously, including oursleves the students. Some who wanted to strive in their spring sports, live out their last high school year and be able to walk across the stage and say that they finally did it, all the hours of homework, the football games, the dances, the tests, procrasination, drama and time they put was worth it. But on March 13, a friday little did we know that in Garden Grove, our whole community would change tremendously. As the days passed by, we were being transmitted to more online work, more restrictions, more work, and take more precautions. At first, as being a student myself, I was not worried about it at all and was happy at the fact that we were not going to school for two weeks. But two weeks turned into a month, then 2 months, and until the end of the school year. As a Junior in high schoolm that changed my academic life more. I was not able to take the SAT, i was not able to take my AP exam in school, finish junior year. This whole pandemic has shaped now the way we look at life, and let us see the things that we so call hate like school , is something that connects us to peers and gives us a better opportunity at learning the material.
