‘My Quarantine Experience and Thoughts’By Rylie Hogan, Grade 8
My life has been flipped upside down. Coronavirus needs to go. School is online. My sports are canceled, And to make matters worse, I lost a good portion of my eighth-grade year. With everything negative going on, I try to find an activity other than school to do. It is so hard to be in the house constantly, And finding a new activity to keep you busy is even harder. But on an everyday basis, I am on my phone. I try to listen to music in the mornings to get me pumped. I walk around my neighborhood. I play basketball in my driveway And Facetime my friends and family. Those are just some everyday activities That get me in a positive mood. Hopefully, life is back to normal by the summer. The days go by so much faster and I miss everyone. All we can do is stay inside and pray. I feel for everyone that is struggling, And this has been hard on all of us. But it will end soon, And life will be so much better After this is resolved. |
‘Quarantine Thoughts’By Eva Warren, Grade 8
Quietly praying for those affected by Coronavirus. Unable to visit loved ones. All school and sports are canceled. Reflecting on our past actions. Awaiting the end of this pandemic. Never forget this devastating time. Talking to friends over the phone. It’s not the same seeing friends on a screen. Never thought I would miss school. Everlasting patience and hope. Dreaming of the better days in the future. ‘Coronavirus’
By Ryan Tighe ,Grade 8
We can not go anywhere During this corona time, Not even the park. It feels like a crime. All you can hear is the neighbor’s dog bark. It feels like I’m living off my own grime. The coronavirus will make its mark. This is definitely not earth’s prime. All we know is Trump’s remark. People are surviving off a nickel and a dime. We have to find the light that’s hidden in the dark. |
