School 2020; a whole new experience!

BY MAKAYLA B. – 12 YEARS OLD

“The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth”  John Fitzgerald Kennedy

We all know that school will be very different from before COVID-19, and that it will bring many new opportunities and different experiences.

I know that being home schooled will be very different for me because I was always going to school in person, so it’s going to be very new and different for me and will be like exploring foreign lands.

I was very excited to be starting school again even if it meant that I wouldn’t be going to school physically, and that I would only be in a class with a few friends or kids from other classes I was in.

Considering that not many of my friends will be in the same class as me, except maybe one or two of my friends, if I need help not many people will be able to explain something in a way I will understand.  I will have to ask quite a few questions from some of the other kids in my class in order to get a fraction of the help that I need. By being in a class surrounded by kids I don’t know, I will have a harder time explaining things to them if they need some assistance with the assignment.

All in all, apart from being in a class with some kids I don’t know, I am really excited to start school and see some of my friends again.
