March 2020 was when I started worrying about the covid pandemic. Some time around March 22, we had to shelter in place. I was with my dad, my stepmom, and my little siblings from that time until June 24, 2020. Stores and restaurants were shutting down and people were losing their jobs. I was not able to go out to dinner or hang out with any of my friends. I was really sad about it. In April, stores and restaurants reopened, bringing the cases back up when the curve was flattened. People had to wear masks and practice social distancing. I was worried that the pandemic might go on forever.
In April, May, and June 2020, I played with my little siblings. I also went on walks with them and my stepmom. I also watched YouTube videos. On June 25, 2020, I went back with my biological mom and my younger brother. To keep working out, I took walks around the neighborhood and I walked to a lake near my house. I also watched more YouTube videos. I almost didn’t get to do any swimming that summer, but on August 1, we went to Lake Lanier where there was a little beach area. I was supposed to start college around September 2020, but my mom said it was too dangerous due to covid. I really wanted to meet up with my extended family for Thanksgiving, but the covid cases were too high. I also hoped to meet up with my cousins, my uncles, and my grandmother for Christmas, but it wasn’t safe. When 2021 began, I had the feeling that things would get better, but that will be discussed in my next blog.
