A letter from June 12th, 2020

23 sherwood drive East Islip, New York, 11730 6/12/20 Dear my future family, Corona Virus is changing the world as we know it. The econemy dropped, the stock market crash and a lot of people lost their job. Everyone one has to wear a mask, and social distance at least 6 feet away from eachother. Everyone is scared. This pandemic effected me a lot. I couldn’t do anything I would normally do and that led me to find other hobbies and passtimes. I couldn’t ride my bike or go out with friends, which I would normally be doing. The worst change for me was the switch to online school. My grades dropped from mid-90s and high 80s to mid 70s and 50s. Ive learned that I can only do something well when I have a schedule, which I no loner have due to online schooling. I also wasn’t allowed to see my grandparents or my great grandmother, so I missed them a lot. I hope a lot comes out of this pandemic. Like safer and cleaner public areas, or an earlier released plan for schools if this ever happens again. Best regards, Jason Shields
