Something I haven’t liked during this period of Covid-19 is that I haven’t been able to spend time with my family and friends it was a challenge as I’m Italian and whenever we gather with people we kiss them and hug them automatically, but of course we have to follow the social distancing rules. This year’s celebrations are a little bit different as we are not aloud to gather with other people so Easter, Mother’s Day and other celebrations were very quite. But something I’ve loved during this time is that it’s getting me ready for high school, I have also been able to spend more time with my family and I have been able to go through my work faster.

I’m looking forward to when the restrictions ease as I can see my friends and family. At this point in time I feel a little bit captured and I felt like the world was going to end, when thousands of people were dying due to the Corona Virus. I thought 2020 would have been a great year but it has started worse than I thought it would have. I wasn’t even able to see my grandparents but now I can only see my nonna as my other grandparents live in a nursing home so only people over 16 can see them so they are not very happy that they can’t see their grandchildren. I can’t wait till we can live a normal life this is basically the new normal for us. Our school was only open for those parents kids who were essential. I have missed being able to socialise. This experience will go down into history and we will be able to tell our kids when we are older and say this is what happened...
