Isolation was extremely challenging for me. I know everyone else is struggling because this is a new thing for all of us, but I feel like this isolation has hit me harder than others.

Everyday was just really stressful for me and I felt like I was slowly breaking down. I thought there weren't any options when I was behind on work and I was never going to catch up. I actually thought that maybe if I dropped out or worse that I would be free from all this stress, but it just put more pressure on me. Is my future ruined? Am I going to be able to get into a university?

I was always arguing with myself whether I would become a total failure or if there was another opportunity for me to redeem myself. The first day of school back, I started crying because of all the pressure and stress I was under. I'm so glad I don't have to feel that pressure anymore.

The teachers were very understanding and I had the courage to go to class. I'm so happy that the teachers understand how stressful this isolation is for others like me and I'm glad they were able to calm me down just before I went to class otherwise I would have been a mess.
