Living with Learning from Home

By Ian Bogardus

During this tough time I have found that distance learning is not for me. I find it harder to drive myself to do my work.

In some classes, I have to teach myself how to do the work, which is fine, but due to all of the other stimulation around me, I just cannot focus. I have even tried to set time aside to do my work and try to focus just on schoolwork, but my ADHD makes it so hard.

I am in the midst of trying different medications to help myself out, and to better my focus, but they are not working so far. I hope that I am able to reel myself in to complete all of this work. I do not want to fail my senior year, especially when I am not even there.

Although I wish things could have gone differently, I realize that this is the situation I am in and that I have to accept it.
