Making History

The hardest part of this pandemic is not being about to spend my senior year with my fellow classmates. Covid-19 has changed a lot of different things for all of us seniors. For example, being unable to watch sports and having to watch it all online.

having to wear masks at school

doing all the work on line and haveing yor work posted in ten diffrent places.

The inability to group together with friends.

the hardest part is not being able to spend time with friends. usually they are there for you when you need help. some people were all virtual and not being allowed in the lunch room wasnt fun.

The hardest part of having a pandemic in our senior year is just being separated from our friends because some kids are still fully virtual. It sucks that we don't get to be with our classmates everyday like we used to for the last few years. It also stinks that we don't get a senior trip or senior skip day like everyone else in the past has been able to have.

My year was tough because of the lack of social interaction. I think without it has made this year weird. I fell somewhat robbed of my senior year.

The hardest part about being a senior during Covid-19 is not being able to truly enjoy being a senior because there wasn't much stuff you could do. For example, we were not allowed to have dances at school and there aren't any clubs this year. Also, another hard part was wearing masks all day because it gets hot.

I was limited to what I was able to do.

Hardest part of being a senior is the keeping my grades up. Ive been keeping my foot in the door as a matter of speaking. just trying to work while at home with no internet is tough enough.

probably stabilizing my mental health and trying to stay on track with academics.when covid hit it was a wave of emotions at first it was a 2 week quarantine every one thought it was a 2 week vacation and then in the following days the governor shut down the schools for the rest of the year

Not being able to do the things so many seniors in the past have. As in a normal prom or homecoming. Also not having all the family have be able to watch you graduate.

Adjusting to the virtual school stuff or turning assignments in on time

watching football homecoming dances

not knowing anyone becuse im new. the second would be all the work and thats about it. the last thing would be its not alot of people here.

Virtual school was definitely the hardest. So bored and unmotivated all the time. It honestly really sucked.

I think the hardest part of being a senior during the pandemic is not being able to do traditions. We have a lot of traditions in band and we were only able to do a couple of them because we had to social distance and eat at different ends of the tables. Some of the traditions we were only able to do them halfway.

I think the hardest part of being a senior during COVID, was probably coming to school physically and maintaining good grades. At the beginning of the year, I was unable to go to school, resulting in failing grades. When I was able to come back to school, they started going up again.

The hardest part for me was related to sports. I hated not having my grandfather at all my games. I have four siblings and they couldn't even come to watch me play. I didn't always understand this because it was football and we were outside.

I didnt get to drive myself to school

Not being able to have a full football season and do the normal things before and after the games. And having to wear a mask every day.

I think just keeping up with school work. Like being a virtual student has definitely messed with my work ethic more than I would like to admit. Plus like I get to see the friends I was around the most anyway because of Tech Center but there are some people that I was friends with that I haven't seen since it all started

The hardest part being a senior was not being in school a lot at the beginner of the year. Missing opportunities in the high school and especially the tech center. Being behind from being kicked out last year pushed everything back by months.

The hardest part was trying to stay motivated. When we were at home half the time I never wanted to do work. Once we went back to school, school work was easier.

The hardest part about being a senior during Covid-19 is not getting to experience the same senior year everyone else has in the past. We didn't get a lot of the moments and memories former students at Giles got. It was very hard at first not being able to see everyone like we used too.

not having a normal school year and always having to wear a mask

The hardest part for me was not getting to experience senior activities. Although its not safe for everyone to be at the games, school it would still be nice to experience things like most senior classes do. things have been messed up for us but we've figured it out.

The hardest part for me is finding ways to motivate myself to do the work on my own. I also hate the mask. I also wish more of the old school food options could have been available.

I ended up becoming very depressed which caused me to become lazy. It took me months to even want to get out of the bed. I missed seeing my friends at school. It made it even harder to want to do school work. I hate that this happened in my Senior year.

Not being able to experience a real senior year...

The hardest part would have to be being 100% virtual. After going to school for 2 weeks I caught COVID. With my family already having to be quarantined 3 times in the past they took all kids outta school to keep from having to miss any more work.

I think the hardest part was not being able to see my friends and interact with people. I also think it was hard because I was not able to fully learn as much due to being all virtual.

Well during the covid-19 it was the hardest for me. I just worked on my school stuff and turned it all in. I made sure my stuff was on time so it wasn't gonna be late.

The hardest part about covid during the senior year was the restrictions. For prom and graduation things have to have a certain number of people and then it’s cut off. Its going to be hard choosing people for tickets to things I’d like everyone to go to.

wearing a mask was a big thing for me i kept forgetting to bring one or i eas being told to pull it up over my face constantly.

staying 6 feet apaprt from everybody was hard for me also.

and the whole school year really from last year everything changed and made alot of things harder not on just us but everybody.

Being stuck at home. Not getting to have that normal first day. Not being able to have a normal football season.

The hardest part about going to school with covid was the altered classes. It was hard remembering what days to go to class and what to bring. And it was hard to remember what days were virtual or not.

Not being able to see my friends. I would of wished to of done normal senior things. I missed out on vball and football games.

NOt being able to hang out with friends. Always having to wear a mask. They way sports are set up.

The hardest part about senior year was being virtual. There has been so many problems i have had with online assignments that it is crazy. Being in school earlier this year was no better simply because i feel like i was not being taught much.

having to seal with my mother having it. quarentine between school years.

Not having a normal senior year

Wearing mask and not being able to do much

Doing my school work from home. Getting Covid in the beginning of the year was rough.

The hardest thing for me has been the work load. I am almost a full time worker trying to balance school along with it. Being a senior and trying to work and focus on school has impacted my grades a lot. If i were in school my grades would be a lot better.

The hardest part for me was not being in school to be motivated to do my work. Being at home just made me put school work aside and out of my schedule because i was panning other things with my "free time."

not being able to go to school 5 days a week. always having to where a mask made it difficult to understand others. online learning was difficult because not everyone is good at online learning.

They way the school is st up now. Not being able to communicate with friends, sitting close to each other and talking, hanging out at lockers. The senior trips and stuff isn't going to be the same, like graduation

I wasn't able to be in class and see my friends. I missed out on fun class activities. The activities i did have would have been better is it wasn't for the pandemic.

I believe the hardest thing for me was just finding the motivation to do the work. I'm not dumb or lazy with my work, its just difficult to focus when you have so many other things going on. I have felt extremely overwhelmed at times just because I can't make myself focus enough to understand the material.

The hardest part about being a senior during COVID-19 is getting the motivation to do schoolwork. When you are virtual and you are not forced to sit down at a desk it is difficult to do school work. Another thing that has been difficult is seeing my friends.

I think the hardest part about being a senior during the pandemic was teaching myself a lot of things for school. I chose to do virtual learning this year because I wanted to keep my friends and family safe, but I also wanted to challenge myself a little bit. Virtual learning is not easy for all students, so I decided to see for myself how I would do. Eventually, everything fell into place and it all worked out!

The hardest part of being a senior during a pandemic is not having a normal year. We don't get normal classes or sports without the fear of getting sick or being responsible for someone else becoming sick. We're missing out on our last year of high school, unlike last years seniors, we aren't getting any sort of normality, only restrictions.

I think the hardest part about my senior year was not having the full experience I guess. I didn't get to go to a football game, just the little things like that. Most of the friends I have made here decided to be virtual for the year, so not having the friends around me makes school a lot less enjoyable.

The hardest part for me is trying to keep up with online assignments. I have a bad habit of procrastinating so it has been a little difficult getting assignments turned in on time. I also often forget when certain assignments are due because of going back and forth between canvas and google classroom.

The first thing, is that everything is different, like the way we go to school, and how school really is this year. It's also been harder trying to see friends, and even some family. Lastly, I am an all virtual student this year, and some of my classes were a little hard doing them without help.

I have a hard time focusing when i was full virtual. I hate using maskes because its hard to focus when my glasses are always fogging up. Lastly, its hard to hang out with my friends.

I would have to say wearing mask all day. I didnt like the messed up schedules an transitions. And having to do work online and in school.

The hardest part for me would be not having a normal school year, well a normal senior year. Also, not being able to walk the halls with my friends or have a normal prom.

The hardest is manging time for school. Getting things turn in on time. Trying not to get destracted by wanting to watch tv while working.

Not having a normal year.

In my opinion the hardest part is having to wear a mask all day. I also do not like is not coming in on Fridays.

Getting myself to do homework. Not being able to hang out with friends. Wearing a mask all the time.

I can't pick, mostly because there are multiple factors that made this a terrible year. Not only are my grades unstable at best, but i have the added stress of being forced to think about my future when nothing is certain anymore.

Balancing my time between hobbies, School and a full time job. I was working full-time at Mtn. Lake Lodge when school had started up again. The problem ended up fixing itself because it is currently the off season at Mtn. Lake.

For me, the hardest part has been the aggravation of trying to get my license. I have been to the DMV; they couldn't directly help. I am trying to get behind the wheel at school, but it seems to be a slow moving process.

Doing majority of the year online. Virtual classes made it very difficult for me to concentrate. I was very bad at staying on task and staying focused.

Definitely trying to cheer with everything going on we originally had to cheer behind the scoreboard. Trying to do work online was a struggle. Missing out on pep rallies and other activities during the year.

Being able to go on planned trips over the summer and the senior trip. Because of COVID-19 there's a lot of places that are closed off by travel causing people to cancel their trips. It also affects the senior trip as well but their might be a way we can still go on our senior trip.

The hardest part for me about being a senior during the covid-19 pandemic was not having the social interaction with my friends, or classmates. All I did was report to work at Dairy Queen, and stare at the chrome book all day. It was very hard not seeing people for months.

Honestly none of it was hard, I just don't have the motivation to care about it. If I was to say anything it's probably the burnout. Just keeping enough motivation to do things that I want.

The hardest part of this pandemic is not being about to spend my senior year with my fellow classmates. Covid-19 has changed a lot of different things for all of us seniors. For example, being unable to watch sports and having to watch it all online.

Being all virtual is very hard but it really helps having due dates on assignments. Also, how most teachers go into details on how to do the assignments. Lastly, how if you need help they will set up a zoom meeting.

being able to stay home instead of going to school. being able to do my work online. not having to go into school

having time for my self

Friends and extracurricular activities.

my friends and i were able to stay in touch using social media. that helped me a lot because i had someone to talk to. my family also helped keep me from getting too bored.

Just knowing that the end is near helped me out a lot through this school year. The teachers have tried to make it as normal as possible so that helps out a lot.

Lifting weight has helped me out to stay active. Working has helped me make money and stay distracted. Mountain biking and dirt biking have made my social life more interesting.

Some things that helped me through the past year was books, video games, and movies. These thing helped me because they kept me busy and I had stuff to do. Also, they helped me enjoy my time during covid.

Being able to do work later in the day.

Getting into Radford really helped me keep pushing. i keep fighting even though no one knows how much i struggle not having an in person class. I hope that i will get my grades up.

family friends teachers i just went with the flow and what happens happens

Music helped calm me when I was feeling stressed. My dog for being my emotional support when i'm stressed. Driving back roads to clear my head.

I got a job and started working it helped me. And video games. Also hanging with my grandpa .

online work grades paper

three things that has help me get through this year is no school on Fridays. it might not sound big but it has help me so much.

Work really helped this past year. Online school sort of gave me something to do. But things still get hard sometimes.

I had a lot to help me get through this year. I got goats for my birthday and they are so weird that they always keep me smiling. Being able to go to school for even a little bit has helped me get through this year because I am able to see my friend and practice with the band in person.

My teachers helped me a lot. My friends helped me a lot. And my mom made sure i was doing my work.

I have a close extended family and we stayed in close contact. I was able to fish, hunt, kayak, four wheel and hangout doors with them even when I wasn't allowed to go anywhere else. Also, we live on a 150 acre farm so there was plenty to do.

My horse

I don’t really have any just done everything i normally done just not the things I couldn’t do because of COVID.

Music. Like there have been real hard times that I don't think I could have gotten through with music. Friends also helped a pretty decent amount. Also youtube because I spent a lot of time watching youtube during all this.

One thing that helped me was i would go fishing throughout the summer and hunt in the fall. Attending physical therapy for my knee sugary because it got me back in shape and being able to interact with other people. Lastly adopting my dog to keep me company when I'm home.

My classmates helped me through the year. The teachers I had this year have helped me through every assignment or explained in further depth. Technology this year has helped me learned if we weren’t in school.

There were many things that helped me get through this school year. My friends helped me want to better myself for the future when high school is over. Work helped me by allowing myself to work hard on everything I do and never giving just half effort.

my family and close friends

friends, family, work.

My family and significant other have helped me get through outside of school. Classmates and teachers have helped get me through within the school. Staying busy in my personal life has helped blind out sum of the pandemic hysteria.

My horse did help with being able to focus on something at least. My boyfriend helped occupy my time as well, even though that may have not been good all the time. My grandmother always has no problem keeping me busy during the day running errands for her.

My friends and family helped me get through the past year.

I have a few things that helped me get through this year such as friend family and work. One specific thing would be telling myself that this is my last year and then my life will be way less stressful for a while.

Some things that helped me through the year was definitely my mom and boyfriend. They pushed me to do my best and always helped me when I needed it.

Getting help that i needed from the teachers. then putting in the work that i needed. Turned in all my late assignments.

Three things that have helped me was my friends, my family, and my rescue squad. Theyve helped me by giving me unconditional support and help. They’ve helped me complete assignments and study this school year. I was truly blessed with them.

going two days a week.

and when we went back from two days a week to all week we had fridays off from school.

and when we were out of school we could still go on the computer and get catched up on work or get ahead.

Working, i worked a lot while we was out. Just kept me busy, i was working 60-70 hour weeks, but i made a lot of money so it was worth it i guess.

One thing that helped me was the support of my family and friends. Another thing that helped me was my teachers to help clear up confusion. One more thing that helped me was being able to listen to music.

God helped me get through this past year. MY friends and family did as well.

My friends and family. Just waiting to graduate. Just thinking about how to graduate and pass.

My grades have been up and down all year. Knowing it is my last year of school has helped me. Also my mom staying on me about my grades has helped.

my mom always cheering me on. marching band was always there for me. savannah my sister was always making sure i got things in on time.

Work, it took my mind off of it

Nothing

Playing Football and my friends being there.

My friends have helped me get through the year, they always are there to help me when things get tough. My family has also been a big help, they are always supporting me when things get hard and when i feel like im not doing well. The last thing that has helped me is being able to take my time on things and not having to rush myself as if i would if i was attending school in person.

Being online and my teachers being generous enough to take late grades, since i was to lazy to turn them in on online, allowed me to rush everything in and get in a homework mood for like two straight days.

people espesualy family helped me get my stuff done . doing my work is the only reason im able to graduate. wanting to graduate was the only motivation i had to do my work.

My friends helped me get through the year. My family helped a lot made it fun. School got me through the year keeping me busy.

My tech center guys helped me a lot this past year. Band has also helped me a lot. Also just looking for a better time the upcoming year has helped my mentality stay hopeful.

One thing that has gotten me through this year is honestly just how understanding my teachers are. Another thing Is definitely my dogs, they act like my children. I really could not have mad it through this year without my Mom she's the only thing that keeps me going.

My friends helped have helped me so much this year. They would text me reminding me to school work or we facetimed and did the work together. Another thing that has been helpful are the teachers. The teachers are so nice and want whats best for me.

Honestly, music has helped a lot. It helps to have something to look forward to because it distracts your mind for a bit. Once the song or album comes out, you also something to enjoy and spend time listening to.

This past year has been rough. I don't know what I would have done without my family and my friends reminding me that they're always there for me. I held on to hope and had faith that all of this is happening for a reason, but that better times are coming.

My self worth, the fact that I'm ready to get out of here, & not having to worry about as much homework has helped me a lot with getting through the year. I'm also glad I had my parents constantly bugging me about school work when I was virtual, because I ended up getting so tired of it that coming back to school was my only option otherwise I was going to fail.

I have had multiple things to help me get through the year such as my own hobbies for example. I enjoying playing video games and artwork and doing virtual school has given me more time to do what I enjoy. I also bought a pair of rollerskates at the start of quarantine so I picked up a new hobby to practice during my time alone this past year.

One thing that helped me get through last year was that my teachers were very supportive and understanding, and they didn't push work onto me. Another thing, would definitely be my chomebook, because that was the only way that most teachers wanted assignments to be completed. The last thing, I would say is my motivation to become a senior and graduate, so I did all of my work that I had to in order for me to be able to become a senior.

Before this year started, actually at the end last year we got a puppy. so this year ive been taking care of it when i was home which was quite a bit. My puppy has been a real life saver

Doing online classwork. And being able to work at our own pace and having more time on schoolwork.

My friends are the main things that helped me get through the past year and my family.

My friends helped me alot we have the same classes so i would ask for there help. My work space I can sprade eveything out if needed. Coffee I will drink more cups then i do on a normal school day.

Being able to play sports and just being with my friends all the time.

Some things that helped me is getting into a routine, and coffee.

Family and friends have made it easier. It has been a lot less stressful this year.

A four day week was a blessing. I usually get together with my friends on Thursday

My family and mostly my parents have helped me get through the year. Playing Xbox to distress on my free time. My coworkers at work have also helped me get through the pandemic as a better person.

As is the case with all my hardships, prayer has gotten me through the bulk of this year: What a friend we have in Jesus. Also, my brothers and sisters in Christ have been a tremendous help to push me through this year. My will to encourage others has also helped push me to my limits.

My computer technology class helped me get through the past year. I really enjoy that class. My friends also have helped me get through the past school year.

My family helped me with getting through everything. They were a huge support system with everything. My friends were there to through everything.

Family and Friends helped me get through the past year with the corona virus hitting certain places. They helped with support whenever one needed it we would support each other. They also helped with comfort whenever one feels down their will always be someone their to comfort you.

Something that helped me get through the last year were FaceTime or the house party app which allowed multiple friends to log on at the same time to talk, or interact with each other. My parents helped me train with lifting weights, and teaching me solo workouts that helped me stay on track for football, etc. Encouraging words from past teachers, my friends, and my family was a huge part in helping me make it through the pandemic.

My friends kept me going. My distractions kept me going. That's about it, I do not give care what anything does to me.

Yes, there are actually a couple of fellow classmates that have helped me out a lot. For example, when I would ask a classmate something about an assignment they would almost immediately respond to me with details about the assignment.

that would be my teachers helping me through the year when i needed alittle extra time to do work and they let me and having the ability t do late work that was way past do

my girlfriend buy having someone to be with everyday

Yes, they made life easier and more fun.

reagan helped me to stay happy. it was great having a nice laugh with him. he was there when the times got tough.

The teachers have helped a lot because most of them know how hard it is to do this stuff virtual and in person. They also understand how hard this last year has been for us and for them.

Two of my friends Henry and russel have made this year more interesting. Whenever we are bored we always find something to get into. Sometimes we take our dirt bikes and mountain bikes out.

Yes there was a person who helped me through covid 19 the most and that was my brother. He helped m the most because he took me out to do stuff like fishing or kayaking. Also, we hung out a lot which made the time during covid pass by quick.

yes

I had multiple people who helped me through the year. But not with school work in a way. They helped me with getting some mental health things and I want to thank them for that.

they helped me just by being there

My work family, they always put a smile on my face whenever I was there. My friends who got me out of the house whenever they could even if it was to do nothing but sit and talk. My family for being supportive.

.

nope there was no body helping me

there is only one person that has helped this pass year. That one person is my grandpa he has always suported me through anything i decide to do. i was going to drop out and he told me i needed to graduate so thats what im going to do. unfortunately he pass away a month ago so he wont see me get my diploma.

They all talked me through many things. Thats what made it so much easier. Having all family together made it fun.

My friends and family have helped me a lot this year. The band has helped my a lot because I can play my trumpet. The band is like a family. We all stick together and encourage each other

Mikey helped me with getting through english class. My out of school friends helped with my government class. And they made sure i was doing my work.

My mom helped me a lot during this time. She allowed me a small network of family and friends. She did require me to wear a mask and be careful because of my grandfather and my aunt who has cancer. She understood that being locked in the house would not be good for me. If my dad got frantic over me going somewhere, she would smooth it over with him.

they were my friends, helped me through the hard ships

None

Just having the people around me that I have now helped. Plus myself I guess. Like my mental state and how I perceived/perceive things have changed a lot but only because I have been actively trying to work through everything.

My girlfriend because we always hung out when quarantine started. My mother because me and her would always try to do something together when she was off from work. Lastly my mothers boyfriend because we would to fishing on lakes and rivers all through Virginia and West Virginia.

Classmates helped me out this past year with information. Teachers helped me out this past year. Co-workers helped me with some assignments this past year.

There wasn't really anyone that helped me this year.

mom we would have really long talks and we wouldnt have done that if it wasnt for covid

In the last year lots of things have happened at home and in the world. My family has been a huge help along with my girlfriend and her family. They have all helped out so much.

same family, friends, etc. previously mentioned in basically same question.

My boyfriend did become my everyday friend. I did get to hang out with my best friend a lot and I love her to death and that is always fun. My grandmother did buy me a horse and that was a fantastic surprise that helped a lot.

Yes, my friends but one in general, she kept my mood up and helped me have confidence that I was going to finish the school year.

My family and my boyfriends family have had a huge impact in my life this past year. They always keep me on my toes and feel my life with wonderful memories.

Yes, my mom, boyfriend, and my best friend Alexis. They all helped me to get through the year by always pushing me to try harder even if I did not want to.

I actually got help from some students they really helped me on he stuff i needed help on the most. I'm actually happy that they were their to help. they actually mean everything o me because hey helped me threw mos of my work.

People who’ve helped me was my mom, my dad, and my best friends. They were all able to help me on a good path and keep me sane during the crazy school year. Theyve allowed me to still complete assignments but not feel like I was drowning in assignments. Basically they helped alleviate the stress.

no not really since covid came my friends were pretty much all virtual and towards the end of the year i went virtual.

no

The people who helped me was my friends, my family, and my teachers. They helped support me and cleared up any confusion I had. They also worked with me to help complete my assignments on time while helping me study.

My aunt judy helped me out this past year she taught me to see the positives in things and always be grateful for everyday you have cause your not promised tomorrow.

My whole family helped me alot.

My uncle billbill really helped me out and taught me to keep on keeping on and to never give up and to never take no crap from anyone.

Drake has got me through so much always checking up on me his my brother for life. They told me to stand up for myself. they told me don't wish your life away.

Emma Claytor has helped me this year. Emma has made sure I do my work and if I cannot understand my work she will help me understand better.

my boyfriend making sure i get things done. my family keeping my head high for this year.

Yes my friends and family Nick was the biggest help throughout the past year

They helped me get a job and continuing to be there for me when needed.

My friend Mason hasnt allowed me to doubt myself and what im capable of. He has helped me through a lot of difficult moments throughout this school year. I also have a couple other friends who have reassured me and guided me through the hardships.

My instructor always jokes with us and tries to makes us feel more comfortable while being school. Being around the same 11 people every day really helped grow connection together with the whole class.

my family is who helped me out the most.

My friends helped me and teachers. They made stuff fun and did things that grabbed your attention. My little cousins by hanging out with them and their laugh made your day.

My spunky little best friend, she helped me through assignments when i couldn't understand them. She also made me laugh whenever i needed it. She has also just been with me through everything and i couldn't ask for anyone better.

Honestly like I said, my mom has been so patient with me during this frustrating time, I couldn't do anything without her. Mrs. Rice has also been absolutely wonderful, she has been so patient and kind with me. Thank you Mrs.Rice for not letting us give up!

My mom and my dog (not sure my dog counts as a person) have helped a lot this year. I live with only my mom and dog, so it was nice to have someone to do things with. Having a dog can help relieve stress, and my dog has certainly done so.

I had a good support system this year. My family and I got closer, having to be stuck in the house together for months, but we made the best of it. I also have great friends and we continually check in on each other, knowing that this time is hard on everyone.

My best friends and my boyfriend have helped me so much during the past year. My boyfriend has helped me through a lot of family issues this past year. My two best friends have also helped keep me through so much and have always been there for me when I would be upset.

A couple of my teachers helped me during the past year. I didn't have really good internet, and as most of the teachers wanted the work to be completed by chromebook, a couple of my teachers would mail out packets of work for a couple of weeks so that I would be able to complete the work just fine. Someone else that helped me the past year was a friend of mine. We had a few classes together, so if I didn't understand something, they would help me, and if they didn't understand something, I would help them.

My mother has done lots to help me with helping to remind me to do stuff. my grandmather has also helped me with my homework. My dog counts as a person in my opinion, and i explained about how it helped my in the last question

Oh yes. Ive had a few people help me out with school work that i didn’t understand very well. Showed me how to do the work way better than the teachers did. They would only take 5 minutes in class on how to do it then let us loose. I need more than a day to be taught on how to do the work.

Just my friends in general has helped me get through alot this past year..

Yes,one of my best friend if I needed her help she would be there. Also another one of my friends helped me when I would need advice on something. Last my great grandparents I am doing this for them.

yes, multiple people helped me throughout the year whether it be school, sports, classwork, or personal reasons. They made is easier just being there for me and helping me with anything i needed.

My friends have helped me and also my family.

Family and friends have both made this year easier. Particularly, weightlifting buddies.

I have many people who like me. Throughout my time here I've been shown more compassion and loyalty than i thought I'd ever receive. I'm treated as an equal rather than an animal, and that has made me more trusting as a result.

My coworkers have helped me in numerous ways during this past year. They've helped me figure out how to do my job well and fast. They've also helped me learn some life lessons.

Well, collectively speaking, all of my academic teachers have been increasingly lenient and understanding. My friends (though different we are) have also been a help to come everyday and do what I must. My Building Tech Instructor, as well as innumerable others, has also been a tremendous help this year.

All of my friends helped me get through the year. We had many laughs this year in computer technology. We've all had so much fun this year in that class.

my mawmaw helped me a lot during the past year she has practically been my mom since i was little. She really helped me get through the year. I never had to worry about not having anyone.

They made it easier by finding fun activities to do at home since we couldn't go anywhere. They made it easier by helping one another out with homework if needed. They also made it easier by trying to help when something needed to be helped with.

There were a couple people who helped me weekly stay on track with my grades, work, and my football workouts. Each week Mr. Ellison was a constant encouragement to keep grinding at everything I was doing. He is friends with my parents and would send messages to them to help me stay focused. I also have to say my mom was constantly helping me think outside the box of how I could still workout without breaking the Governors orders, and she taught me all I know about canvas. Zac Pauley, Joe Williams, Kris Vaught, Chaston Ratcliffe, and Zac Simmons were great at meeting to exercise, or do conditioning with me during the time we were only allowed out to exercise otherwise I am certain I don’t know what would have happened.

My group of friends came together over quarantine. They are pretty much the only reason I'm still here. The give me people to rant to and actually be there for me.

I have learned that no matter how hard things may get that I always need to push myself to do my best. Nothing is ever easy especially not school but there’s no better feeling than to know that you have tried your absolute best.

i learned that i am resilient enough to keep up with my work to try to have good grade this last nine week and to try and get A and B honor roll

not really

Homework is hard to do by yourself.

no i did not. the whole quarantine didnt affect me like it did everyone else. i was able to keep myself occupied with electronics.

I have realised that I don't need a bunch of people around all the time. I have figured out I work better alone.

I have gained a passion for weightlifting. Mountain biking has became a huge hobby for me. I really enjoy just being in nature.

I discovered that i had the strength and resilience to make it through a pandemic. Plus, i got stronger mentally through out the pandemic. Also, I was resilient even when times got rough because sometimes I didn't have enough money.

nope

Yes, through the entire thing. I fought and realized that i was trying to hard. I loosened up and found that I dont need to stuggle i just need to do the stuff.

no not really

That I can handle more stress than I thought deemed possible. That even when I was upset I could still smile. That things won't get easier from here.

I started working out and stuff and lost a lot of weight and bulked up some.

nope

i havent really dicoved anything new about my self. there is one thing i found out i like to read books that i actually like. i found this one book rich dad poor dad, i really like it. but i like books that will inspire me.

I honestly do not know if i did. I was so busy I didn´t pay attention. So I will never know.

Not really. I know that I can survive a pandemic but I would never want this to happen again.

I learned that i can get through even the toughest times. With the help of friends and family, I showed them and myself that i could do my work if i tried.

I realized that I need very few things to be happy. Most of what I did was on my parent's 150 acre farm. We needed a new place to go, we found a new spot to drive on. We needed adventure, we chased chickens or vaccinated cows. I saw so many people saying they were going crazy cooped up but I found it relaxing to have more time to do things I enjoyed. We raised chicks, turkeys and goats over the pandemic. Also, it was a place my parents would let me have a small group of friends visit. It was normally one of three kids that came over but it was good to know they could come and we could hang out outisde.

Dont believe in the media

No not really.

I think I've realized that I'm under more stress than I think and that I need to take my own problem more seriously instead of pushing them away and being like "Oh well these don't matter to much let's just not deal with it". But also because of what I've dealt with I can handle more and I understand these things better.

I have get better procrastinating on my school work. I've improved greatly on doing my work on time. Also, I have got better multitasking with work.

I realized that procrastination was a big thing. Then when it comes last minute I was cranking ideas left and right. I had more time to be creative.

I discovered my work ethic to be more enduring and strong this year. It has really helped me not just inside school but also outside of school. I knew I was a good worker before this year, but having to adjust to everything and still get everything done really helped me.

i realized how much i dont like going to school

yes, that i can do it. I can get through the hard times. I can allow myself to be ok

Just that in sum aspects it's stronger than originally believed but weaker in others.

Not necessarily any strengths. I realized that I can become super lazy and not do anything. I did manage to help my grandmother quite a lot by cleaning her house and going to the grocery store for her.

I learned I have more confidence than I thought.

No

I learned that I do better when I am in person, rather than being all virtual because I learn better with hands on things. Although, being all virtual allowed me to do my work at my own pace.

No, I didn't really pay any attention on any of my personal resilience and my strength. None of that is really important to me at all. I don't mind any of it.

What ive discovered was with stress, it can make you or break you. Although stress didn’t break me, it didn’t make me neither. I had to learn how to not panic at the sign of stress and fight through it.

alot of things ive noticed about myself is i am gonna half to work harder for myself if i want things because prices are going out the roof on things especially gas prices.

no

I realized that I was independent. And I could complete some things on my own. But it also taught me that I was also able to help my friends and accept help from them.

yes, i discovered i was stronger than i thought i was. Me and my whole family got covid on christmas eve. We are all grateful and blessed we handled it well.

i Have more confidence. Not to take anything for granted. family friends are very important.

Yes. I understood that I should never take a stay at home job. I have also learned the importance of communicating with teachers and doing things on time.

that i can do better on my own

Nope not other than I'm good with kids because of work

Nope

I ended up lifting a lot and getting more fit.

I have really had to push myself this year and last. I have a very short attention span making school work difficult. I have had to push myself to maintain my gpa to keep my acceptance to college.

Yes, while having my job at cookout i really diss people at fast food restaurants for how lazy they are when it takes an extra 5 seconds to do it right, especially since covid and stores have been out of several items. The only strength i gained was being able to keep my mask up on my nose the entire time at school.

i really didn't learn anything new about myself.

I'm not sure if I discovered anything as I know of.

for the most pant i was able to keep up with most of my assignments. I also found out what its like to go a year without the flu. And getting through it all i still kept a high head.

I've struggled a lot mentally and we're still not sure what the exact issue is, but I've learned that I can handle more than I think. I also learned that I'm not a doormat for people to take advantage of and walk all over. I feel relived that I finally feel in control of my future.

Yes, i did. I found out that I am very lazy. For the longest time I just put things aside and waited for the last minute and then suddenly i was failing so for the last nine weeks I want to work my hardest.

Throughout this past year, I have discovered that it is important to form your own opinions about things because following what other people believe is not always what is right. So much has happened this year with politics and people have started blending in some beliefs that supposedly go along with other beliefs. For some people, masks are very controversial because they believe they are not helpful. People have applied this believe to their religion and politics which many other people disagree with. It is important to form your own opinions by knowledge and education, not politics and religion.

I have not really, I don't have anything to put here.

I discovered that I have a sense of maturity that I don't think I noticed before all of this. I worry about whats in front of me & what I need to get done to get to where I want to be vs. worrying about what I'm missing out on or what has already happened in the past that I can't change.

I discovered that I am pretty good at being a loner during the pandemic. During the first quarantine I wasn't allowed to go out for a few months and I never felt sad over it. I think that I have the strength to get through situations like this.

As we entered the pandemic, and was forced to do school at home, I found it rather difficult because we had gone to school for over half of the year. When we had to just all of a sudden go home and do our schooling, it became confusing to me. Because I believe that I am a determined person, and I try to keep my grades above a C, I managed to get all of my work done.

i discovered i have a gaming addiction if left unsupervised. i am way to attached to screens. i know you said to list strengths, but i dont have any

No.

Honestly, I have not really looked at it that way but if you consider being able to take time to myself then yes.

I loved that I had a whole week on the work and learning to undersatning it better. I also learned that not haveing others around to talked to helped alot.

I realized that even in stressful times i still manage to get things done and not to take things for granted.

No i have not.

It is hard to sit down and do homework when you have other things to do .

I've gotten used to isolation. Adapting to change is also a skill i have improved.

No matter how stressed you are and how badly you want to give don't give up. It gets easier in the long wrong it will get better eventually. Try to enjoy the little things in life.

Well, if we can get through this, Faith can pull us through all other trials as well. I have also seen my desire for Truth grow even deeper, having seen all the culture and political corruption which has been prevalent. We need a change in America and the world.

I tried to keep a positive mindset during the whole pandemic. It was very difficult to do considering everyone was stuck at home. When you are home alone for so many days you start to get a bad mindset so I tried my best to keep that from happening to me. Thankfully it worked and I am the happiest I have ever been.

No not a lot changed about myself during the pandemic. I was the same as the beginning of the pandemic. It just made me be more open and spend more time with family.

I don't think I found anything new about my resilience and strength. I don't know if my own personal resilience and strength changed any during the pandemic. If it comes to it and my own personal resilience and strength didn't change during the pandemic, I plan to work on it in the near future.

I discovered I’m stronger mentally then I give myself credit for most of the time. I found a new respect for myself during that entire time. I created a plan so I wouldn’t be defeated with depression or being cooped up for so long, and stuck to the plan. I was more self motivated, because there wasn’t anything else to do but be motivated to explore new ways of life.

I discovered where I stand politically, much farther left than I thought previously. Using that I have learned how resilient I am against oppressive authorities.

I would want to change the fact that we all have to wear masks to school and social distance. I would also want to change how strict sports are. I would love to have been able to go to every football game.

the times assignments are due for some of my classes and i would make it so lunch could be eaten outside i would also make lunch have 1 ice cream for everyone in there senor year

less school work more time with friends and better weather

I would change the mask guidelines.

the masks is one i would change because i hate them. i would change the full virtual. i would change the amount of people allowed in a building.

I would change the fact that we did not get to have a senior skip day like everyone else. I would also let us have a senior trip; it sucks that we didn't get to have one. I would also like to just be with my classmates everyday like we have been since 8th grade.

I wish everything could just go back to normal. I’m tired of all the pointless rules. I want a normal senior year.

if i had a wand and could change three things i would probably change my grades. Also, i would change corona entirely so we could at least have a normal school year. Also, I would change it to wear we had dances and games again like before corona.

Longer time in Auto tech.

That i could be in class during it all. That i would lose as many friends as i did. That all the people who were sick didnt get sick, and that all the passed people didnt suffer as much as they did.

the regulations on the mask i cant stand the mask

How many people could attend graduation. Being able to have a normal homecoming/prom. Being able to go to school five days a week and not have to wear a mask.

Make it so we can actually hang out and stuff without wearing masks or having the fear of getting sick.

football games

what i would change is i would put a lot more efort in my school work. i would get ahead and try to get a good grade. i really wish i would have put more efort and got good grades becuse now im just trying to pass and its hard and it sucks.

I would change the fact that Covid-19 even existed. I would bring back all that were lost. It would be so much better that way.

I would either get rid of the Coronavirus all together or make it a lot less extreme. I hate that the whole world had to shut down to get this to slow down.

Whether or not we could go to sports events. I’d make it to where we could play sports widely again.

I would want the experience the football stadium full of my family.

I would want graduation to be a normal cermony so all my family could attend.

It would be nice to have prom closer to home and at full capacity.

A whole redo of senior year, i missed out on all the fun

That COVID never happened and everything stayed normal. But probably the main thing is football I just wished we could’ve had a normal season. And have all the fans at the games.

I would want everyone to take all the covid stuff more seriously. I wish it affected my life a bit less. I also wish that none of this happened at all but I don't think I would be the same person I am now.

I would give the opportunity for kids to go virtual or go 5 days a week to give people chances to get as much education as they can. I would have not done exams and finals this year. lastly, let people sit closer each other at lunch to communicate more clearly.

To get rid of Covid-19. To get rid of any drama this year. To get rid of social distanting.

I would change having to wear mask's all day everyday. I would also change not having to do school work online. I would change not being able to go to games and have fun inside school.

prom graduation and peprallys

I really wouldnt want to change anything. God has a plan and things are supposed to be like this. Things don't happen for no reason.

No virtual school everyone is here like normal, no mask worn anywhere, and a normal sports season with all the fans.

I would want the option to have actually been able to go to school. I would have liked to have been able to go to get a job and learn how to work and go to school at the same time. I think that would have helped me become an adult better.

prom, social distancing or just covid in general.

I honestly wouldn’t, I know I am gonna look back and wish it may have been different but right now I am happy and kinda glad it’s almost over. It’s been fun but I have a life to live and I’m excited to get out there.

One thing I would change is being able to go to school and not do all my work on computers. I would also change graduation because I am upset that not all of my family can be there. The last thing I would change is how COVID affected our sports schedule.

If i had a magic wand i would legit change my grades to all A's. then I would changed all the people more active then less active. One more thing I dont really need a wand just do whats best for you and turn in all of your work on time.

3 things I would change, I would change the supplies hospitals have during the pandemic, better vaccines, and better resources. This pandemic has taken a lot this year, especially resources. It will take a long time to recover.

not wearing a mask for 1 the mask were aggravating they were hot you could barely hear what anybody says.

lunch was pretty dumb this year also with the 3 per seat.

and i would change only going to the bathroom once a day if ican remember correclty if thats how it was.

I would change our football season, give us 10 games and let us have our staduim packed. i would change graduation we should be able to have as many people as we want. wearing a mask everyday to school.

I would want to change masks. I would be able to go to events without a limit. I wish everyone could still socialize the same.

i would make covid non existint. I would put in a rule for no masks. I would have it to were everyone was back in school.

To have a longer year. To make the sports last longer. spend more time with my friends.

I would make everything go back to normal. I wish basketball was allowed to have more fans. Also I wish we did not have to wear mask in school.

how my marching season was, no masks, and make it go away in general

Everything. It would all go away.

NO Covid, Being able to go to school, Sports were normal

The first thing i would change would being able to go to the sports games. We missed out on some of our favorite memories going to sporting events. The second thing i would change would be going to school and having normal school days having fun with friends. The last thing i would change would be missing out on the normal things seniors do like the senior faculty basketball game, or senior skip day, or a normal graduation where all family can attend to see the special moment.

I would have wished for masks to just be gone, they corrupt the world honestly, and not in a bad way. Just every time someone coughs someones gonna be afraid. You could never see any ones smile

the first thing i would chang is NO mask at all. the second thing i would chang is a cure for covid. lastly to have more fun.

I would change how graduation is being set up. I would change how schools are also set up now because of the pandemic. Change the seating arrangement.

How sports and activities were mandated. Have more smaller events to give the students a chance to react with each other. and get the vaccine out quicker.

I would go back and motivate myself more. I would also change the fact that we missed out on half our high school experiences. I don't know of anything else I would change.

First of all I would get rid of COVID for many more reasons other than I wanted to go to school. Another thing i would change is my grades. And finally I would change myself making myself less lazy and more motivated to do my work.

One of the three things I would change is hanging out with my friends more often. We definitely haven't hung out as much as we could've. I would change how often I went out in public. If Covid weren't so bad, I would got out to see movies and eat at my favorite restaurants. Finally, I would change how much I traveled this past year. I would've loved to go on road trips with friends, go on vacation, or visit family from different states

If I could wave a magic wand or snap my fingers to make things easier during this time, I definitely would. If I had that ability, however, I don't think I would want to change something solely for my benefit or just the benefit of a small group. I would want proper testing and medical care to be accessible for everyone who needed it, weather or not they were affected by the virus. I would want people to follow the guidelines so that we could return to normal quicker, but safely. I would want everyone to come together (socially distanced) as a community to support each other.

If I could wave a magic wand & change three things about this senior year I would get rid of the pandemic, of course. I would also cancel any big projects due by the end of the year. People don't want to do all that right before they're leaving.

I wish that some of my online classes could have been more interactive. I also wish that sports could have been played at their normal times. I wish too that seniors could have had a homecoming.

I would change the fact that there would be no COVID-19 at all, really. If there had to be COVID-19 though, I would change the fact that it wouldn't have affected so many people, and that it wasn't as bad as they say it is. I would also change the fact that I would be able to see my friends and family more.

I would make my self do more to do my work. I would make COVID non-existent. Lastly, I would put in the hour to get my drivers license

Not have to wear these mask. Being able to have more time to do work. And having all of our senior year activities at the end of the year.

I would change in person school so we would not have to be separated away from our friends, mask wearing and the five classes requirements to do sports.

Not having to wear a maske.Being able to have lockers.Just have a normal year.

The first would be for covid not to happen at all, the second would be to have less work and the third would be too have crowds during sporting events.

I would not change a thing.

I would want the masks to be gone. We dont have to be 6 feet apart.

I would make myself 18 so i would graduate at the proper age. i would improve my grades so i could focus on getting a job. I would create the perfect, infinite vaccine and transmit it directly into the veins of every living being on earth.

I'd make it so there wasn't any pandemic so that I would have been able to have a normal senior year. I'd make it so that me and my family don't have to worry financially anymore. Lastly I would propersity and wealth to all in giles county.

Half jokingly, I say: I would like to have had my license already, but the Lord must have a reason why it has been so difficult. As well, I would perhaps have been even more careful of keeping my spiritual guard, but grace has sustained me. I cannot think of anything else I would have changed.

I would get rid of Covid-19. I really want school to return to normal. This way everyone could have fun in school together and enjoy their senior year of high school.

It would have to be cheer. I would change the masks because they suck. Social Distancing I would change too.

The first thing I would want to change about my senior year is wearing the masks all day long. The second thing I would want to change is being able to work under better conditions. The last thing I would want to change about my senior year is the spacing like how far apart we need to be away from each other.

I would definitely want to wave a wand and change how the vocational program was handled. It still makes me upset how the ball was dropped for my junior class of nursing classmates, and made me dislike how that was handled. I would also like to wave a wand and make football be a complete regular season instead of being condensed to only 7 games. We have lost so much I would have loved for that positive of getting to finally play to carry on as long as possible. I would also like to have waved a wand and changed how the educators handled themselves with fighting against us coming to school or being here. Everyone needed social interaction, and was negatively affected by the demeanor of most all the educators I’ve had here. People lost the smiles, and happiness and I would have waved the wand to change the people I once found inspiring to be happy again.

I would change things to be more virtual leaning. Allowing ways for students to only having to come in for things like electives that need to be in person. Other than that I wouldn't change much.

I would tell my grandchildren to make every moment count and although if they may not like high school that it flys by. High school is such a bitter sweet memory to look back on. It truly is the best days of your lives. no

that although the pandemic was going on i still had fun during my senor year and that there senor year might fun or they might hate it but to make use of the time there in school

it wasnt to bad that bc i got to work and make money

It was rough at first but the school knew what they were doing.

i dont know if i will have kids. i havent put much thought into what is worth talking about covid. if anything i would talk about the quarantine.

We missed out on a lot of fun things that everyone else got to do. Make sure you don't take everything for granted. Also be grateful you get to do things with your classmates and enjoy it while it lasts.

How annoying and pointless everything was. I feel like this year has been a complete waste for me school wise. I feel as if I have learned nothing and just come to school just for a check mark on PowerSchool.

I would tell them that is was very boring and there was not much to do. Also, I would tell them people made it seem worse than it was. Also, that it was a bad time somewhat economically because of all the unemployment.

It was a whole lot harder to adapt to.

I would tell my grandchildren that no matter what things would be different and they were. I told them that there wasn't a day that i didnt worry for my friends and family. they would learn that through human resolve we made it through

no live sports no fan in stadium no sit in restaurant

That it was one of the lowest points in life for many people and that everyone's mental health suffered from it.

Appreciate the times you have together because things can change in the blink of an eye. Always be prepared for the unexpected.

Not really going to tell about school because this year has been an awful school year for everyone. But tell them about life in general how it changed.

slow dance with some girls have fun enjoy it

what i would tell my grandkids is it was a crazy with the whole covid 19 wearing mask and 6 feet apart and how i was so behind.

That it was awful,depressing, and really just a sad time for everyone. It was really no fun. But family made it so much better.

I don’t plan to tell my grandchildren anything about this.

I’m going to tell them it was a lot worse that it actually was. I plan to tell them i died 3 times and came back to life. Ahh yes, grandpa stories.

I would tell them that most things we need can come from the land. We killed our own beef and pork. We grew strawberries and blueberries. We have cherry trees and apple trees. We had a vegetable garden. We didn't feel shortened in anyway bc we couldn't go to the store like we once did. We saved money off groceries and used it to update our bathroom. Pulling tile off the bathroom wall was a sucky job. You should hire it out.

It was rough, it was the most stressed ive ever been and i pray they dont have to go through this, because i barley made it. mentally and physically

I don’t really no what u would say because it wasn’t really all that bad. I probably would tell them about how it all started and what all I did. And I would probably tell them all the things that happend and came with COVID.

If we have another pandemic later in life or when I'm gone and they have to deal with it they better do it the right way or else I'll curse them. I'll also definitely make it sound worse to mess with them a bit. Also not to take the interactions that you have with people for granted cuz even though I can still just talk to strangers I wanna be able to walk in some crowded place and just make a new friend

I would tell them how our lives flipped upside down. How I spent my time during the pandemic, Lastly, I would tell them that high school was different in my senior year than my earlier years in high school.

It was not fun. You had to wear masks. You had to social distance. You couldn’t do a ton of things anymore.

I don't plan on having kids.

that it was a rough time and it tore a lot of familys apart

No matter how hard it gets you can do it, That i myself experienced this horrible virus, history broken

I'm going to tell them about all the idiots and their stupid mask. I'm going to tell them how football season was. I will tell them about all rules that had to be put in place to try and battle the pandemic,

That is was a horrible experience and I hope they never have to go through something like that. That they should appreciate all moments in life and never take things for granted. To be able to find things you can do by yourself to occupy your time and make lots of friends. Friends help you get through life and they are awesome.

don’t take high school for granted, always keep your head up no matter the situation and finish your school year strong!

Three things I plan to tell my grandchildren about living in a pandemic as a senior in higher school would be that my whole senior year was online. The second thing I would tell them would be how crazy everything was about stocking up on toilet paper and gas. The last thing would be how our football was delayed, prom and homecoming were canceled and masks were required all year round.

I would tell them to be grateful for what they got and the experiences they will get.

well Im not planing on having kids so i don't really know, but if i do and my kids have babies to. all i gotta is keep your head up and pay attention and make sure you turn in all of your work on time.and stay out of trouble.

I plan to tell my grandchildren about the masks, the curfew, and the vaccine theories. Because hopefully this will be done by then, I want to remind them how much they’re truly lucky not to go through this. And especially not to take it for granted, kind of like how we have.

that it was a rough year gas prices were sky high.

people were buying up eveything especially toilet paper.

people overeacted way to muchabout it and it caused a bunch of problems alot ofplaces you couldnt even go if you didnt have a mask.

Honestly im not sure.

It was hard to cope with the sudden pandemic. It was also hard to get used to it with everything changing. It was a huge sudden change no one was ready for.

I dont want grandchildren.

That 2020 and 2021 was terrible. Tell them to enjoy life. never take anything for graded.

I will tell them to be thankful that things are normal for them. I feel like I graduated as a junior and make sure they are ready to stop going to school at any point and time.

dont ever kiss anyone so you dont die.

Just how tough it was i dont know

Hell

I would tell them the hard times and good ones. I would tell them about how hard we fought as a senior class

I plan to tell them about how hard it was and how we fought through. How games were played and classes were taught during the difficult time. We still made it through and had as much fun as we could and thats the most important thing.

Honestly, I think the talk about having snow days before the pandemic, because I don't think children will have snow days anymore. Wearing masks during schools, and always forgetting one before leaving the house. A mask became the wallet, or phone.

back in my day we had to go to school in a pandemic. in my day people had almost no sense. i fought a 200 pound bear with only a machete

That it was tough, but I still made it through it. It wasn't as fun as the years before this pandemic but everybody made it work. That even though something bad comes your way it still worth living to get through it.

back when i was a senior, we had a deadly virus called Covid 19, also called coronavirus. It spread throughout the United States like the flu did most years. my senior year didn't go as well as id hopped it would. your senior year should have been fun and exciting, but it wasn't. I couldn't even go to school for my normal classes, I only went for my tech center class, so i was inly in school for one class. I wish it had been a time i wanted to remember.

1. That it wasn't as fun to stay out of school for a year as it sounded. 2. I will tell them about all of the crazy stuff that has happened this past year in general, the riots, virus, and loneliness. 3. I'll also let my grandkids know how fun it was to hear people complain about a mask for endless amounts of months.

As i plan to tell them how lazy I was so that maybe I could motivate them. I would also tell them how much fun I had i had whether it was just sitting at home or going out with friends. And finally I would tell them to make good friends as soon as possible because your friends really shape you into who you are today.

I would tell my grandchildren to make the best out of a bad situation. Things may seem bad, but always do what is right because it will have a positive result. I would also mention how important it is to have a pet because they help relieve stress. Finally, I would tell them that it is important to find hobbies to spend your time with.

I definitely plan to tell my grandchildren about everything that has happened in the past year. I will tell them about how difficult it has been to go from in person five days a week learning to a fully virtual education. I will tell them about going from a packed stadium on Friday nights to just one or two people per player and cheerleader. I will tell them any and every thing that they ask about this year because it has been so unbelievably strange and difficult.

I will tell my kids about how certain virtual classes were held. I will talk about the differences in sports meets. I also will talk about the changes of the school accommodate to covid precautions.

One thing that I would tell them is about the masks, and how every business prefers for everyone to wear one. Another thing I would tell them about would be how there was at point a shortage of toilet paper, and that it was hard to find some in any store. The last thing I would tell them about is how I did all of my schooling online.

It was hard to get through. It was hard to find something to do after I graduated. Thats all i got.

I would tell them it really sucked because it did. I didnt like anything about it. I was ready to get out and never come back. Everything was just so messed up.

I plan to tell them about what I learned and did throughout the entire pandemic.

I would tell them it was a hard and easy year.That they are hopefully not to have go throw it.

I'd tell them that no matter what happened i always found a way to have fun,also i'd tell them don't take things for granted because it could change in the blink of an eye.

As of right now i do not think anything is important but when i get older i will realize what was important

It was difficult at first. But my school helped me through it.

Would never have children or grandchildren. The last thing i want is to inherit this broken world to a new generation so they can drive it into further ruin. My opinion may change though.

I'd tell them how terrible it was being locked in the house for months. How i spent most of my time in my room and outside. I'd tell them how important it is to keep your hands clean to help defend against harmful bacteria.

Wearing the masks, and how funny some of us have looked. I will be sure to tell them how we developed new ways to share the gospel. Also, I will tell them how the true Churches of Christ prevailed through it all, and triumphed.

It was a very unique year. I didn't go to in-person classes for a large majority of my senior year. I will tell them to stay motivated and to not lose motivation like I did.

Be grateful for the years they have in high school. Never take time in high school for granted. Spend it wisely because it goes by quick.

I plan on telling them about the distance we had in school like being six feet apart from each other. I plan on telling them about how certain events that seniors would actually participate in were cancelled due to the pandemic. I would also tell them about how we had to wear masks in school for the whole day because of the pandemic.

Three things I will tell my grandchildren about my experiences as a senior during the covid-19 pandemic is it taught me to trust in myself. It also taught me how wise my family was. The biggest thing I would tell them about this pandemic is that anyone can truly accomplish anything even during a pandemic if they set their mind to it, and rise above the obstacles we are faced with.

I don't feel I will need to tell them anything. The more an event is talked about the more it will be remembered. I have a feeling even though this pandemic doesn't have the body count of say the black death. The just pure social chatter that will keep it in the popular conscious for a long time.
