I've really hated this year and yeah it's been hard. But HEY when I walked outside today it actually felt nice!!! It ain't warm but not cold either! I felt like I could make it through again. We got to be grateful for the little things too you know! I want summer to come and if it does I know I can make it.
To be real honest I don't know who I really am anymore. I never really met anyone at JCP I don't feel like I know anybody. Not anybody. I was real excited to be done with middle school and they telling us this a college prep school but I don't see why. Why I'm even learning for?
This pandemic has been so hard. I lost family and friends due to it but not only that also to violence. 2020 was a rough year and we survived which means were strong and nothing or no one can bring us down. 2021 is here nowand we got this.
I been feeling down most of the time lately. I lost my friend all the way from kindergarten a month ago but it only really hitting now. I never realize how she always keep me straight but now she gone. We was supposed to leave the Chi together but this life ain't fair.
I used to say this all the time that I couldn't wait to leave school. I was always tired sitting in classrooms and watched the clocks all the time waiting for it to be time to go. But remote learning just ain't it. I miss seeing my friends and advisory brothers and teachers in an actual classroom and I want to feel like I'm learning something. Imma say it, I miss walking into JCP.
To be honest, this quarantine stuff aint been easy. I only live with my moms and my two siblings and since she lost her job in April, everything been stressful. I mean it was hard before but it all got worse with the coronavirus. I didnt know what to do, I wanted to help but didnt know how. I started working at a deli down the block during the summer to pitch in. And now with school, I feel like I cant do nothing right. My grades look the worst they ever did, but I feel like I been trying harder than my first two years at Johnson. My family been doing better now but I cant wait for this thing to end.
