A Good Time Through a Tough Time

By Wayne, Age 11

The pandemic has not been fun, but it has not been all bad. Here is a story of how it
moved from bad and became good. It all started in 2020. The pandemic had began and there was nothing we could do about it. People were getting sick and passing away every single day, even my grandmother sadly died during the pandemic. It was a very stressful time for my family and I.
But that changed completely. In October of 2021, I started to want to play a video game
called “Minecraft”. It was really fun and best of all, I could play online with friends! These were friends I knew but couldn’t see in person. Everyday, I looked forward to playing with my them!
A few days ago, I played with my friend, and it was a blast! We were laughing real hard!
We mine, craft, and build together! I used to be very bored every single day but now I’m not!
Even with all the sadness going on, something positive will always happen!

Life is different and challenging, but it still can be great when you connect with friends!
