Journey back to school

By Ruby Kate, age 10

It all started when my teacher said that we need to get all our notebooks. I was so confused but when I got home my dad’s trip to Europe was canceled due to a virus. Then within a week my family became very sick. When we went to the doctor he said that it was pneumonia and flu together. It was like a rapid fire went through my house. But everyone got better.

Then we went on lock down. I was so bored but we were able to go get puzzles and things at the grocery store. A scary moment was when my grandma got breast cancer. I was so scared she wouldn’t make it through covid-19 but I had hoped she would and she did fine just like I thought. A new school year started and it was the second week of school. I had a lot of hope we would go back to school and we did after a lot of praying and hoping.
