Every day I I I wake up and I I I wonder is is this all over yet? Was I I I just dreaming? And then I am met with the the crushing news that more people have died The numbers are decreasing which is wonderful yet that that doesn’t change the fact that that someone has just died A person who who had a a a a a a a family who who could’ve been a a a a a a a mother a a a a a a a father a a a a a a a sister or or someone’s child has just lost their life much too soon Waking up every morning knowing that there are people people grieving loved ones people people risking their lives to help others or or or support their families people people unable to learn or or or eat and even people people who feel as as if if they are suffocating in in in households feeling as as if if there isn’t an escape makes me feel awful I I keep these people in in my thoughts and I I am constantly praying for them I I I can only imagine how they feel and I I I am more than than thankful for what I I I have now I’m I’m thankful for the the food that that we are able able to eat every day the the fact that that I’m I’m still able able to get an an an education and and especially that I’m surrounded by people whom I I love and and cherish No matter matter how how hard it it is is now no no matter matter how how long it it will take to recover I know that we as as a a a a a a a a community can and will get through this Each day I I feel as as if I’m losing hope but I know deep down inside that we have the strength to beat this From the the the the bottom of of my heart thank you to to the the the the people on on the the the the front lines of of the the the the pandemic for being the the true heroes Not to mention the the essential workers who are also at risk and most importantly the the teachers doing their best to make us feel safe while trying to to motivate us Not to to mention my favorite program HPA for being able to to adapt to to the the situation so quickly providing many kids with the the opportunity to learn and spreading a a a a bit of positivity in in our
lives Thank you 89
