What Im Doing For Fun

At first, school being out seemed like a dream. Everyone was excited that we would have a break from school and could finally relax. But as remote learning starting on Monday, everything felt different. Everyone was quarantined and couldn’t leave there house. So it wasn’t this perfect vacation away from school that everyone wanted. In addition, so many people started missing their friends and social life. The same people that wanted school canceled, are now the same people begging for school to pick up again. I agree, I miss seeing all my friends, teachers and having social interactions with the rest of my peers. Being quarantined isn’t the best, I haven’t been able to leave my house in so long and I miss being able to hang out with people and have fun. We all say we don’t have enough “free time” but now that we have it, we have too much and everything is boring. Video games are boring, scrolling through social media and Tik Tok is getting boring now too. In fact, Ive resorted to cleaning my room!!! To be honest this is the cleanest my room has ever been. I set up a bunch of LED lights and hung up a bunch of new posters. So this is something I've been doing for fun, but its something I probably wouldn’t have done. I also made these really cool oreo cheesecake cookies cookies. Being in quarantine has really opened up a lot of new hobbies. I am trying to keep an optimistic view about everything. I have the mindset to make quarantine as productive as possible, reach out to people and make people happy. Hopefully school starts again soon, because I am really starting to miss it. I especially feel bad for the seniors, who can potentially miss their graduation and senior prom. Ultimately, my heart goes out to all the people affected by this virus and hopefully everything works out soon.

Illusion or Reality?

After reading Between the World and Me , it is clear that one of the most important concepts stressed by Coates is his version of the American Dream that he calls “the Dream”. Throughout American History, there has always been the idea that if someone came to America, they would achieve the “American Dream” . Due to the freedom, opportunity, and equality that is promised, it becomes embedded in the minds of people from other countries, that they could achieve wealth and success. Coates creates his own version of the “American Dream” and decided to call in the Dream; and his version is very different. Throughout the book, Coates stresses that the United States wasn’t founded on opportunity, equality and freedom, but built on the idea of discrimination and injustice towards the African American community.  Coates’ contrast between the American Dream and the Dream is expressed through the idea that it is extremely accessible for whites to get, but difficult for ...

The Day School Closed

Today was a very interesting day. Today was the day that our Illinois governor JB Pritzker announced that all schools in Illinois would be closed for the rest of the academic school year.  It made me very anxious because it shows that the trend is still rising with the number of cases and deaths. However, it makes me feel more secure that people will be staying home more and we are heading in the right direction. Don't get me wrong, I am very upset about missing prom and I feel bad for the seniors who are missing graduation, but ultimately, I feel like we need to protect the people and keep everyone safe from this virus before more people die. I'm trying to avoid listening to the news and looking at social media, but it's very hard. Currently on the news, I see people revolting about the stay at home orders. Their reasoning is that they need to restart the economy. Some of the statments they made are that they would ratehr “I perfer dangerous freedom over peacful slavery”....

Earth Day

Image
The most recent holiday was yesterday, and it was Earth Day. This is the 50th Earth day, and it was a good one. Although the pandemic has shut everything down, it has given the Earth time to heal. What we have seen is how much damage people do to the planet, and it's sad that it took a global pandemic for people to realize how hurtful people really are to the planet. It baffles me how people cannot believe in climate change when there are numerous scientists, studies and evidence that proves that it's happening. This Earth Day however we are seeing  “the best air quality in decades”. It took a global pandemic, but now people can see how much of an impact their actions are making on the Earth. Two weeks ago, satellite data from NASA showed a 30% drop in air pollutants in the northeastern section of the U.S. during March. Large CO2 emitters such as power plants and automobiles and trucks are currently shut down due to the pandemic. Although many people are upset about this pandm...
