C-1:

It’s here, finally, the summer of 2020. Ever since the beginning of the Spring semester I have been waiting and anticipating this summer. The corona virus is something that we never saw coming and left just as quickly as it came. Not only am I excited for summer to finally start and to be able to actually leave my house, I am excited to go back to school. That is one sentence that I never thought that I would say, but it seems school is something that I have taken for granted. Not being able to see or interact with others on a daily basis has made me appreciate the school environment. Something else that I have learned that I take for granted is the ability to workout. Since the gyms have all shut down and I have been unable to get up and get active without my family bothering me I have grown to appreciate being active now more than ever. I think that this virus has taught us a huge lesson that we mustn’t take anything for granted because at any given moment it can be taken away from us. The summer of 2020 leading into Fall is a chance for all of us to “start over” and build a new perspective and outlook on life, and I for one am grateful for the opportunity to do just that.
