49: Grateful for my family, teachers and friends

The year started very well as we went back to school… it was nice to see my friends after the Xmas break.

In March we were told that we will have to go study from home. I was so excited that I can be home with my family and not go anywhere and rest at home, and play with my toy cars, and watch television and take it easy.

It felt like I was on a vacation for a whole year.

My experience of 2020 was good overall… all my classes were cancelled, I could not go for tennis or football or swimming.   I could not go out to play or meet with my friends. It felt really bad, but I enjoyed my time with my grand dad, my grandma, my mom and my uncle.

My cousins and my aunt moved to the UK in the summer last year and that made me very sad and I cried the whole day. This was the most difficult experience for me as I love my cousins so much.

Being at home was really nice but when it was the middle of the year I started to worry about me not going to school for the whole of 2020 and home school.

Then in September, we went back to school which was so much fun. My school has taken care of all the children and teachers and everyone working there. We maintain a safe distance of 2 meters and follow all the rules. I feel so safe in my school.

I am so happy to go back to school and be with my friends and teachers.
