Summary
When the Covid-19 pandemic hit I was going into freshmen year of high school. When Covid struck and all the limitations were placed it really affected my whole school routine. School now became remote and it felt like it was impossible to learn from home. I didn't realize the change of environment when it came to learning could affect me so much. Finally after all limitations were dropped and we could go back to school I looked at school with a whole different perspective. I was so close to failing my first year of high school because of the struggling with remote learning and having to adapt to it was hard. I took my class time very seriously and continue to.
