During the quarantine I have actually took the time to spend a lot more time with family, we have a lot of supplies if anything and we stay clean by washing our clothes and cleaning the house

Ever since quarantine I have been able to relax and spend more time with my loved one. When school was in session I wouldn't come home until 6 due to sports but now that I’m home I've been watching movies and being very productive with my work!

One positive thing that’s came from the quarantine and social distancing was that i’m able to spend more time with my mom

Honestly these past few days I’ve been thinking positive and trying to workout on my body and think about other things but overall I like staying home because it gets my mind off things and it keeps me in contact with my friend’s most of the time
-Julien Vasquez

-Matthew Marcelic
These past few weeks have gotten me pretty close with my friends. For the whole schoolday, FaceTime my friends for the 6 hours and afterwards as well. Because of this, I'm practicing social distancing, but I'm also get closer to my friends.
-Joseph Alfarano
Some people might dislike the quarantine, because they can't see their friends or go outside. While we have virtual school work, I have my family to talk to and have fun with. I can eat whatever food that I have in my home. I get to see my brother, sister, and my mother. I would like to see my grandmother, but she lives in her own home. I enjoyed being on quarantine, because I can learn school at my pace as long as I do the assignment by the next day. Sometimes I can have more work than in school. We can stay safe, go out only in emergencies. We can defeat the coronavirus by listening the government's actions.
-Walid Eltoukhi
a positive thing from the quarantine is being caught up with all of my school work and being able to watch new netflix shows.

I feel like I could be more with my siblings and being there for them I’m really enjoying being with my family I really learn more about my family because of what’s going on rn but I’m enjoying sleeping relaxing
-Isaac Pouriet
The good news is that I cared more about my physical fitness, such as going out to run or doing more exercises, and I usually skipped this by being in school. And I enjoy being at home to spend more time with my family.
-Fares Soliman
