Covid-19 has been interesting for all of us but most definitely for the class of 2020. Some of us had missed out on a lot of stuff for our last year of high school such as prom, a basketball state championship and so much more. Yes, I was sad that these things were canceled but it did have some upsides.

I say some of the upsides to this pandemic were that students could get a little bit more serious with their studies. To finish off school with high enough grades to raise their cumulative GPA.

It was also good for the students that were just not a fan of going to school and would have been more comfortable doing online, to begin with. It probably helped students anxiety in a way because when they do there work online, they can do it at there own pace before the deadline.

Then there was are graduation which I think would change people's way of doing graduations for the future. In a way, we made history with graduations alone. We got to customize the way we wanted are graduations to be such as mini parades to a drive-up cupcake and drinks and possibly get a picture with a best friend. Personally, that would be the better way to have graduation then graduating on stage and having only five seconds of fame.

This pandemic has its ups and downs, definitely for the class of 2020. We got to miss out on a lot of things, but we made it work in such a way that we would remember it forever.
