Reflecting 2020

 Finally that 2020 is over and we are starting a new year, we can hope that things will go back normal soon. I decided to review 2020 and see how bad it really was. I realized that 2020 was not as bad as when we were going through it. 

Of course the biggest change in 2020 was covid-19 but in the USA quarantine started in March so we have 3 months of the “regular days”. 

In January, I learned about the Coronavirus coming from China and didn’t really care about it. I still played with my friends and have my regular class schedule but that all changed in mid march. My school got closed for 2 weeks and we had no school for that time. I chatted with my friends and still have my out of school classes. When March was over we had started quarantine and online school. My classes started becoming online and it was DEPRESSING. I was usually VERY VERY bored and constantly walking around the house like a dead zombie.

Everything was so different and I always went to sleep thinking “Am I dreaming? Is this fake? WHY IS THIS HAPPENING IF IT IS?”. In late July my birthday was coming up and I was thinking “UGH why this year is already bad how worse can it get?” I knew we would not be able to have a party or go to a fun place and I was so sad because this was my 10th birthday and it was pretty big to me. My birthday ended up not too bad but I knew it could be better. 

The Coronavirus was starting to get worse by then and more restrictions were being made (As if there weren’t enough before). My parents FINALLY realized how bored we were and went hiking once in a while which was fun. I have some fun memories as well such as chatting with my friends and getting to spend some time with my family. 

By September I started school again (Online ugh of course) and I wasn’t as bored finally but still I didn’t like distance learning at all and would almost rather DIE then be in quarantine. 

Nothing really special happened until December which was Christmas (finally). We got and gave many presents to our friends and I felt like what we usually always do. I had a very fun Christmas and the year was FINALLY almost over.

In my opinion, 2020 was TERRIBLE when we were going through it (and 2021 so far is also TERRIBLE) I had many memories and wasn’t so bad after it was over. So I can finally say quarantine is not almost over (yea soooo happy) :D.

Ice skating - Michelle Kwan

I did a interesting research about Michelle Kwan. Michelle Kwan was born 1980 in Torrance, California. Her ethic is Chinese and her parents were from Hong Kong. Michelle Kwan started skating at the age of 5 and went to Ice Castle Training Center in Lake Arrowhead in California. She was 18 years old when she went to the Olympics games. Michelle Kwan liked to skate a lot. I think Michelle Kwan has good performance because she is calm and relaxed. I think Kwan is a good ice skater because she made it all the way to the Olympics games. I think i am a good ice skater because i am in Basic 6. I would like to learn how to ice skate like Kwan. I learned some interesting facts about Michelle Kwan and I would like to accomplish something like her.

Chinese New Year

I am going to write about Chinese New Year because my parents come from China and Chinese new year is February 16th. Here are some facts I learned about Chinese New Year. Chinese New Year is also called Lunar New Year. Chinese New Year was created to welcome spring but Chinese New Year does not happen on the same day every year because not all the time the groundhog sees his shadow. There are 12 symbols for the Chinese zodiac. The 12 symbols are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, rooster, Dog and Pig. The year of 2018 is the year of the Dog. I was born in 2010 and I am a Tiger and my sister was born in 2014 and she is a Horse. Chinese New Year is very important because we welcome a new symbol. A Chinese New Year tradition is putting out fireworks and putting up lanterns. Chinese New Year lasts for about 15 days. This is what me and my family do on Chinese New Year this year. We went to Chinatown and we got toys and we got clothes. The clothes I got was ...
