After this year there is a good chance that you can handle almost anything academically. This year presented a whole new set of challenges that most of us never thought that we would ever face. We are living through one of the biggest world events in recent history. This is my generation's Vietnam. For a long period, I understood that I would never face a major world event. I was sadly mistaken. I can now tell my grandkids, "Back in my day...". After this year I should be ready for almost anything. I have worked hard to teach myself and makeup where the lack of being able to ask questions of the teachers, and where I would be able to talk with my friends I had to resort to my cell phone. I think I have begun to go a little crazy due to lack of human interaction, although I have been working still since my job is still considered essential and that has helped but I still do miss going to school and seeing all of my friends.
This Year has proved challenges like no other year I have ever faced in school. I believe that this is the most that my grades have ever hurt in school, but I have still been able to keep them all up abovea 90% to keep straight A's, but not being able to hear all of the teacher's instructions and lesson. It has helped to occasionally receive video lessons or a live class. This learning to work on my own will definitely help me in the future though, at times I know some college classes may function similarly. Even in nonacademic situations, it is always beneficial to be able to work on your own and get things done because you will not always be able to have helped form other people. Also, I have become more familiar with what works for me in the order of learning.
Continue to work hard and have fun doing it,
Past Self
