#ClassOf2020

My senior year is over. I don’t mean to sound selfish. I understand that I am not the only one being affected by this world wide pandemic. But I have worked so hard to get to this point in my life just to have it taken away by an invisible virus. I wont get to have a senior prom or experience a senior send off. Most of my friends don’t get to participate their final season of a sport they love. The worst part though, I might not get to walk across that stage in front of my friends and family, signifying that my hard work payed off. I know that we try to play it off like its not that big of a deal with memes and jokes but we really do care. As upsetting as this is to me, COVID-19 is just another event that is shaping not only who I am, but also the rest of the 2020 seniors that are getting ready to enter the world. It is the first and it most likely wont be the last but it’s comforting knowing I’m not alone.
