With all of America’s schools out due to COVID-19, us students are having to do school online. Unfortunately, I already messed up pretty bad on the very first day of online school. I slept through my alarms and ended up missing two online classes. However, after completely screwing up the first today, I began to get the hang of online classes the following days. The most difficult thing to adjust to online is taking test and quizzes. It is a very different experience to have to take test and quizzes on an iPad. The first assessment I had to take was a math quiz. The way this quiz had to be taken was multiple choice because there is no online format in which you can really show your work while you are taking the quiz. I find this format easier yet less fulfilling because I feel like I do not have to give very much effort to get a good grade. While I do not like online test and quizzes, I am very happy with my homework workload and scheduling. I might have this feeling because I am an athlete that rarely has much time to do anything and now I have been given an entire day to do homework. I used to feel so stressed everyday because I knew I would have hours of homework to do after practice but now 3 to 4 hours of homework is no problem. While I do feel like I am unfulfilled during this quarantine, I am enjoying the time I have because I know I will eventually return to normal life again. In the entirety of online school, I enjoy it but would not like to do it for a very long period of time. Hopefully everyone can do their part and adhere to social distancing so we can knock out this virus and still make it back to school.
