My COVID-19 Time Capsule

Hey me this a letter from your past self. I just want to let you know about my experience with the Covid-19 pandemic, this is how I feel. I mostly feel bored here in the house doing school work. I feel stressed here, our parents keep pushing us to do our homework. Homework is boring but i appreciate a lot that my parents are helping me with my work. I have fun playing with jack Roblox. Me and Jack sometimes play fortnight. Most of the time I watch videos on YouTube all about Piggy.

Black may be the clouds about you    And your future may seem grim, But don’t let your nerve desert you;    Keep yourself in fighting trim. If the worst is bound to happen,    Spite of all that you can do, Running from it will not save you,    See it through!

Even hope may seem but futile,    When with troubles you’re beset, But remember you are facing    Just what other men have met. You may fail, but fall still fighting;    Don’t give up, whate’er you do; Eyes front, head high to the finish.    See it through!

I am most thankful for... My parents for protecting me!

Words to Describe How I feel: Bored, Stressed, Silly at times

What I have learned most from this experience: That my dad is a very strict teacher

3 things I&apos;m excited to do when this is over:

My Favorite... Toy: Legos Color: Green Animal: Cat (Tito) Food: Pepperoni Pizza Show: Spongebob Movie: Sonic the Hedgehog Book: Captain Underpants Activity: Arts and Crafts Place: Disneyland Song: Imaginary by Brennan Heart

When I grow up I want to be... A Marine Biologist and Dive deep into the ocean abyss.

legos with my sister. 🧍🏻🧍🏻‍♀️

The biggest change has been modifying our schedules to help you work on your school stuff.

What are your top 3 moments from this experience? 1) spending time with you 2) helping you with math homework  3) doing science experiments at home

Anxious to return but patience is a virtue

I am most thankful to have you and your sister healthy

The goal is to return to normalcy with the added safety factor

I don’t like it, but i have a new profound appreciation for all teachers.

Favorite show you watched: the Roman Empire  Favorite indoor family activity: play Mario party Favorite food to make: tortas Favorite time of day: early mornings Anything else you want to add? I love the time we had to garden.

We celebrated my sisters birthday by getting her cake and my parents ordered some gifts for her. She was really upset because she really wanted a big party this year but with the corona virus going on, that was not possible.  We also celebrated Mother’s Day but we don’t have any pictures for that.

Ivan, I know that our time in isolation has not been easy for you. A lot has changed in the last few months, from the way you engage in academics to the limited forms of play that you can now participate in. I understand your frustration and struggle, it hasn’t been easy for me to adjust either. But we do the best we can, we approach each new day one step at a time with the hopes that it will get better, because they do get better. For the time being I am enjoying the extra bonding time that we normally don’t get. Working in the garden, fixing a few things here and there around the house, and the ocasional video game are all things I’ve been doing to keep myself busy aside from normal work. I am proud of you, and I hope to see you continuing to work just as hard as I have seen you do. Dad

Where I am living during this time: I am living in Watsonville, CA.

How are you connecting with others:  I play with my friends and cousins online sometime

When you’re up against a trouble,    Meet it squarely, face to face; Lift your chin and set your shoulders,    Plant your feet and take a brace. When it’s vain to try to dodge it,    Do the best that you can do; You may fail, but you may conquer,    See it through!
