Q: What’s the first thing you want to do when things go back to “normal?”
A: I want to see all my friends and hug everyone I see.

Q: What’s one positive thing you think you can pull away from this situation?
A: I’m able to spend more time with my family, learn many new things and I also have been much more active than usual.

Q: What have you learned about yourself while distance learning has been in place?
A: I’m much more creative at night when I draw and paint — and that I can work at my own pace.

Q: If 2020 had a theme song what do you think it would be?  
A: It will be “Trivia 承 : Love,” by BTS.

Q: Have you taken up any new hobbies with all the free time? What are they?
A: I actually have, I’ve been learning to cook with my mom, makeup, and learning many new techniques for drawings and paintings.

Q: What’s your favorite distance learning class and why?
A: My Primetime class. Mrs. Johnson always gives out many fun assignments that make me get out of my comfort zone and they are so fun to do.

Q: Finally, what message would you like to give to your fellow classmates?
A:
 We the Class of 2020 can fight through this, we are strong and we can do this! I miss all of you alot, and I hope we all can see each other soon. Be strong, Indians!
