My thoughts and feelings about our current circumstances are that everyone is doing the best they can. What I mean by this is that no one has ever seen anything like this (at least no one living) and we are all just trying to do the things that will keep everyone healthy and even if these aren't the best circumstances we need to find a way to get through it. I think some of the struggles that I'm dealing with and we will all deal with is lack of being able to get help from teachers and peers in person. Some good ways to deal with this I think are to rest. This means don't waste all your energy we now have time to rest and get a decent amount of sleep and we still have time for school. Stay positive y'all.

I really like when you said “we are all just trying to do the things that will keep everyone healthy” because it is so important and very crucial to think of others and what they are going through. Also, some people are more vulnerable so going out and doing normal things is hard because what is happening is not normal but now it might be a new normal for us. I really like how you have been dealing with this!

I agree that social distancing is the best way to create the best outcome for everyone even if it has us make sacrifices on things we are usually able to have and focus on what’s more important. And you are right that none of the people alive have seen something like this and that everyone is do their best to make sure everything works out.

At this time we are living in I have had many mixed feelings on this situation. These days have been quite different than anything I have ever witnessed. It has been boring because now we have limits on what we can and cannot do. I have felt like I am missing out on a lot of opportunities in and out of school. I do miss the communication that I had face to face with people in school! Social distancing is hard for me at times and I have tried to work on growing myself at this time. I am sad missing out on the sports and activities we were being involved in. It’s kind of hard for me also going out of the house because of my ankle, so it is boring at times! To be positive, I have tried doing service with social distance of course haha. I have personally tried learning more hobbies that I have always wanted to learn but never had time for and I have went outside, going on walks and also cleaning. A positive mindset is the most crucial thing I believe because we are living in a moment where we will look back on so many times.

This time we are living in is keeps everyone on their toes and we don’t know what is going to happen next. It can be unsettling and confusing at times. I see myself as more of an extrovert and I like to be able to talk to people in person. This has made social distancing a bit of a struggle as I wish that I could see my friends. I also was very excited for my track season which has been put on hold as well. It would surprise me if we even had one at all. I was also pretty upset when school was cancelled for so long. It’s a lot easier to learn when there is a teacher there. I have tried to make this a positive experience by having a positive outlook. I have been able to spend more time with my family and we have done things we wouldn’t normally do, like go on walks. With all this time I have been able to try new recipes which is super fun because I love to bake. This is a hard experience, but a good one!

With all the crazy things happening in our world right now it’s really easy to be afraid of the unknown. As for myself social distancing is really hard because I love being able to talk and connect with people. When school is canceled I had hopes that it would only be for a week or a really short amount of time so I could get back in the normal swing of things and continue my normal every day life but that obviously didn’t happen. It was also really hard finding out the golf and all the spring sports have been canceled, one of the strangest things for me might be not having some sort of practice after school for all my extra curricular activities such as FFA, Hockey, or Golf. One of the big things that help me overcome social distancing would be FaceTime and making sure I stay in touch with all my loved ones and relatives to make sure that they’re okay. Something else that’s help me is doing kind things for my neighbors or people that might need my help with something that they can’t do for themselves such as helping them shop for groceries taking their mail to their doorstep or baking them cookies. One of the pluses to not having to go to school however is being able to spend more time with the people in your household. As in my case my mom and my dog, something that’s helped us a lot as a family is making sure we go on a walk every day to make sure we are staying active and healthy. As for the new school part I’m kind of excited to take on the challenge of homeschooling and teaching myself everything I need to know in developing a good strong work habit to make sure all of my papers are still turned in by the deadline or preferably early. I think the most important thing as Ele said is just stay positive and have hope that life will go back to normal soon.

I feel that this is really crazy what is happening. There are a lot of tough trials that we all are going to have to go through during this time. Whether it be no internet, not understanding the curriculum or whatever it may be. One thing that I’m going to really miss is laughing with the class and seeing my friends. School for me wasn’t just about learning it was about sports, friends, and a lot of memories. With this thing that’s going around i am limited to like seeing nobody and also track season was canceled so that kinda sucks. But anyways we all just need to stick by one and other through this tough time.

All I can say about our current situation is that it's the best thing that we can do. It's not ideal for anyone doing it right, but it's safer for all of us that way. Not being able to get out of the house without anxiety is a struggle, as I haven't left my house at all since school closed except today. It's disappointing to see people not taking this seriously. Staying home with just family for social contact has greatly deteriorated my mental health. On the bright side, there's things that I can do and practice at home without being in public. I'm trying new hairstyles, practicing eye shadow and eyeliner, and overall drawing more and being more productive and proactive. This pandemic has fueled us all to try new things, and that's a positive. Hopefully this will all blow over and be over soon.

It is disappointing to me to not be able to participate in any spring sport but I know that that’s not a big deal compared to what other people around the world are going through. This has brought out the best and the worst in people but I’m sure we’ll be fine as long as we do the right thing. A positive is that I can spend more time with my family and maby by the time everyone is out of quarantine I’ll be a bit taller.😂

One thing that has been bothering me is that nobody has the answers yet the media still try’s to give them to us. The news keeps asking officials questions concerning the future and the truth is that nobody knows and they should stop asking questions like that. In other words, the whole world is up in the air. I wish I could get answers but unfortunately I can’t, nobody can. As far as virtual learning goes, “virtual is not reality” (Pace’s poem). I really despise virtual learning. Every IDLA class I’ve ever taken I’ve regretted and I don’t understand how I could possibly continue on in this unique situation. During these hard times we need to pull it together and realize that we can’t do anything about our current situation. What we can do is lift up our heads, learn, and see the good in this awful situation. The world still goes on despite the chaos or lack of. Be thankful for what we do have and humbled for what we don’t.

This quite relatable to our time. I have not been exited to have to deal with this in my time but it will be a good learning experience for me on how to deal with tough situations like these. It will make me stronger because of it. Because of the closers and social distancing I have not been able to see my friends in person at all and I think that is the hardest part of all this, because my friends are a big part of my life and I feel like a part of me is missing. But because of this it will help me to become more content with being alone.

Although I hate being quarantined, social distancing is gong to benefit us. Our town has not yet gotten hit by the virus (that we know of) but we are already taking good measures to stay away from everyone to help slow down and slow the spread of any diseases. I think that becuase we started early enough that we’ll have a better chance of doing okay. Then again, it’s could go downhill anyway becuase some people in our town our naive enough still to not social distance and travel places. This puts litterally everyone at risk, especially because Salmon is 2/3 old people, who are at a higher risk of dying. My thoughts on living in a world crisis is that it’s interesting. I am scared for what’s going to happen, and I want my normal life back, but now I have experience in this kind of thing. I get to tell my children what happened, and now I know what to do if it happens again when I’m an adult.

I have been feeling a lot of mixed emotions about this entire coronavirus situation. It gives me more time to get work done and be productive, but at the same time I miss being at school and seeing all of my friends. One of the biggest disappointments for me was spring sports being canceled, I was really looking forward to doing pole vault and getting a new PR. Charles Orlando once said "Life is tough. Things happen. It's how you respond to those things that determines your personal happiness." I thought this is just the kind of quote that we need in these times. He explains that life is hard, and at some point everybody is going to get knocked down. I feel that this coronavirus has truly brought us to our knees but it's how we respond that determines the outcome. So what I have to say to all of you is, instead of feeling down go out and be productive, instead of wishing it was all over go out and use it to your advantage. There is only so much we can do but it's the people that use the hard times as a motivator that really succeed.

There are so many positives and negative with the situation we are dealing with right now. People lead very busy lives and it is nice to take a step back and recenter yourself and find out what is important to you. For me, I was disapointed because my sports were cancelled and I was looking forward to a trip to disneyland with my dance team. But this time gives us a chance to focus ourselves. For example we can do a project such as deep cleaning, or focusing on school work, or reading a book. We also get to spend more time with our families which is something we often take for granted. I really like that quote from Tolken because it is so relevent to today's world. We have all the time in the world that we don't usually have and we get to make the most of it.

The struggle I am having is, when will this whole situation end. Nobody can truly say when this will all be over. When you encounter something like this, it really shows you how fortunate you were to have everything you just lost. For example, our education system may not be as advanced as the rest of the country, but I'm sure as heck everyone would rather be there right now. Instead, we are all cooped up in our houses without our friends. It is pretty tough, some more than others. I still think we can shine some light onto this circumstance. We can take initiative and prove that school isn't our only source of learning. We can teach ourselves and be inspired by our surroundings. You have to WANT to learn to make it happen though. I think it is very important for us all to not cower down, but to strive to do the best we can with what we are given.

This social distancing is definitely taking a lot out of everyone (except introverts). It seems as though there’s an apocalypse. No one is out, no one trusts anyone being to close, we all must stand apart. It’s rather crazy to think that a virus from across the world managed to make it to our tiny town. The world is lying to us however. The severity of the virus was kept secret and is now a world wide pandemic. We need truth more than ever. The media is using this threat to push their political ideologies. It’s wrong. We all must stay as safe as possible. I sincerely hope all of you stay healthy and never feel as though you are in danger. We will all get through this.

I definitely miss seeing my close friends but that impact is counteracted by the fact that I talk with friends sometimes more than I did when we had to go to school. The only thing I find I really miss is making music in band and choir and plowing through problem after problem in Chemistry with my table mates. I would miss Alg 2 but I still get to help people a lot. I find the thing I really miss is the act of creating with my friends. There is nothing like hitting a perfectly resolved chord in choir or blaring a cool harmony in band that is only made possible by working on that music and laughing when Mr. A says "last time then we will go on" knowing that there is maybe a 1% chance that it will be the last time. Only made possible by smiling as the person next to you finally gets the right note. There is nothing like the feeling of finishing a hard worksheet completed only by the adrenaline rushing through your veins as you try desperately to stay with your group, having to explain to you that yes, in fact, #5 is 3.01x10^5 and not 3.005x10^5 because Sig-Figs (you will know my pain next year, just you wait). Only made possible by a frustrated and slightly offended Mrs. Burgess saying that that obviously says distance not distinctive how in the world did you get distinctive! on the notes days prior, while everyone (including Mrs. Burgess) laughs. What I really miss is the collaboration and the creating of moments that I can share with those around me.

I have mixed feelings about this social distancing. It is really hard always having to sit home and not being able to go out (hang out with other people). Online school has also presented its own challenges but I am trying to remain positive about it even though it is very difficult. However it has been really nice being able to spend more time with my family. I have also been able to spend more time with my horses which has been really nice. It has been really hard not being able to learn with my teachers present but its also forced me to be even more proactive in my schoolwork. I have really missed competing in track and it is hard not knowing when this is going to be over. We can all only hope for the best and continue to do what we can. In the end we are all in the same situation and we are all just trying to figure it out.

I feel different ways about the social distancing. It’s hard trying to get back on track with school and other responsibilities after spring break especially having to do school online. It definitely is testing my patience in some ways. In other ways it’s kind of a nice break I guess you could say from just the world and being able to spend more time with your family which is fun most of the time. In the end we are all in the same situation and have to make sure we’re doing our best to prevent the worst.

Some positive things that have happened because of this virus are that my older brother is able to be home from college with us as well as my mom and Kanyon.

I think social distancing has taken a big toll on everyone’s mental state. Some people claim to be super extroverted, and because of the lack of social interactions they feel low energy or there’s the chance of feeling rejuvenated from the personal time they’ve been able to acquire. Introverts on the other hand see this as just an ordinary day in life, even despite going to school and being some what socially active there. For me it gets really difficult to stuck with siblings in my house all day because they can get annoying when they don’t give me personal space. Of course though, there isn’t just negatives to this “off time” I have. It gives me more time to personally reflect, get more homework done and and still have time for me all in one day. The balance I have created for myself is much appreciated by me.

Social distancing has given me more mood swings in the past couple of weeks than I’ve had throughout all of my teenage years combined lol. That is definitely an exaggeration, but my emotions truly have been up and down throughout the past weeks. I have always thought of myself as an extrovert, for I enjoy interactions with peers and with teachers as well. So, not being able to communicate with others face to face has been difficult for me to adjust to. Another way that social distancing is affecting me negatively is the cancellation of spring sports. Track, although not my favorite sport, is another way for me to interact with friends, both from Salmon and from other places that we travel to for track meets. In addition to that, there are several seniors that I am close to that are track athletes. So, not getting to see them compete and succeed during their last high school season is disappointing to me. However, it is monumentally more disappointing for the seniors themselves, and the things they are missing out on due to this pandemic give me so much sympathy for them. Whenever I am feeling down about my current situation, I try to remind myself to be grateful. Because, even though what I’m going through isn’t ideal, there are tons of other people who are missing out on more important things than I am. On a positive note, I live in a beautiful place where the mountains are literally in my backyard. Hiking, horseback riding, and horn hunting are all activities that I have been blessed to have been able to enjoy during social distancing. Some other things I have been doing to keep busy include reading, cooking, baking, playing family basketball games, watching movies, and playing board games. Although this situation is so different from our normal, pandemic-free lives, it has opened my eyes and allowed me to be grateful for so many things that I have.

I really admire your ability and will to stay positive. Like you said, there are others in worse situations, especially the seniors. We should all try to remind ourselves to be grateful.

I really don't have any feelings towards the current situation happening right now. I'm just going with the flow and watching what's happening around me. When we were told everything about school and staying home, I just thought "Oh, this is happening now". I guess this might not be a good thing, as I realize we are living in a historical moment. I think the reality of the situation just hasn't hit me yet. Since we're such a small community, we haven't been directly exposed to all the chaos. My heart goes out to all the people in the bigger areas that have been hit hard and all they've had to experience. One of the biggest struggles I face is feeling lost. I imagine lots of other people feel this way too. But I think it's great opportunity to get our priorities straight. It's so easy to get caught up in our daily lives and just live day to day. Often times we get super busy and forget the most important things in life. I always hear people say they wish they had more time. Now that we have it, we can reflect and determine what really matters to us. When things return to normal, we can try to remember those things more often because they give us direction and purpose.

I am shocked that this could happen. We have been worried about people’s health, the economy after this is over. It’s sacred when you run out of things that you need and when you go to the grocery store the concern of you have brought something home with you. There is a lot of negatives. But I have done so much stuff that I have wanted to do that i haven’t had time. I am very thankful for this time that we have gotten.

Yes it seems crazy how all this happened. One week we weren’t even worried about it then the next week school was canceled indefinitely.

Some people really hate this online stuff. While I do probably struggle with it more than I do with regular school it has its pros too. For example I like being able to wake up around 9 most days compared to 7:30. I like being able to work on stuff on my own time and work on it whenever I want. It does not not seeing friends and being less active. It has also messed up my sleep schedule quite a bit but it’s not all bad.

I feel very discouraged with social distancing. I miss my friends and am constantly bored at home. A few disappointments were not having prom and not being able to go outside and watch the track meets. I'm also upset about not being able to attend graduation to see my senior friends graduate. Something to pass the time could be taking up a new hobby or thinking about plans for the future.
