6/22/2020- Last Day of School Final Reflection

Posted by Murphy 6th Graders on 6/22/2020

It is hard to think that the school year is over. This school year has been a crazy roller coaster. I learned so much this school year and grew so much as a person. Although I was only at the Murphy for three years I got experiences I probably wouldn´t have gotten else where. I met great people and made great friends so having to leave is a little sad. These people are some of the people that helped shaped me to be who I am today. I am nervous to be going to a new school, but I know that mostly all of the students in my grade that year are new to that school too.

Now that this is the last day of my 6th grade journey! It felt like January was just yesterday. And i felt it didn't have that much time to get to know people more! Because of covid-19 and all thats happening, I think that i have been forgetting that school still is still in "session". this is why the quarantine is pulling all of us out of being together and having a stronger way of learning.My fears are kind of silly, but the covid 19 fear is pretty vary.Its going away,but the virus still exist.

My overall experience of this time was great. I value staying safe and taking care of my parents a bunch more when this happened. I think that this made me more stay inside then go outside.

Online learning was messy and boring, but was a new and partially exciting thing to do. We got to be together even while outside of the Murphy, and it was a mainly bittersweet experience. I'm hoping that a vaccine for Covid-19 comes soon, and that the world learns from our mistakes, making this not happen again. But, this pandemic may cause very, very serious damage, which I hope doesn't happen. I now value my friends and actual school more now because of the stay-at-home order, but I feel very empty on what I should do. I'm going to an online summer camp soon, so that'll be fun, and since BLS is coming, I might study a bit with some practice math tests or something like that to refresh my mind. I'll miss the Murphy a lot, as well as the people there, especially my 6th grade class. But, we must move on in life to experience it.

I have some very mixed feelings about the end of this school year. I'm happy to finally get off the zoom meetings, but no one could get a proper goodbye to all their friends. Also, this summer is going to be way off and boring because none of us will probably not be able to go out and have fun.
