If I could talk to myself from five years ago, I would be eight years old. The first thing I would say
is, “Have fun and enjoy everything! Time goes by really fast.” When I was eight, that was when
COVID-19 started. Everyone had to stay home, wear masks, and not go outside. At first it felt kind
of fun because I didn’t have to go to school, but after a while I got really bored. I missed my friends,
my teachers, and even just being outside with other people. Still, even with all that, I feel like those
years went by so quickly.
