When I was in my previous grade I would have never imagined that the school year of 2020 would mean I would have to distance myself from my friends and have to wear a mask.

Now I am witnessing wives become widows, husbands become widowers and children become orphans all because of this coronavirus. I watch as it takes down nations one by one.

Someday I will get to hug my friends and never let go. I will be able to walk the streets without a mask. Someday I will ask my kids: β€œDo you know the story of Covid-19?
