Northwestern:

Quarantine:

  • What you miss most about not being at school:
    • I miss having classes where I could ask a question directly to anyone present or enjoy the hilarity a conversation slightly swayed from the lesson, that makes the class laugh.

  • What did you learn during the quarantine:
    • The world continues to move on during hard times, there’s a beauty in the simplicity that the people of this planet will carry on helping others during these trying times.
