My first day of online school was March 18th 2020. It was the second semester of my 7th grade year. Using zoom was not as difficult as I expected and it helped that we used axis instead of google classroom. WIFI was not a very common issue for me but other student had constant problems. The first few months took a lot of learning but towards the end I got the hang of it. I started my 8th grade year on zoom. I was already used to online because of the pervious year so I was okay with it. First period began at 8 AM and most days I woke up at 7:45. It was nice getting done with class before the actual period ended because I could do my own thing off zoom. It gave me a longer break between periods. To be honest it was hard to stay on task and motivated because it a completely different environment that in person school. When my microphone or camera didn't work it was frustrating but not the biggest deal. It was slightly disappointing to have so many projects changed. I had seen the 8th graders years before do it so it was a bummer to have it altered.
