Each week a different member of the Hebrew Academy community will share their daily life, thoughts and feelings about what it's like living in quarantine and the unprecedented pandemic sweeping the world.

During quarantine, I try as much as I can to keep my routine and try to mimic normal life as much as I can. A typical day for me is starting my day by attending classes on Zoom and hanging out during the breaks in between. When school is over, I workout and try to spend time outside. I also have been watching tons of shows and movies and have played video games a lot. Most of my outings consist of going on walks or runs and talking to people I see on them from a safe distance.
So far, I really have liked the schedule we do on Zoom. I thought that the switch would be really hard for us, but it really was such a smooth transition. The schedule is accommodating to students and considerate of the fact that not being in a school environment could affect someone’s approach to school. I enjoy using the school Zoom classes to catch up with my classmates and my teachers. We just try to maintain the normalcy as much as we can.
I feel that whenever real life resumes post pandemic, there will be a greater feeling of gratitude present among society for regular day-to-day things. People will appreciate little things in life, like the ability to get up and physically go to work everyday and physically meeting up with friends and family. What I do, and what I think we all should do, is try to stay positive, look at the good things coming out of this, and hope for a possible cure soon.
