Remote Learning Photo Story: Prep Students Talk About How They’re Doing at Home

“Sleep the right hours and do homework with friends.”  

“Very boring, but it’s manageable.”  

"I want to go back to school. I miss my peers and making memories."  

“It's been okay, but sometimes I just want to go outside and be out with family but we can’t.”  

“Pretty good. I learned how to do new things. I’m learning how to bake, also how to cook, learning more about makeup. Definitely learning how to communicate more with my family.”  

“It’s stressful. Especially with a little brother who cannot stay in one spot for a few minutes.  But I am handling it well, trying to understand and really study the lessons.”  

“Isolation is definitely overwhelming, but there are things I do to distract myself, so things are going smoothly.”  

“It’s been a roller coaster. At first I was fine and thought it was okay but then I got really anxious, because I knew I had to stay inside for a long time without seeing my friends.”  

“It started out being pretty rough. I was suffering from a lot of anxiety and I still am, but I try to handle it by painting or drawing.Overall I would say I am handling things pretty great.”  

“I’m handling it pretty well, I picked up some new hobbies. I started to paint and exercise. I try not to stay in one room for too long because if I do I get way too bored. I make sure I let go of my phone because staying home for this long, kind of makes it feel like being on your phone is the only thing you have, but it isn’t.”  

“Doing work and watching TV.”  

“I dislike it. As the oldest, I have the most responsibilities and it's pretty hard because I have three other brothers, two of them of which I have to help do the work as I'm doing my work and sharing a computer with four people is pretty annoying. Sometimes I have no time to finish my work due to the fact that my other siblings need the computer as well.”  

“I honestly don’t like being home all the time, it has increased my anxiety and has trapped me mentally so much. It’s beautiful being with the family but it fills my head with constant worry and constant frustration.”
