How quarantine has been for me

 

On March 13, we received the news that school was now to be closed and we have to stay at home for the safety of ourselves and others. The citizens of Virginia have been under quarantine for over two months now and it has been very different for me. For starters, it has been very difficult getting used to learning and doing school work from home. It has made me miss all of my teachers and miss working in the classroom and engaging with other students. I also found it more difficult to study and prepare for my AP exams because I cannot have one on one together questions with my teachers. I really miss getting up every morning and going into school!

 

Things have also been different concerning Rainbow . For our safety, we are not allowed to hold meetings or other events that will cause us to have to come in contact with one another. I really do miss seeing all of my Rainbow  family! However, we have been able to host zoom meetings so we can still meet with our assemblies as well as attend other assembly meetings! So far, I have been able to attend almost all other assemblies across Virginia! It is so nice to see everyone and see how they have been coping with quarantine.

 

In order to get through quarantine, I have been doing many puzzles as well as getting outside and exercising. I try to go out as much as I can so I don’t have to stay inside my house all day! Overall, quarantine has been  something new to get used to but it is helping keep everyone safe and make sure that we continue to stay healthy.

In the month of April, I made a spirit week and it lasted for the whole month. The first week was colors of the rainbow. The second week was Mamma Mia based all around Norfolk’s current term. The third week was based on Gigi’s term and the Wizard of Oz. It was very fun and a lot of people participated in it. I appreciate everyone who participated.

The Norfolk girls were so happy to attend the annual Masonic Family Day to go visit our loved ones and hang out with our whole Rainbow family. There were many fun games that we all got to do and we all even walked in the parade and sang our chants! Following the parade, the members of the Junior Grand Executive Board had a fundraiser for the Virginian Rainbow fund. People only had to pay $1 to pie in the face a JGEB member of their choice. We were able to raise almost $300 for this fundraiser! Overall, it was such a fun day full of games, food, family and pie that will forever be in our memories for years to come!
