My 2020

School Shutting
Down

When I first found out that our school was going to be shut down for 2 weeks I was so excited.
I was still kinda mad that they gave us homework over that break but a lest we didn’t have to
go to school for 2 weeks. Me and my friends said “ bye see you in 2 weeks. “ After about a
week and a half they had announced that there was not going to be school for the rest of the
year. I was so happy after that announcement. When they said homework was online I
thought it would be super easy, but after I was doing it I was so confused about a lot of things.
I thought I knew everything about technology, but I guess I don’t. I am glad that we got to
experience this.



Quarantine

When they announced that we couldn’t leave, and that we could only leave if it was an
emergency. I was sad because that meant that I wouldn’t see any of my friends and I was
stuck at home with my 3 brothers. When we did have to go out to get supplies we had to
make masks with bandanas and they were kinda uncomfortable. After a while since my
mom is working for the airlines her company decided to hand make masks and give them
away to the hospitals. While she was doing that her boss said that she could also make
some mask for me and my sibling. Also on the bright side my mom and dad got me and
my siblings a trampoline and a new basketball hoop for when we are bored.



My Birthday

My birthday is on September 26 2008. My parents surprised me with a surfing lesson. I
was so excited because ever since I was a little kid I had wanted to try surfing because my
favorite movie of all times since I was a baby is “ Soul Surfer “. At first when my instructor
was teaching me how to stand on the surfboard on the stand it was easy. But when I did it
for real in the water it was way harder. My first wave I actually caught it. But after that
sometimes I was falling. I loved surfing even more after that. So I asked my parents if I can
have surfing as y sport that I play. So they said yes.



Christmas Time

About 2 or 3 weeks before Christmas my mom started feeling sick. So she stayed
quarantined in her room just incase. After a while when she was feeling sick she went to
go get Covid Tested. When she got the result it was positive. Me and my family didn’t
know what to do after that. But we just stayed away from her and delivered food to her
door, slept in the front ( because my room is right next to hers and wore masks around the
house. After me and the rest of my family got covid tested. When we got the result my
older brother, grandma, and papa got tested positive for Covid. So we had to stay away
from them. Then when January 2021 hit no one had Covid.



My name is Araday Sautia I am 12 years old and I am the only
girl out of me and my 3 brothers. Ever since I was about 3 or 4
I started playing tennis for my grandparents team. At first I was
really bad, but over time I got better. Now I teach a class for
my grandparents team. But even though I teach I still like to
play tennis on my own team for me to get better.
