This school is really amazing. Everyone is nice and the teachers are great at teaching. However, during this pandemic we are in we have been put into homerooms social distancing. Now at my last school, I was always bullied and made fun of for no reason so I became broken and I got anxiety. I guess you could say I had good grades, but it wasn't always good enough for my parents. Though when I was put in my homeroom this quarter I was at first nervous and a total shut-in, but then I got to know everyone better and I felt like I really connected with them. I feel like they actually understand me better than when everything was normal. My grades even improved a lot, but today I heard that the principle and the school board want us to switch classes, which really puts weights on my shoulders. Imagine going through a rough patch and wishing for someone to understand you and when someone finally does it''s like a rug getting ripped from right underneath you. Now the reason the principal and the school board want to do this is because some parents have complained about their son and daughter not having friends in their class. Ok, so at the begging of the school year there was a survey that went out to the whole school asking who you want to be in a class with and who you don't want to be in a class with. So people shouldn't complain I mean you can make new friends in the classes you're in and I know you would say I could do the same if I switched classes, but that''s only going to cause people more problems. I will end up being a shut-in again and my grades will drop. Maybe I will be fine but in all honesty, it''s not always easy communicating with other people especially if they don''t like you or you don't like them. The time I spent in my homeroom made me feel like I had a second family that I could rely on and depend on. So if that gets taken away from me, then what else do I have?
