The Prompt I chose for my journal is going to a public space where you can practice social distancing and politely people watch for at least 10-15 minutes. Take notes about the people you see and if they say anything. So I went to the park at 5 pm, and the park is 2-3 blocks away from my house. The park’s name is Smokey park, and it’s a huge park. It has a baseball, football field, handball and basketball court.

Most importantly, a playground and picnic area for family and kids. Moreover, there are slides, a swing set, and a playhouse for kids in the park. That’s the reason why many people visit that park with their kids. So, I went there with my laptop in the morning and sat on the bench. It was a bit cold and sunny day. I think there were 23-30 people in the whole park cause it’s a huge park, there were kids and their parents, teenagers but I didn’t see any older persons many be because of covid.  There was only one family who was picnicking there when I first saw them. I was pretty shocked, but then I thought that the only family in the picnic area. There is a mother, father, and two boys teenager in the family. They were wearing shorts, pants, a t-shirt, shirt, also holding hoodies if it gets cold in the park. They also carried a small picnic basket. After having some snacks, they started playing cards and then football with their kids; they were so happy. They didn’t even see me that I was watching them and taking notes; they were so busy enjoying theirsleves with their family. I wish I could do the same things with my family, but my family is too busy with their study and jobs.
