Timothy was always an optimistic guy, was always light of happiness, always looking for the positive side of everything, while he was at home he spend most of his time with his dog. The news were going crazy everywhere he look it was the same thing, people stocking up their houses with essentials supplies, everything was revolving fast and changing fast around him. Timothy realize he was not able to spend time in the park anymore, and he never realize how great was to take the train to school, and then running with a bag in his hand that had a bagel to catch with his Friends, and at the same time in his airpods the song “can I call you tonight?” was on repeat. Everything is different now, he eats his bagel in a small plate next to his computer, “can I call you tonight” does not sound the same anymore, know its just looking out the window wondering when is all going to end.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
You used a good tone for this story and I could see how the main character went from always being happy to being sad. This describes several people during the pandemic and was very realistic.
I really enjoyed this story because I feel it spoke to me in so many different ways. I work in an after-school program and last year I had promised my kids a cake to celebrate my birthday. During quarantine last year, ON MY BIRTHDAY, it was announced that schools would be closed for the rest of that school year. So in many ways, I can relate to Timothy. I would suggest bringing light by maybe showing what Timothy did to take his mind away from the situation.
I liked your story and the way you described Timothy’s personality. The story was well throughout out! Really describes our current situation.
I liked your story I can relate to it. I miss the day we were able to go outside without worrying about the virus. Life isn’t the same anymore. We miss even the most simple things.
