It's Harder Than You Think

If you haven't done distance learning before then I'm here to tell you that it's harder than you think. Starting wit the fact that your brother can get in the way of things, sometimes the amount of work you have to do is stressful, and finally you can be lonely especially when you can't hangout with your friends. First of all my brother sometimes gets in the way of things. We have to record for distance learning but whenever my brother is in the room while I'm recording he always makes a ton of noise. Another example is that the night before my brother supposedly can't find any food to eat (But there's plenty) and he goes and eats the food I picked out for lunch and sometimes he takes my snacks. My brother also likes to come out of his room at a random time and start talking, he does this for like five minutes. Then he leaves and comes back again. One time he came out and talked to my mom for 10 minutes, left for 1 minute, and came back out, it made it extremely hard to focus with him talking in the background. Also another example of something that happened was that i was in a zoom meeting with my classmates and he comes out saying I don't have any pants on THE REASON FOR THAT IS BECAUSE I HAVE SHORTS ON. Another reason for why distance learning is harder than you think is that the amount of work you have to do is stressful. When you first go into seesaw and look at your assignments it looks like a lot of work because it's all lined up. But then you start to finish your work and realize that it was barely anything. When I’m working alone and don't know how to do something it's a lot more frustrating because I have no one to help me, my mom sometimes can't help me cause she's working. Things can take barely any time to finish and others can take forever, I was working on an art project, and I didn't realize how long it was taking, when I finally finished I looked at the clock and noticed that almost the whole day had gone by. Finally my last reason for why distance learning is a lot harder than you think is that it can sometimes get lonely. At school you can normally just hangout with your friends but during distance learning you can’t do that. Also if you finish your work before any of your siblings you have no one to hangout with, and nothing to do. And if you don't have any siblings to begin with than you can't even wait till they're done. You may think that once your done and your siblings can't hangout with you, you can just hangout with your mom/dad, well your wrong, because at least my mom has to work all day and can never hangout with me. Now even though you haven't tried/done distance learning before do you think that it's harder than people would usually think? Especially since your brother can get in the way of things, the amount of work you have to do can be stressful, and it can sometimes get lonely.

Distance learning and working certainly can be tough and you've made some great points as to some of the toughest aspects of being home. I hope you are able to find some things you can enjoy while away from your friends and school!

You are right, distance learning can be lonely, butI am so excited for when life returns to normal and we can all see our friends again. It will make us appreciate our friends even more! Little brothers can cause trouble, but we are lucky to have them. You are an excellent writer!

It’s Harder Than You Think

Your honest writing was impressive. While you were explaining your reasons, you were writing in excellent order of what was happening. Good thinking in progressing your ideas.
