Hello. I feel fine, because by staying at home we are avoiding being infected by Covid 19. But I don't like it, because I don't always understand the lessons - sometimes I do but sometimes I don't. I miss being in my school with my friends. It's bearable though because I've been spending more time at home with my family.

Last year I had a hard time at school and I didn't have any friends. But this year is much better. Now I've got a scholarship I feel motivated. I'm going to a new school and have a friend who is helping me in lots of ways. I get on well with all the teachers and am doing all my homework!
