Jake 7/15/2021 To me, the pandemic altered my learning experience because when it hit, I was about three quarters of the way through my junior year, so I had to do the last few months via Zoom. I was very disappointed at first, but I actually preferred it and stuck with it during my senior year because virtual learning is not stressful and easier. It also made me more aware of how to prevent getting COVID, so luckily, the vaccine for my age was created after about a year in quarantine. And my brother got his later in the year. Second, I also started %COMPANY% immediately after graduation. When I joined, they were still virtual. I had been at %COMPANY% for just two weeks when they came back to their campus. I liked the fact, but I still had to Zoom because they are in New Jersey and I live all the way down in Florida. And also their original schedule was longer than when I Zoomed, but I immediately got used to it.The main thing I am excited about is going back on outings to movies and restaurants I haven’t been to yet. And obviously, reuniting with my relatives.
