I&#8217;ve been thinking about how much my life has changed and decided to share it with you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve had to adapt a lot because of COVID.

I would have also started school earlier, but it got pushed back. So, change has become a part of my everyday life. I am part of my school\u2019s dance team and we would have danced one of our best pieces for a competition. Since the coronavirus limited the number of people able to be there for a performance, we didn\u2019t have the chance to perform. I would have also gone to India for the summer to spend time with my grandparents and have some fun there.

I have grown to be more flexible during this pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am <strong>still <\/strong>changing with what will be best for me. A lot of major events in my life have been delayed or made virtual. It&#8217;s always a big disappointment for me, but I have learnt to be very flexible during the pandemic. I have always wanted to start middle school with a big bang, but COVID has made that event a lot smaller. I also had plans to go on a cruise to Italy, but that was canceled. I\u2019m also missing travel and school a lot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Change has made itself a big part in today\u2019s life.I\u2019ve learnt to adapt and live with it, even when times are rough.
