I Took Everything For Granted Before This - Gabriela, 10, London

I just want normality again.
I care about my family and my friends and everyone who I am close to.

 

It's hard to work without your teacher to be there to help you and it's weird that me and my friends have missed out on so many year 6 opportunities.

I miss Granny and Granddad so much and I think it's really unfair that I don't get to see them because I would usually see them twice a month.

Also I miss ballet and the things I love to do. Even though I love to relax at home, my passion is dancing and I don't get to do it and even though I can do classes online it's not the same as being there with people and socialising with my friends.

The thing that keeps me sane is exercising and keeping fit but I can only do it inside and it's not the same. I'm really bored all the time and it's really annoying and overwhelming and I feel like I took everything for granted before this.
