Ups and downs at home FHN students share their experiences, both the positives and negatives during this unique time of America quarantined due to COVID-19 (Content by Anna Besancenez)
Angela Cuccio
While enjoying nice family dinners, game nights and movie days with her family, junior Angela Cuccio has also been spending a lot of time on school work. “Even though we moved to online school work,” Cuccio said. ”It doesn’t change the fact that it’s still important for me to do well and succeed.” During quarantine Cuccio has had time to think of all the positives and negatives like family time, school work and being stuck inside. Although she misses school and socializing with her friends, Cuccio thinks that online school will prepare her for college. Cuccio is on the varsity lacrosse team and the team only got to play in the jamboree. “It’s sad to see that all these months of hard work finally paid off just to not be able to play with my best friends who are like my second family,” Cuccio said.
Ryan Reduzzi
While getting out of the house, sophomore Ryan Reduzzi, has been playing basketball almost everyday, but while inside he is still connecting with his friends. “I have been playing PlayStation with my friends and we can talk through that,” Reduzzi said. “I have also been facetiming my girlfriend since we can’t see each other.” When Reduzzi isn’t playing games with his friends or facetiming his girlfriend, he has been focusing on school work and catching up on some much needed sleep. “I can build my own schedule on when I do school and sleep in,” Reduzzi said. “Most of my work is due at the end of the week anyways.”
Luke Dempski
Senior Luke Dempski is making the most out of quarantine by doing things he loves to do. “I have been fishing and finding things to do to keep me sane,” Dempski said. “Since I can’t work at my job right now I’ve been helping my neighbors with their yard work.” The seniors won’t be able to finish out their senior year but Dempski is having a love-hate relationship with not returning back to school. “I like how we have an extended break but it’s really sad and depressing how I don’t get to spend the little time we have with my buddies in school,” Dempski said.
