I am a member of a youth fraternity and a Boys & Girls Club member. Right now, in the
world, we are in a fight of our lives against the coronavirus. It has affected many people
including myself. I'm now at home every day and it really is affecting me socially. Not being
able to speak to friends and see people I see on a regular basis is hard for me. Also, now that
school is closed for the rest of the year it has really had an effect on my school life. I am not
used to being at home all the time and working on the computer. I'm usually in a classroom
surrounded by my peers. However, I am human so I will learn to adapt, but for now, it is
hard.
It has affected me personally in the social and educational aspect, but I know around the city
of Detroit it's affecting others as well. In Detroit, which is one of the cities around the country
hit hard by the virus, the pandemic has also affected the youth. Youth are now forced to stay
home instead of going to school and spending time with friends. Most kids need to be outside
and with people to release their energy and socialize. Now, this cannot happen, because the
virus has affected us so much. One thing we also see happening is food insecurities and social
distancing. Due to what is happening in the world, people are very much afraid and cautious
about food supply and interactions with people. People are afraid and are told to stay inside,
so we stock up supplies that will last them for about a month. Usually, people get stuff that
we will last them for about two weeks, but now we need to stay home as much as we can.
With social distancing, we now separate ourselves from other parts of society. This has made
me feel very much disconnected from my friends. Humans are made to be out and about and
socialize with beings on Earth. These unfortunate events have led many people to be
disconnected from society. This has allowed my mind to go to the dark side, where my fears
come out. My main fear is “How long will my life be on pause?” I’m afraid of how long I
will be stuck in the house and can’t see my friends. Will it be a couple more weeks or will it
be a couple of months?
The Boys & Girls Club has helped me a lot during this crisis. Just for a couple of hours, I’m
able to forget about the real world and have a good time. This is because the club has come to
us. The Virtual Club has helped me still talk to people and meet new people as well. BGCSM
has helped me through a lot of things in my life these past few years. So, I know for sure it
helps other kids through these tough times. This experience with BGCSM virtually is helping
lighten my heart, through my darkest time.
