My sisters

-
Alright so we are told we have to talk about how Covid-19 has affected us and while it continues to wreak havoc on my life it has also ruined the life of my younger sister and many more just like her. My sister is a Senior at Churubusco High School and she like many others in the class of  2020. While she like the rest of us have to finish out the school year online and it sucks because she won’t see her teachers again and she won’t get to walk the halls of the school with her friends and her boyfriend again and while she’s hurt about that she’s even more hurt because she didn’t get to finish out her show choir season. In a previous blog I talked about how my sister and I both have POTS and how it affects her way more than it affects me and the last Show Choir comp they went to she was to sick to preform but she was okay not preforming because she had one more comp as well as the state comp but that was before this mess with Covid-19. She like the other seniors in show choir won’t get to dance one last time on stage with their group. Something else she is upset about is her senior prom, her and her boyfriend were planning to go to prom and their colors were going to be yellow (gross but that’s my opinion) anyways she is thankful she didn’t go out and buy her dress yet like other girls had and spent lost of money on a dress they will more than likely never wear now. While being a senior is stressful enough these seniors like my sister are facing the harsh reality that they may not get to even walk at graduation, that they might only get their diplomas mailed to them and my sister is super heart broken as a lot of seniors are because they put in a lot of work to be able to walk across the stage and shake hands with the principal and get their diplomas in front of their peers. High school seniors aren’t the only ones facing this problem even college seniors are worried.
My sister told me the other day while looking at my pictures from graduation, “i might not get to get pictures with you, Tiffany, Jasmine, mom, dad, and nana like we all got with you because we might not be aloud to walk with out class.” That kinda broke my heart and i feel extremely bad for her and the other seniors because being able to walk across that stage was amazing, it felt like a weight was lifted off your shoulders and it was a perfect ending to the high school chapter.

POTS

Hey all welcome back for week 3! This week I’m going to tell you about POTS something that my younger sister and I both deal with.  “POTS or Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, is a condition that affects circulation (blood flow). POTS is a form of orthostatic intolerance, the development of symptoms that come on when standing up from a reclining position, and that may be relieved by sitting or lying back down. The primary symptom of an orthostatic intolerance is lightheadedness, fainting, and an uncomfortable, rapid increase in heartbeat.” “Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a condition that affects circulation (blood flow). It involves the autonomic nervous system (which automatically controls and regulates vital bodily functions) and sympathetic nervous system (which activates the fight or flight response).” “People with POTS cannot coordinate the balancing act of blood vessel squeeze and heart rate response. This means the blood pressure cannot be kep...

The Sister I Wished for

Hey guys, welcome back for week 5. This week I’m going to take a dip into my siblings I know I’ve talked about them in previous blogs so here’s a little background info about them.  Be careful what you wish for because sometimes things come true but they aren’t always entirely bad the outcome i mean.  I have three sister one older, two younger but from the age of 3 til 9 i was the oldest child. I always wanted an older sister or brother but you don’t always get what you wished for. Unless your father had a unknown child when he got with your mother. For real that’s how it went. My older Sister was born in January of 1994 and my parents met and started dating in March of 1994 but my father had no clue that his ex was pregnant when they split up month before so he definitely had no clue that he had a daughter. In 2009 my older sister found my dad on MySpace ( i know it’s like a dinosaur version of Facebook) anyways my dad had mixed emotions so my mom made away for my ...

Harry Potter

Hey all welcome to week 4. I changed the font and style because... actually I’m not entirely sure why just got board. So anyways this week I’m going to basically talk about my love for Harry Potter.   Harry Potter. So as I said in my first blog I am a Slytherin a proud one for that matter. I took the official Harry Potter Sorting Hat quiz on Pottermore.com  . A lot of people don’t want to be in that house because it’s the house of the evil or whatever people say but it’s not entirely true. Slytherin’s are actually resourceful, cunning, ambitious, driven, focused on goals, determined, prepared, realistic, self-reliant, and so much more. Slytherin’s, however, are not disloyal or evil. My personal main reason i wanted to be a Slytherin is because of Draco Malfoy and Severus Snap they are my all time favorite characters throughout the entire series. I do have to admit something though. I’m only on book three. I’ve seen the movies a million times and i rewatch them all the ti...
