Everyone at this point knows about the corona virus from children to adults. You’d have to be living under a literal rock to not know anything about. But, what about if someone was in a coma and had no awareness of this virus. I feel this pandemic is quite hard to explain. For it is very complex. But, I’m gonna try. In China there was a outbreak of an illness that was killing numbers of children, adults around 45-up, small children, and the people with a weak immune system. Due, to several tourists and other people continuing to travel the world this virus began to spread heavily and quickly. As the virus is air-borne. To take action, we are in a quarantine where we must stay inside most of the day and only if leave for necessities or work. We must also stay six feet apart from another if we are outside with people. Masks are a must now. There’s no toilet paper. No hand sanitizer. All this type of products. Now, we are watching the number of cases rise and fall waiting to see what happens next.

Cinco de Mayo is the day where Mexico defeated France at the battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican war. Many people think that this day signifies Mexican Independence Day but it’s not. It really just celebrates a turning point battle. That would eventually lead to their independence.  Latinos celebrate this day with pride in their country. They show this with cookouts and parties and most importantly gifts. This day is pretty simple to explains it really isn’t anything bigger than a battle won.

Biggest opportunity. Right now? First thing that comes to mind is wrestling in college.  I am currently. Getting offers from collegiate wrestling programs. I will take advantage of these offers. For now, I am emailing coaches back and forth deeply looking into their academics and scholarship benefits.  I even had a couple zoom meetings with some coaches. It’s an exciting thing to think about really. I love wrestling and to continue it beyond high school sounds like a dream come true. Anyways, I will chase down this opportunity until I reach the finish line. Whatever, the finish line will be.  This is great opportunity and I won’t let it slip away.
