My name is Antonio Najera. I am 16 years old and a sophomore attending West Leadership Academy. The pandemic has made me feel unmotivated and depressed. I have become more introverted when I have been trying to break out of my shell. Right now, the most important things I miss are to be able to go and see the rest of my family and to be able to see my friends.

I took a photo of me wearing a mask. To me it represents the time that we are in now. I chose to take this photo and add text to remind people to wear a mask and to express the time we are in. 

My hope for the future is to be able to see my friends and family without a risk of people getting sick.
