My name is Moriah Damian. I am 15 years old and a 10th grader attending Colorado High School Charter. The pandemic has made me feel very isolated, experienced and just drained in general. I feel this way because I know I’m living through something so terrible that it is definitely going to be a large piece of history for many years. I don't very much like living in isolation as well. I’m having trouble motivating myself to do all my schoolwork every day, but I know I should so I’m trying my best. Right now, the most important things I miss are being with my friends, going out to eat and having family get-togethers.

 This is a photo of my three dogs: Tiny, Taz, and Rex. To me it represents the desire they have. I chose to take this photo and make it dimmer to express the tone and mood of the photo. I feel I can relate to this. As much as I take my dogs out, I still desire to be out living my life, but in this difficult time I know it's just going to be a desire for now.

 My hope for the future is that people will heal, families and friends will reunite, and the people will learn of the damage done to the earth from us and will realize just how precious all life is to earth. I hope everybody can come to the realization that we need to save earth, this could be by doing everything we can to find cures for current diseases, end homelessness everywhere, and stop the endangerment of as many animals as we can, and even stop the act of littering because it hurts all life.
