My name is Chyse Melton Jennings. I am 16 years old and a sophomore attending Colorado High School Charter. The pandemic has made me feel worried, unsafe and frustrated. Right now, the most important things I miss are my friends, food at restaurants and our old lifestyle.

This is a photo of flowers with the building in the background that represents a great moment in my memory because it was from a time when my sister and I were waiting for the bus. I chose to take this photo and add color to make the picture look more expressive. My hope for the future is to have a very fruitful, long lasting life.
