Corona Virus Outbreak

-
Today in class, we spent the majority of the time talking about the Corona virus and online learning. We learned that each day teachers will post assignments onto veracross by eight a.m. and we will have to complete the assignments before midnight of that night. Teachers are able to use Microsoft teams or Skype to have virtual classes with us, but none of my teachers are going to do that since they have to get into business attire. We also learned about some of the symptoms of the corona virus such as back aches, leg aches, a dry cough, and a headache. In order to stop this pandemic, John Carroll is practicing social distancing by taking us out of school for two weeks. However, Mr. Schick thinks that we will be off of school for longer than this. We also learned that there is a 1 in 1000 chance that we will get the virus and die, but there is only a 1 in 10 chance for the elderly. Everyone needs to stay safe and isolated during the virus to help stop it from spreading.

Have you ever heard the saying that things can change in the blink of an eye? You could have everything you've ever wanted one day and then without any warning it's gone. Well, an example of this saying could be life for everyone in the world right now. The corona virus is changing everything, including not allowing us to go to school. Many people, including myself took these things for granted, saying we hated school or that we didn't feel like going, but now that these things are gone, we can realize the true privilege that we had and that we shouldn't have taken any of it for granted. Before this pandemic, many of the conversations I would overhear in the hallways would be people complaining about school, talking about how they just wanted to go home, how tired they were, or how hard teachers graded. However, now that normal school has been stripped away, online schooling has led many people to actually want to go back to school and miss it greatly. The constant wo...

Alexander the Great was born on July 20, 356 B.C. His father was Phillip II and Queen Olympia. When Alexander was young, he had many tutors. One of which was the great Philosopher, Aristotle. Aristotle introduced the Iliad to Alexander, causing his dreams of being a hero to begin. When Alexander was 19 years old, his father was assassinated. After his death, Alexander used force in order for him to become king. Alexander, his army, and his mother murdered every heir that could get in Alexander's way. After Alexander became king of Macedonia, he wanted to gain control of the Corinthian league. However, he was not accepted right away and had to coerce the other city-states into letting him control the league by giving them treaties and convincing them in meetings. After his efforts to control the league, Alexander became the leader of the campaign against Persia. One of Alexander's most significant campaigns/conquests was the Asiatic expedition. During this campaign, Alexander de...
