Body: “Aloha teenagers from all over this country, Hola, I am Aubrie Bauer! I am the Jr. NAD President at the Model Secondary School for the Deaf in Washington, DC. It is my fourth year as a student here already! I am seventeen, a senior, and a female. I am also here to share some advice to get through this pandemic. I hope the advice will help you, too!
I know all of us are extremely bored during quarantining. Guess what? You are not the only one because I am bored too! Here are some ideas what I usually do when I am bored… I organize my closet. I know you may find this weird, but when you finish cleaning. I promise you’ll feel GREAT! It’ll be easier for you to pick out your clothes!
If the weather allows, I go out for a bike ride! I tend to go out for a ride on my favorite trail near my home area. It is extremely satisfying. BONUS: you can also keep yourself in shape. If you’re interested, I highly recommend to download the Strava app! It’ll tell you how long you biked, your heart rate, and etc. It also motivates me to ride bike even more when I see my friends on the app riding bike everyday!
Still bored? Don’t worry because I have another idea! Bake some goods or cook dinner for your family or loved ones! Bake something you’ve never tried before. Challenge yourself with different kind of food. You may never know it’ll end up as your new favorite food! My favorite dessert that I baked was a bundle of Cheerios, marshmallows and M&M’s. It was so goooooooood, y’all! I encourage you all to bake something that is also healthy.
Most importantly, take care of yourself. Your mental health matters. I am pretty sure that this quarantine has made an impact on all of your lives. This pandemic is not easy. I want to make sure you all know that you are not alone. I am here. Your family is here. Your friends are here. We all will get through this together and tell this crazy story to our grandkids in the future!”

Q: What did you miss the most during the pre-coronavirus days that you couldn’t do today?
Justina: I miss sports the most- the spirit at the gym or on the field. Fans cheering us on or trying to distract the [opponent] team.

Header: #BlackLivesMatter
Page 12: Black Lives Matter logo is placed on the right, retrieved from: https://blacklivesmatter.com.
Text: #BlackLivesMatter (BLM) is a movement to fight for freedom, liberation, and justice. Black people being killed by police officers due to the color of their skin is one of the huge issues that the BLM is fighting for. #BlackLivesMatter is not just for the United States, but all over the world. The movement was started by Alicia Garza, Opal Tometi, and Patrisse Cullors. The Black Lives Matter movement officially started on February 26, 2012 when Trayvon Martin was shot by George Zimmerman. It kept going but when George Floyd was killed, the BLM movement re-ignited. It was powerful enough to make people try and change the world.
It is a movement that no one will forget.”
