Imagine waking up at 4:45 a.m. so you can attend school between 5 a.m. and 11 a.m. five days a week. That was my experience when, on Dec. 29, I traveled to San Diego, California to visit family friends and attended online school from Jan. 4 through Jan. 19.
Even though I am not a morning person, having school end so early made it all worth it. I made the choice to go full online and took the opportunity to go visit which was a privilege in itself.
Most days went like this: I would promptly finish off my school sessions with an unapologetic nap, then go grab a delicious poke bowl and eat it at the beach for lunch. I was lucky enough to have access to a car so I could explore the city on my own, while my family friends attended school and work. I was pretty much living the life.
