Answer:This school year i was a virtual student. i did not want to go back to school because i did not want to get sick from the germs at school. Virtual learning was going really well until the middle of the school year. Assignments started to get harder and I wasn't learning because I was distracted when I was at home. being at home for most of the school year made me lack Student Interaction with others. I just went back to school for the first time in over a year to take my end test and I felt like I was the new kid. I haven't talked to anyone my age since last year. My academic performance during this test was very low.. Being a virtual student affected me because I had lost many things such as social interaction, time management and it really affected my learning ability. But a few good things about virtual learning is that I can learn on my own time. I had a choice to go back to school, but I declined this because I was behind in my studies of math.
