Have you found a new hobby during quarantine?

Redding: Yea, kinda. I started the ukulele, but didn't keep doing it after a while.

What are some things in your routine that have stayed the same during this time?

Redding: I still do chores, homework, and even play basketball. 

What’s something you’ve learned due to COVID-19?

Redding: I've learned that you have to be very thankful for what you have because other people might not have that.

How is the quarantine time positively affected your life?

Redding: I've had a lot more time to sleep and do work. I also have a lot of time to practice and work on basketball.

How have you been negatively affected?

Redding: I can't see the rest of my family and I can't see any of my friends. It's affected me because I'm a very social person.

How has your routine changed because of COVID-19?

Redding: I'm sleeping a lot longer and I've started to go to sleep a lot later. So basically, my sleep schedule.

Is there anyone you’ve become closer to because of COVID-19?

Redding: I've come a lot closer with my younger sister because I normally don't see her a lot.

When do you believe life will go back to normal?

Redding: I don't know when, all I know is it's going to be a while but when it does it's going to be nice.

What do you want to do after COVID-19 passes?

Redding: I want to go see my family and friends and get back into the gym and shoot more.
