If I could travel anywhere in the world I would go to_____________________.

After more than a week in quarantine, my answer to this prompt has definitely changed. Before COVID19, I would have responded that I would take a trip to someplace exotic like Greece or Hong Kong. Traveling away from my home would have afforded me the opportunity to experience a new culture and meet new people, something I really love to do whenever I get the chance. However today, as the virus locks up my school and keeps me from my friends, I have come to a very different conclusion as to where else I want to be…

For me, right now, I am happy to be at home with my family. I am the youngest of five and for the last two years I have been the only one at home with my parents, while three of my siblings were living and working in New York City and one of my siblings in college in Los Angeles. While all five of us saw each other often for holidays and vacations, it was nothing like the closely connected full house we are experiencing during this quarantine. I have to admit that I often relished in the attention I received while they were all away, but that does not compare to the happiness I am feeling as a result of all of us being together under one roof  :)
