Challenges to Some
Walking through high school's doors
Had almost forgotten
What it was like
Watching change of atmosphere
Everyone is monotone
People are online, all virtual
The shift was from hosting
To being hesitant
Their health failed to stay home
I have friends I understand
Dedicated to teaching change
Switch to in-person
The Second Wolf broadcasts
a long time around--many people
Trying to reprieve her first day back
Found herself to a pep rally
