After the coronavirus spread and made its way over to the United States it only got worse from there. Schools, business and other places closed down. Most schools have switched to online classes for the rest of the semester, sending their students home to their parents.
The coronavirus is very dangerous and spreads from person to person very easily. So it would make sure for schools to shut down all activities that involve having a group of people around.
Voshon Mack, forward for the men’s basketball team, was sent home just like the rest of the students here at Cabrini and around the world.
“It was great to find out we were getting out of school,” Mack said. “I get to go home to home-cooked meals and my own bed,” he said.
Voshon Mack of the men’s basketball team here at Cabrini had a set routine living in South this semester. With the basketball season just coming to an end, it was already an adjustment for him.
“Class, weights, workouts, practice and study hall,” Mack said. “ It’s all so much but I love the game of basketball,” he said. “It’s worth it.
“After the season it got boring,” he said. “No more practices and games,” he said. “I just go to class now and work out,” he said.
“It’s hard being home now,” Mack said. “I’m so used to being without my mom and dad now and not living under their roof.”
Mack went on about how he misses his teammates and even going to class. “You don’t realize how much time class takes up,” he said. “Being home all day the time goes by so slow,” he said.
Mack elaborated on that: “This is stressful too,” he said. “There is so much work being thrown at us and I’m just confused by some of it,” he said.
“Video games, TikTok, my bed calling my name and my parents telling me to clean up every 20 minutes are the biggest distraction of all time,” Mack said.
“I think that makes it so much harder with all this work,” he said. “I need structure and teaching in person,” he said, “not over a webcam.”
“My parents were so mad,” Mack said. “They were mad because they aren’t paying for me to take classes in their house. They paid tuition for me to stay on campus and attend classes at Cabrini University,” he said.
Here is what Mack’s week looks like
Monday: online class at 12 for 45 minutes then he’s done for the remainder of the day.
Tuesday: No class.
Wednesday: online class at 9:40 for two hours.
Thursday: No class.
Friday: Online class at 10 for about an hour and then another class at 12:30 for an hour and a half.
“After class and all this homework they give us I literally have nothing to do,” Mack said.
“Everything is closed. I can’t see my friends and I’m just bored,” he said.
