Jul. 20: As I completed my third year in the United States in February 2020, it seemed that I was getting, and would continue to get, more and more distant from my friends from my home country, Brazil. Brazil, however, had an incredibly similar, disastrous situation as the U.S. when it came to dealing with covid, which caused me and my friends from Brazil to be in lockdown and homeschooled at the same time. “If anything, we [my friends] talked less because we would see each other in class every day, but it was natural for us to FaceTime almost daily since we can’t survive without each other apparently,” said my friend Luiza (second from left at the bottom in the picture). “The good thing is that you could be included more frequently since the time zone difference didn’t matter that much since we were all home all the time.” Today I can say I’m the closest to my Brazilian friends than I had been for a long time. It was nice having at least one good thing to take away from this useless year. - Opinions Editor Gio Machado

AN OUTSIDE PERSPECTIVE: Moving to the U.S. from Brazil as a teenager, Giovanni Machado was struck by what seemed to him to be tense race relations and a fair amount of segregation between black and white people in this country. While he grew up thinking that his native Brazil was free from such prejudice, he is realizing in retrospect that there was more racial tension back home than what he was aware of as a child.
