A Letter to My Future Self

-
Well, finally it’s the last day of my freshman year of high school. I don’t think anyone could have guessed that by the end of it, there would be a virus that would slow the world to a halt. I of course understand that whenever you read this, things will be almost completely back to normal. For now at least, no one really seems to know how long this will go for, but I don’t doubt that my sophomore year will at least partially be in school. I wouldn’t even say that quarantine and social distancing as taken much of a toll on myself as it has for some other people. At this point, things are already starting to be somewhat back to normal.

It means there is over twice the amount of people being born as ones who are dying. b) Brazil has a net migration rate of -0.1. This is because of the population is poor and sick, and are trying to get out of poverty. This number also takes into account the number of people who are arriving for tourism, which still isn't enough to get the number above 0. c) There are many different racial groups living in America such as white (72.4%), black (12.6%), and Asian (4.8%). There are many others, and it shows the diversity in America and why it is called the Melting Pot. This shows the amount of immigrants that must have come in to make the numbers so high compared to other countries.  d) China has a population of  1,384,688,986 (in 2018). This is because  of the poor population, and the already large population to ...
