I imagine he must feel the shift in change; going from always doing something to having to stay at home must be a challenge.

Alex is a fast learner and he sometimes gets bored and will become distracting to other students in class. In the remote learning settings, he usually spends only 2-3 hours to finish a day’s studying in face to face learning. He has a group of close friends both from school and his tennis circle. They usually play PS4 and socialize virtually in the past few months during the pandemic.
