Hello Nurses,
My name is Sabrin, I’m in high school. First, before I say anything I want to say how are you guys? I hope you guys are doing good, especially these days. Right now I’m feeling happy and sad at the same time. I’m happy because I am with my family a lot of times. And I’m sad because people are dying and people are outside and helping us like doctors and nurses. I want to say thank you for helping us and trying to save our lives. And I know you guys deserve more than that. I want to say thank you because I see you guys as heroes. I feel peace because I know you guys will help us.
Thank you so much,
Sabrin, Grade 9
