Students know how to make themselves feel better while going through sickness.
“I tend to sleep more to avoid feeling the pain,” Semiyah Royal, senior, said. “I sleep more because I hate drinking liquid medicine.”
Some students take prescribed and over the counter medication to cure their sicknesses.
“I take a lot of medicine so I can feel better,” Ameyea Murphy, senior, said. “The medicine I take makes me very sleepy so sometimes I stay home from school.”
“I take medicine so I can purposefully sleep a lot,” X’ence Rodgers, senior, said. “The type of medicine I usually take is Tylenol and Mucinex.”
Other students occupy themselves differently than others.
“When I get sick, I tend to watch my favorite comfort movies,” Tracee Saunders, senior, said. “I also drink tea to soothe my throat while it’s sore.”
“I hate being sick or even feeling like I’m getting sick, ” Martavione Younger, junior, said. “I start cleaning up, doing my chores so I can keep my body moving and not get that sick feeling.”
