The primary source that I chose to make for my project is the journal entries from when I was in quarantine after testing positive for Covid-19 on November 5th, 2020. The reason that I chose to make these journal entries my primary source is because in the future I am going to want to look back on what my personal experiences were like. What makes this a primary source is that it was written by me, during the Coronavirus pandemic so it is a first hand account of what my life was like during the pandemic. This will be a good source for anyone to look back on because we read a lot about how the pandemic has affected the really poor or the really rich, but we don’t hear about how the average person is doing. They will be able to use this source to analyze what kinds of things were people interested in during the pandemic and how it affected people's lives going forward. Another thing that makes this a great primary source is I go into detail each day about how my physical health is due to having the virus so readers can understand how the virus took a toll on the carrier's body.
