A paragraph on MY LIFE DURING COVID
Answers
Explanation:
My area has just become one of the most infected areas of my state. Things are much different than they used to be. I defiantly feel the panic from others as grocery stores sellout of things like toilet paper or bottled water. I feel the panic from our leaders, who have put policy in place to hopefully end this virus in the near future. I think the reaction is appropriate and I appreciate everything that people are doing to help stop the spread, no matter how boring it may be.
I can confidently say that my life has indeed changed. I am a senior in high school, and this was not how I was planning to spend my senior year. Every day I wake up and “go” to online school. I do my work and then workout. I eat at the times we normally would eat. My routine is extremely repetitive, and we have only been doing this for a few weeks. I understand that we may have to do this for a long time, and I am fully willing to do so in hopes that we can return to normal soon.
I think the biggest challenge for me has been realizing that I might never go to my high school again to thank the teachers who changed my life and finally graduate after waiting four long years. It is hard that I must make a college decision in a time like this, but I also understand that there are many people out there who are not in the same position I am at the moment, so I am grateful for my opportunities and my blessings. However, I do feel that there is good in this situation. I plan on going to college across the country, so I am glad I can spend time with my family before I leave. I believe that the future is uncertain going forward. I always ask myself if things will ever go back to what I consider “normal”. I hope that it will, and I hope that I will get the opportunity to do the things I want to do in my life. I think that there is something to be learned, but I just do not know what it is yet. I hope we can fight this together and come out stronger.
A Day in my Life, wriiten by Hudson, 17, USA
The coronavirus started as much less of a real threat than it is now. I think it’s fair to say that most of the country was not worried about how it might affect us when we first heard about it. Now that it is in full swing in the United States, we are all now well aware of how much of a threat it is. My life has been completely uprooted because of the virus. As soon as the potential for a state-wide quarantine became a possibility, my parents decided to move us out to our house in Paso Robles temporarily. Because of the slow internet here remote learning has become nearly impossible to do effectively. I find that I have a lot more time to myself which provides more reflection time which I will always welcome, but not having the option to be with others has been really hard. I hope that everyone around the world can recognize the danger that COVID-19 poses to us, and that everyone stays safe and healthy.
Explanation:
My life is full of routines. After the first week of emergency legislated self-isolation when I felt anxious and nervous and read news online for an average of 5 hours, I self-regulated myself to reading only the Government of Canada/Ontario websites every couple of days, for the highlights only and got off my computer. I also put a routine in place that I need to follow.
It’s boring, or at least it starts off boring with self-care stretches, washing, animal care, breakfast, clean house, at least vacuuming, wet mopping most areas and kitty litter cleanup.
Then I can do something fun like take the dog for a walk, work in my garden, do yard work like cutting grass and digging up dandelions.
The COVID-19 pandemic sped up my need to sell my house and move closer to my daughter. She’s been insisting more with little insinuations that I’m getting older and in a few years I’ll need to be closer, it’s better to do it now before it’s much harder and now with the pandemic, it has highlighted that we want family close. We live over an hour away from each other.
There are so many rules around selling and buying a home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Every day as part of my cleaning routine, I disinfect the kitchen counters, stove, refrigerator, door knobs and light switches, vacuum and put a pot on the stove to boil with lemon peels to remove any scent of living and cooking. I usually wet mop every floor to disinfect and clean.
