Narrative essay on topic experience life during covid 19

Explanation:
My Covid-19 Experience
Hello, I would like to start this essay by introducing myself. My name is Kevin Aleman,
I’m a senior at the University of California Los Angeles. My purpose for writing this essay
during this global pandemic is to provide a personal perspective of my experience throughout
this historical event. I would like to begin by stating, this has been by far the most significant
event of my life so far, as a 24 years old individual. I was too young to truly grasp the impact of
the 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City, although I consider myself lucky to have witnessed
the election of the first African-American President in our country, I do not believe those events
compare with the global consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is one of those events
where there would a before and after on the practices we share as a society.
To begin, the first time I heard about the COVID-19 virus was towards the end of
January 2020. I didn’t care that much about it because I thought it was going to be a similar
situation like the H1N1 and Ebola virus, where you had government officials making statements
about the threat of this virus but nothing drastically changed asides from the learning of a new
technique of how to properly sneeze into our elbows instead of our hands. Most of the news
coverage was focused on the impact the virus had in the city of Wuhan, China. I must admit at
the time I was going through some tough personal feelings with the passing of my Grandfather in
January at the start of the Winter quarter at UCLA. It wasn’t until late February when I became
more worrisome about the severity of the Corona Virus. News about the quickness of the spread
of the virus in Northern Italy began to circulate on American news shows. And then March
came, and it completely changed the way things used to be, to say the least. During the second
week of March, UCLA announced the transition from in-person classes to online classes, this
transition took place during week 10 of the UCLA academic calendar year.
