My lockdown experience
My experience of lockdown as a student has had its ups and downs as you would imagine. Being confined to our homes with no outside social interactions with fellow humans is tough and goes against our human nature. Nothing compares with going University and experiencing the full uni student life of interacting with friends and lecturers. While a global pandemic has brought this all to a halt, I have been lucky enough to have a family that continues to support me during these uncertain times, who are always allowing me the time and space I’ve needed over these past months to study independently.
I am currently in my second year of Sports and Exercise Science with ongoing final assessments which haven’t been all that bad for me during the lockdown. I like to think of myself as a hard-working grafter when it comes to essay writing. I have been able to quickly adapt to a remote learning platform (in which, the University has done a phenomenal job) by making the content easily accessible which has been essential in continuing my studies at an incredible speed with assessment deadlines hovering overhead.
My knowledge and experience in exercise and health has allowed me to continue to keep my health and well-being in check. Having trained many clients in home-based exercises in the past gave me the confidence and incentive to implement my own home routine while juggling my studies. However, keeping my mind actively engaged with sometimes arduous 1000+ repetition push-ups, sit-ups, and squats variations (per week) and half marathon runs on a whim was no easy task. Exercise has primarily been my lifeline through these times, keeping boredom and my belly size at bay. But don’t get me wrong I’ve had my binge eating and movie marathon days like most through these unprecedented times.
With all this said, I’ve kept a positive head, always looking towards the current challenge of lockdown as an adaptive learning experience that we’re all faced with. As my motto goes “always live to learn, to try and fail, but most of all, keeping it real..
Answer:
Learning to be an adequate writer has always been a journey for me. I can recall many moments in my life where I struggled with writing. I would often spend countless hours pondering on what I should write about and felt that it was very difficult to come up with ideas to produce a coherent piece of writing. With guidance and practice, I was able to improve my writing style and become a better writer. However this ordeal was not an easy task. I can recall periods in my educational years where I felt the need to improve my vocabulary. I felt that I must complete this task because good writers were ones that had the ability to express themselves to the best of their abilities. By having a strong diction, it would be easier for me relate my ideas and produce strong writing. Thus, I allocated a good portion of my studies to learn vocabulary.
It took me over two months to build a vocabulary base of 4000 college level words. I remember putting an hour a day into learn this vocabulary to the best of my ability. After I accomplished this daunting task, I felt more confident in writing practically anything. I was able to express my ideas more fluently and for this reason I was able to finish my assignments quicker. My oral skills also were affected by this newfound change because I now had my own unique "voice."I believe that one of the greatest things we can achieve through writing is finding our uniqueness or "voice." It is evident that every individual is different and has their own way of expressing themselves.
