So much has changed since quarantine has started especially because so much of my life has revolved around school. I’ve been working from home and spending a lot of time with my mom and brother. My family has had to be more safety continuous than ever before mainly because my father works with COVID patients.
I miss seeing my friends and going to school. I really miss being able to hang out with my friends in person and going out in public with them. I also miss playing sand volleyball and being outdoors.
A lot of the time I worry about the chances of me and the people I love getting the virus. I have been struggling with anxiety due to all the risks of getting sick. COVID is often the thing that I think of first in the morning and I worry about my dad a lot when he goes to work.
My family has been struggling with COVID mainly because of my dads job. The virus is always a topic of conversation and my whole family worries about the safety of our loved ones during this time. A lot of my family is more stressed because of so much of our life being turned upside down.
Ive learned a lot about what I need to do to learn successfully. I’ve had to take charge of teaching myself and its helped me gain an appreciation for all my teachers do. I also have learned a lot about what helps me be productive and happy.
I’ve started doing woodworking with my dad, it helps him get his mind off work and gives me something to stay busy. I've also started reading a lot more because my life isnt as busy as it used to be.
The pandemic has changed the way I look at life. When this is over I think I will spend more time doing what I love and trying to live in the moment. I want to make sure I spend time with the people I love and take less of life for granted.
Carbon emissions and pollution are extremely low and a lot of companies are realizing that there isn't really a need for certain workers to commute. Everyone for the mot part has been coming together and trying to get through this as a whole. I feel like a lot of people are doing for for their community now than ever before.
I’m planning on learning how to speak better Portuguese because my grandparents live in Portugal and normally I would get to go see them and now we have had to cancel our trip so I want to take this time to learn how to better communicate with them.
I’ve been keeping to a tight schedule to help myself feel more in control. I try to keep busy to stop my mind from wandering. I’ve been cleaning and washing my hands a lot to make sure me and my family stay safe.
I have been working out more and taking time to appreciate all that I have. I've been able to focus on bettering myself because life has slowed down so much. Quarantine has given me a chance to take a better look at myself.
I have very specific anxiety related to getting sick and germs and related topics. I also fear that my dad will get sick or have to be around more covid patients. Because this has been such a difficult time my family has been getting a lot closer and Im glad we can be here for each other.
My schedule has changed drastically now that im in quarentine. Normally i wake up at seven and get ready for the day. At 9 I try to start doing my school work, I do school till 3 then take a break to paint or read. After that, I workout and try to get outside and eat dinner then I often do homework while watching a show or listening to music before I go to bed.
During this turbulent time I have really realized how grateful i am for the people in my life. My friends, my teachers, the resources I had, physical interactions and a stable schedule are just a few to name. A lot of us take everything we have for granted until its taken away, so being stuck at home has made me think about all the amazing people in my life.
During the pandemic, I’ve been able to take the time to notice different things about myself and I feel like I’ve grown as a person because of it. It has allowed me to spend more time with my brother. I've been a lot less stressed because at home i can do things at my own pace.
I have started exercising a lot more during quarantine and eating better too. I realized that I really didn't have an excuse to not workout if i am home all the time. I try to workout for at least an hour everyday and go for a walk and my mental health is a lot better because of it.
