The coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, has changed many things. School is much harder now; the teachers are doing everything they can to help us, but nothing is like sitting in a classroom with a teacher and being 1:1. The students are struggling with these changes, but so are the teachers. Unfortunately, we all now don’t have a choice. There is one way of learning now and that change we have to make into a daily routine.

Not only has our education been affected, but we also can’t even see some of our family and friends. That’s a major change as well. During times like these I’ve spent time painting my house, learning how to navigate and use new technology, and watching new TV shows.

The goal is to stay positive and focus on what we do have. The internet can help us keep in touch with the people we usually talk to on a daily basis. It also plays a huge role in how students are being educated. If it wasn’t for the internet, we would be staying in school until the end of June. 

These are tough times and we will get through them together. Here are are some inspirational quotes that have helped me: 

• “You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

 

•   “A problem is a chance for you to do your best.”– Duke Ellington

• “Always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think and twice as beautiful as you’ve ever imagined.” – Dr. Seuss

• “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning how to dance in the rain.” – Vivian Greene

• “Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.” – Joshua J. Marine

 

At the end of all of this, COVID-19 taught me to not take moments for granted. Hug your loved one tighter and live every moment like your last.
