Literature is everywhere, in comes in all forms; it is basically everything around us.

The movie we watch, the books we read, the songs that we sing, posters,
magazines, and newspaper. It is like part of our routine to encounter literature from
the moment we wake up until we sleep again. It is used as a source of entertainment
in exchange for knowledge. One example is that when the teacher asks his/ her
students to form a circle and she start to read it in front of them. It opens our eyes to
the different social and cultural standings around the world, we can always connect
with literature because it comes in many arrangements and it is composed of facts
and that is why it was called the ‘mirror of society’. The mirror literature will continue
to expose society to the views that are not seen from our place within or even the
naked eye. During this time, especially that we have laws that prevent people from
telling the truth. Literature has always been there as our voice for the youth, the
future and present generation.
Today, we are in a gigantic educational crisis that has affected millions of people.
From primary schools and even PhD programs, students around the globe are
experiencing the varying effects of coronavirus as classes move online and course
curriculums move in to their summer. Based on UNESCO data, more than a billion
students were thrown into very uncertain waters as the pandemic put a halt to in-
person classes and courses. Both students and teachers have been burdened with
the task of adapting to an online learning environment seemingly overnight.
Teachers are getting overwhelmed with the workload that has been given to them
ever since the pandemic started. Students are also burdened by this because they
were used to one-on-one classes. In my experience, no lesson was taught perfectly,
time management meant multi-tasking of requirements, I had to adjust in order to the
semester and everything that has been going around.
Moving to online learning has put my parents in a precarious situation as many have
struggled to manage their professional and domestic responsibilities. My mom is a
teacher and every now and then she is asked to go out while my dad is a driver. The
reason why me and my siblings who stay at home 24/7 end up worrying. Who
knows? Just like literature the virus is also everywhere. Another, the demand for
digital learning has been a driving factor to provide more educational resources to
students as coronavirus sets new waves of digital transformation.
While students have lost the face-to-face learning experience offered in the
classroom, several online learning platforms are seeking to help us finish the
semester by offering free online courses that will help us get to know more about
ourselves, and our capacity to do more things.
Due to this pandemic, the future of education has been transformed to accommodate
online classrooms and embrace the digital education. Although the switch to online
class was a bumpy one, both students and teachers have shown greatness of
resilience and perseverance as the education system directs the new normal. With
this, the society will undergo rapid transformation through the sharing of ideas
virtually.
