CARIDO, AIRA

It been almost a year since Covid 19 created unpredictable times For all of us.

But a major area of life that has seen significant change is education.

Without a doubt distance has taken some toll on children everywhere.

As a student’s I’ve experience a lot of difficulties during pandemic like financial challenges because my
parent’s job was affected by pandemic so I need to find a temporary job while studying to help my
parents.

Also I suffer lack of sleep and time to answer all the module due to the great number of activities,
distractions and lack of focus.

Each one of these has an effect on the overall quality of modular learning.

I many ways, each of these difficulties relates to others.

To cope up with this difficulties I always motivate myself and think my dream and goal in life.

Also keeping my day withpositivity and connected with others.

CARIDO, AIRISH

The challenges faced by all students everywhere as they navigate this new world are immense.

their flexibility and fortitude as they work out how to learn and to live afresh, in this new set up are
remarkable.

The Covid-19 pandemic left students and learners struggling.

One of my difficulty I faced during pandemic are financial challenges that put my education risking, had
new living preparations that made learning difficult and often lacked the sources essential to even log
onto modular learning.

Also the absence of human interaction and social connectivity, adapting to a changed home
environment, and lastly lack of physical exercise.

I cope up all the changed by believing my self that I can do all because I have goal in life.

I also accept that reality that COVID-19 pandemic is just a struggles on us but I know we can all
overcome it.

I always pray and keeping my self strong.

FERNANDEZ, AYA JULIA

IBEL, JUSTINE

We all experienced a lot of changes during this COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

AS a student I faced the modular classes.
For me this modular classes is so hard.
No teachers that will help me explain and teach me the lessons.
The difficulties/struggles The covid-19 situation is particularly stressful
because its hard to predict how thing will develop and our
circumstances are changing rapidly.
This can leave us feeling powerless, like we’re no longer in control of
our own lives, as is the case in many aspects of our lives,
there are things we can’t control in this situation,
These include the actions and reactions of other people how long the
situation will last, and what might happen in the future.
I have encounter more difficulties how I cope up? More praying.
ILLUSTRISIMO, RIJANE

One of the difficulties that I have experienced now that there is a pandemic is that you have to study in a
modular way, because it is difficult for you to teach yourself the lessons.

You will also teach yourself the lessons how to answer your modules correctly.

There are times when I just cry because I don’t understand the lesson.

but I still try to understand the lesson because I don’t want to drop or drop grades.

There have nothing to answer in the modules if I don’t copy the answer key.

But I don’t always rely on the answer key, I just imitate the answer key when it’s really hard and I don’t
have anything to answer.

There is no one to teach me but me.

I can’t rely on others because this is my module.

Sometimes I try to ask for help but not all the time they help me because even they are struggling.

I always do what I can because I want to pass I want to be able to finish school.

one of the things I do to cope up is to trust myself that I can do it that I can overcome it too, I also pray
to God to give me a smart mind so that I can do everything I am asked to do in the modules I always tell
God “Lord help me to cope I understand the lessons I can answer my modules correctly” and
“strengthen me and all those who have difficulty with the modules.”

there are also times when my head hurts because of the modules almost sometimes as I model the
excessive stress I alway feel that my head hurts more and more.

but always tell myself that finish it too, that I can do it.

I know that I’m not the only one who’s having a hard time, but also my classmates and students like me
who also do self-study.

I can only say that for us to trust in our own ability, let us always pray to God so that He will guide us and
we will not give up.

that’s how you really have to work hard to experience a beautiful life.

It’s hard at first but the time will come when you can say “this is the result of my hardwork” and “this is
the result of me crying in my modules then because I don’t understand” and you can also say to yourself
“I’m proud of myself because I am a responsible student”. “just imagine the consequences of your of
your current suffering in your modules.

that’s what I’m doing and I’m thinking of coping up.

QUINO, WINNELEN

The covid-19 pandemic took the world by surprise.

The challenges that were faced by the Pandemic were dreadful to many.

From Individuals, to business, all the way up to even countries.

As a students, I’ve been encountered a big challenges in this Pandemic.

It is difficult to studying through modular.

Sometimes I felt tired and losing my focus to study.

As a student, participating in the Home learning program, online school was confusing to adjust to as we
had not been prepared through stimulations on practices beforehand.

Normal classes may have been difficult, but having friends makes it so much more manageable and less
stressful. Because, as a students I also missed friends.

But, How did I cope up? I just think positive things and encourage myself that I’m going to overcome
those challenges.

I also prayed before I started to study because nothing is impossible if you come to God and bow down
with a humble heart, and surrender your life to Him.

I didn’t trust my own knowledge, because I’m more trusted in the knowledge that comes from God.

And, though I didn’t meet my friends face to face but I have a best friends that always there for me,
whenever I need Him or not.

He is the best Father, Friend, and He is our Lord.

So, I encourage you to praise our God because He deserveds all the glory.

And this Pandemic, is one of His great Plan.

CARLOS, MARK

Throughout this pandemic, there have been a lot of challenges and difficulties I’ve faced, such as family
problems, depression and anxiety.

Because of that, it gives me an impact to become better today than yesterday, to become greater
tomorrow than today and to become stronger day by day.

It reminds me to step back and always forward in the situation, even if I’m not in good condition.

I use this as motivation and to build up more confidence to face the present.

I want to take to this as a compliment and take this charge to have extra energy.

Throughout this situation, it makes m focus on the pathways that I want to take to a brighter future, and
that’s why I think that I need to be uplifted and to apply through the imperfections of life.

In our current situation, it has changed my whole entire life in different aspects, but what I admire most
about myself is that always look for the brighter side in a situation.

I have learned to be a confident, constant and determined person.

I positively face the struggles each and every single day.

Throughout my story, I want to share with people what I’ve experienced and I want to inspire people
through my story based on my experiences.

I hope a lot of people will do the same in the way that I overcome the difficulties of the pandemic.

I believe in God’s plan, because any problem we face has a purpose, it happens for a reason to become
stronger.
TUMALAC, JULIET LOU

Having a long term Pandemic like the COVID-19 Virus isn’t easy at all and nobody said it was.

There are so many circumstances in our life that wouldn’t have happened because of this sickness.

Our ups and downs became worse that its usually does, a lot of people lost their jobs and some lost their
businesses.

Losing these money making varieties of ours caused anxiety, depression and complete mental
breakdowns; some committed suicide.

Major adjustments and time managements had begun, specially to me, my fellow students and to our
beloved teachers.

The struggle about teaching yourself at home is one of the most hardest adjustments that we need to
comply, because there are no more blackboards where our teachers explain our lessons face to face.

Now, all I can think of is how about the students who doesn’t have enough knowledge to learn by
themselves? How about the students who must cross rivers to come and get their schoolworks? despite
of the danger.

Coping with this situation took time for me, we can’t always answer all of our nodules according to its
schedule.

We’ve got chores to do at our own homes, we can’t deny the fact that we almost cried because of the
hard time trying to understand each and every sentences, paragraphs and equations that is written on
our school works.

But I found hope and hope found me in trusting myself everytime I hold my pen towards the paper, I
would say to myself that “This is one of the only ways for me to aim for my/our dreams”, avoiding
cramming and most importantly seeking help from our Highest Creator.

He won’t put you in the situation you are in now if you don’t have the courage to overcome it, and He
knows that you can!

All we need to do is trust in his plans, His actions and His love for His people, for us.
REPOPONIO, MARICAR

During this time of pandemic i have encountered many lots of difficulties in life.

Like for example the online learning o modular,

this kind of studying was very difficult specially to those students in higher levels, and for me this is also
difficult because i haven’t try before a home study

Yes I’ve tried self study but not all the time why i treat it like one of the hardest situation i’ve
encountered because theirs so many thing that we need to adjust,

we have to do all the activity early because we have deadline or passings the module, and other
students is not learning from the modules because their answer is defend on what will right at the back
or in the answer keys,

sometimes I feel not good for online/modular learning cause sometimes it’s the reason why other
students got suicide, other are having anxiety because of stressed in their modules,

i know its also helpful because even though its hard but atleast we also learn from the modules if we
take it seriously,

I also encountered difficult thing to avoid many students during this pandemic its online games specially
to those younger childrens who playing this game because other students got addicted its because of it,
and also difficult thing I found out is following the rules of wearing facemask/faceshield in every
barangas

i have notoce that people not wearing their when go out or when they leave their house,

this things is not a struggle to us, following the rules are not struggle the struggle is when you have a
virus your going to far with your family and also difficult to your healt and also during this pandemic
many people are struggling because their stop to their jobs,

other is lost their jobs Its also struggle to the family who suffiring with covid-19,

their so many family who lost their love ones because of this pandemic, specially to our front liner who
rest their lifes to help our country,

even though this pandemic is so big, God is Bigger so he can help us, he knows all the struggle and
challenges we had right now, the things that were going to do is we pray.

for our country we prayed for the protection of our family and for the protections of all frontliners, even
pandemic can’t drug as down.

we prayed for our self and for the other people who strugglings in this pandemic, this pandemic is the
very hardest challenges we had right now but we can avoid it, and sooner all well be going to normal,
that’s all Thank You!
NURI, APPRILYN

All people is affected of pandemic, nobody can say it is easy.

Even our economy is affected too.

everyone is suffering, as a student how can I learn without a teacher?,

Yes! I have parents but they have a job,

They are always busy.

Sometimes I feel laziness to answering my module when I can’t understand the lesson.

Then sometimes the Internet connection is poor, when I need to search something about to lesson and I
feel disappointment because not all information is true.

Then the influence of people around me, they encourage me to play mobile legend with them or go
anywhere.

Sometime I feel fairful if this pandemic cannot done I know all of us felt that.

Then I imagined what happen to my dream? How can I achieve it?.

Although all of us imagined it but I believe everyone has a dream, everyone has a goal we all wat to
achieve, what we want no matter how hard it is.
QUIJANO, JOHN RICK

I encountered that i can’t go anywhere without wearing a facemask, that we must do.

And we can’t find a good work because of this pandemic.

Our parents can’t find a good work because of this case of pandemic. We should follow the healthy
protocols by wearing a facemask and face shield and always bring an alcohol or sanitizing cleaner.

Always wash our hand do social distancing.

FERNANDO, MARY GRACE

During this pandemic everyone encountered different difficulty bat mine was being a student

it is so hard to study by yourself.

No teacher whos going to explain the lesson when i don’t get it and no classmates who wan to share
some memories together.

As a high school student, I want to experience those moments that everyone keeps on saying that high
school life is the happiest part as a student but sadly this pandemic affect everything that will fulfill that i
dream of, i keep on telling on myself that it is just a challenge that i need to face and surfaces because I
have a dream and idont want to keep on living like this, I want more and i will do my very best just to
make all of my dreams to happen.
GAHOSTA, ROSALIE

During pandemic, their so many problems that we encounter

One of them are the financial it really hard to get a work because of lockdown or ecq.

We need to stay at home for our safety but thank god they will never never leave us

we always need to have social distancing of our safety but i’m still believe the one day it will end and
everything will be back again.
MICLAT, MIRASOL

By this time of pandemic we are all had been affected, I know that most of us wanted change but I think
that this change is it just right.

New way of life that no one had wished for.

New way of life, and specially a new way of learning.

A new way of learning which I think one of the hardest thing that I forced this pandemic as and
individual.

First of all, I am not a fast learner that I think it might be one of the main reason why I am struggling in
terms of my studies.

It will never be easy for a person like me.

This might be hard but I am doing it not only for my self but also to every person.

Who’s always in my side.

who believed in me specially my family.

I have a goal, and this goal would never happen if I do not strive hard.

One day I’ll prove to every one that I can and I did it.
DAGARAGA,KENNETH

This Covid 19 pandemic are resulting economic crisis, also left students an struggle and many challenges
in studying specially those who are in online classes and moduling.

Pandemic also brings us difficulties in travelling specially we minors, and meeting our relatives,

we cannot hold an event no matter how large and small it is, even my birthday too.

I hope with it is first trusting our Almighty God and follow protocols like wearing face mask and face
shields and washing hands.

GEMINA, ETHEL

This pandemic I changing the lives of people especially young people like us.

I start it with our my experience as a student

it is hard for me to adjust in school like our situation today

sometimes we don’t even understand what we’re reading in the module even our parent can’t explain
it.

We don’t even internet connection to search but then we have too go with the flow.

we have to survive like others.

Meanwhile pandemic affects our emotional and mental health because we are always thinking about
the thinking that could happen to us if we don’t have money to support our need.

Most of all it also affect our financial needs.

it is difficult for my mother to sell outside because of the situation.

Amids of pandemic we have to cope with this we have to we have to be strong and most of all pray to
almighty God heal the world.
DIAMA, KATE IRISH

There are many difficulties that i have encountered during the Covid 19 pandemic

one of that is no face o face classes, not allowed to go out and going to mall because you can exposed to
the virus and it is possible to be infected to the virus.

At the family level, the pandemic has led to a reorganization of everyday life.

All family member shave to cope with the stress of quarantine and social distancing.

I faced and think that this challenge have a reason why God gave this to us.

I cope up this pandemic to take care of myself, eat regularly, exercise Sleep enough and reduce all other
sources of stress.

Do things that give you back the control your own life.

Dedicate time to activities that improve your mood.

That can be listening to music, film, a good book, a hobby you haven’t had time before.
ABRINA, JUNIEL

I have encountered during there of pandemic is difficulties of studying,

pandemic can be streesped.

The corona vines deseane 2019 (covid-19) pandemic may be stressful for people.

Gear and anxiety about a new disease and what could happen can be over whelmig and cause strong
emotions in adult and children.

Public health actions such as spcial distancing, can make people feel isonted and lonely and can increase
stress and anxiety.

the over, there actions are inecessary to reduce the spread of Covid-19.

Coping with stress in a health way will makes you, the people you case about, and your community

crisis and uncertainly.
AQUINO, MARY ROSE

We are all experiencing hard times in our life, but pandemic made it harder.

This system made me realize and made me see a lot of things in life.

I have difficulties in managing my time although I’m only a students but eventually I’m a student and a
daughter that commits everyday.

My life during this pandemic is like a planner

a lot of things planned and schedule but I’m having a hard time doing it and making it happen.

I’m so unmotivated and unproductive lately.

I have this thought always in my mind the pressure and badly wanting to grow faster and earn my own
money but I don’t this is the right time for me and I accept that.

My was suffering a lot, yes a lot I know her very well even though she is not vocal about it.

she’s suffering but she manage to endure the pain and I’m so greatful to have her as my mama.

I know everyone was having difficult life right now but for me who is patiently waiting and praying that
this shall to pass.

loping up in many ways or even in little things will make me feel better and happy in life.

I’m enjoying and embracing the life and I have realized that sticking and being with my family in hard
times will give me in comfort and peace.

Enjoying the moments in life will fil us in times of difficulties believe me or not but for me I know that
God will and this happenings soon I always trust his process and time of healing.
MAGBANUA, GABRIEL

The difficulties that I encountered during this pandemic is being not able to go outside as much as I did
before the pandemic because our local government said that the people of our city is prohibited from
going outside to control the spread of the virus.

Another problem that I personally encountered is not being able to breath easily because of the face
mask but even if I wanted to take it off I had no choice but to endure it because taking off our mask can
lead to being fined with a ticket and a considerable amount of money.

Another problem that I encountered during this pandemic is I find it hard to study because our modular
lessons.

But that is probably due to the sudden change of pace and I find it more motivating If school was face to
face.

Another problem that I encountered during this pandemic is that I became lazy because I got got used
being at home all the time.
LAGRIMAS, JOHN CARL

MABUNGA, SHEENA QUIN

In this pandemic we have all suffered, changed and been scared.

And one that I am here I have experienced the fear that maybe when I feel bad I will test positive on the
swab test.

We also had an intense test where my mom tested positive in the swab test last year.

That she was quarantined for 14 days and we did not approach her.

I was very sad because of what happened to my mom.

But I accompanied it with intense prayer and faith in God, mama was cured of his contagious disease.

We were all doubly careful and never left the house too much if there was nothing important to buy.

A also had a hard time adjusting because our study was no longer face to face, we didn’t really
understand the lesson compared to when there was no pandemic.

I overcame all of this because of my faith in God and adherence to enforced protocols.

It may be initiative but it must be followed for the good of each of us.
