MY EXPERIENCE
DURING
PANDEMIC

Reading and Writing Skills

 I still remember the first time
I heard the news about the Covid
coronavirus from a friend and I can still
remember what I felt that time, nervousness
and excitement. I fell nervous of the fact that it can kill
people, excited because it's like same of the movies I wat
-ched never expecting to happen in real life. It was wednes
-day when are classes are suspended because our teachers
has a meeting, my classmate and I has a lot of plans, we planned
to go out, travel and visit some beautiful places here in Sorsogon
and Legazpi. . We are clueless that, that will be the last time we're
seeing each other because as things go on Thursday our school
announced that we are no longer allowed to go to school. Well
at first we feel happy about it because that means we are going
to have a long vacation and we are all excuse in our exami
nation. But as the time passes by we slowly realize how
things is serious.
On the first 3 months of Pandemic my family
and I are trapped in my friend's house in Balo
-go as a result of sudden lockdown, that's when
President Duterte announced the suspension of
all the travel. Our heart are filled with fear,stress, tense, anxiety and
sadness. My brother are left in hour house in Juban he was alone and he
do not have enough money to sustain himself. Everyday was distress
-ful, we are all shocked and angst especially my mother and aunt, we
keep worrying on what will happen in the future. On April one of the
most important person in my life got positive on Covid-19, the moment
I received the news it was one of the most unforgettable minute in my
life. It's also the time I realized how I love him, thinking about his
situation put me in anguish. I cried every night and day, I sometimes
escape meals and
my family witnessed it. I asked for the church leaders to
pray for his recovery, I too prayed for him and
glory to God he answered
my prayers.
This pandemic greatly impact my life as a student
and I'm not happy with the changes it brings. Last
year was full of disapointment I'm not convinced
with the grading system of my school also the
situation had cause procastination among the students
including me. I have a lot of regrets, things I should
have done in the past, like joining school
competitions because everytime my teacher asked me
to join one I always answer them that I will join next
year. This pandemic really taught me the importance
of time, don't do it tomorow if you can do it now.
There is a time in my life during pandemic which I
think I will never forget. That time is when we faced
great misery, we nearly lost our house, my brother
was put in jail onced which caused shame in our
family, my father was hunted by military because of
false accusation, I was left by the man I love and
more terribly I was abused inside our house. It was
hard to face those problems, I can not describe how
hurted I am. But I’m grateful to God that He all
resolved it like a miracle, truely nothing is impossible
with Him.
God really has a purpose for everything, He
has reasons why He let this happen and I am
very grateful to him. My mom is such a
workaholic person and the situation give her a
lot of time to rest. I am not closed with my
family considering I rather spend my time at
school or outings than being at home but this
pandemic had opened a door for a stronger
relationship between us. He teaches me a lot of
lessons making me grown up. Most importantly
I get involved in God's ministry and I can say
that my life is better now compared before.
