Hello ladies and gentlemen!

Before I elaborate my own speech about my personal view about the pandemic era, let me introduce
myself first, my name is Mutiara Anjani Putri Nugraha from class 2SA07 majoring English Literature of
Gunadarma University.

As we all know, nowadays our world is attack by the COVID-19 disease, we’re still in the pandemic era
since march of 2020 when the first case of COVID-19 was announced in Indonesia, therefore it almost
two years that we should greatly restricted our activities outside the home. It such the hard
circumstance for almost all of people around the world, we can’t go outside freely without feeling
afraid because of the virus, some of people should loss their jobs it made them had economy crisis in
their family.

For the students who should stay studying at home, it’s not that easily due to the reason we just to
join the class by the virtual it made some of class not that effectively, some students feel tough
because they couldn’t maximal attended the learning process as well, as the result it made them
frustrated couldn’t participate in the class as well. The affect of the pandemic it’s not just about the
material or as physically, but there are the affect as the psychologically. Can you imagine? We should
stare at the same walls for each day and it almost two years, it made some of those felt anxious and
overthink. There so many losses, sorrow, and mess as the affect of pandemic.

However, if we try to see the pandemic from other perspective, the pandemic not only affected the
mess. As my point of view, the pandemic era really taught me a lot of lessons. For instance, due to
pandemic it was taught me which we couldn’t control everything in this world, we just need to try our
best in every moment of our life and expect for the best one, however in fact there are so many
things that are not align as we expected before. It might feel sucks and unfair but, we need to know
that as a human we don’t have to control all things in this world, because only God who knows what
the best result for our self.

There are so many plans should be buried, it’s not just because we want to give up. However, we
need to find another way to reach our dreams. There’s no fail for those who never surrender for
everything that happened in their life, sometimes we need to take a break and backwards but it’s not
for yield, but need to recreate our new plans in the other way. The pandemic taught to survive even
when we feel in the dark clouds, we need just believe there’s always has a light for those who never
give up in their life.

The pandemic has significance to appreciate our relationship with other, sometimes people couldn’t
respect people who always around them, due to the pandemic when everything’s tough to meet
people even our extended family it made people recognize the encounter with people is really
valuable.

Due to the pandemic, it made us to spend more time with family. There so many activities we should
doing outside the house, such as school, work, hang out with friend, appointment with the colleagues.
The various activities which make us less the time to enjoy the leisure time with our family, as the
result of the pandemic we have more time at home it made us too closer and enjoy the time with our
family.

As my personal view, the pandemic era gave me so much life lessons. Something doesn’t always look
terrible, when we try to see from another perspective and gain the wisdom from everything that
happened in our life. So, that’s all my own personal view about the pandemic era, I hope we could be
patient and take the wisdom for all of things. I’m truly sorry if I made the mistaken in my own speech,
i hope this pandemic era could be over quickly. Please be healthy and be safe, I’m Mutiara and thank
you for your attention.
