YOUR LIVES, ON HOW

YOU COPE WITH THE
NEW NORMAL
 MY LIFE DURING THE NEW NORMAL

When the news spread out about Covid-19 everyone had no idea what to do,
everyone started adjusting. It is very difficult because this is not the life we
lived. Where the old life where we can do everything without fear,
everything can be done. Because of this pandemic many lost their jobs,
many establishments closed. As a student I also struggled at first especially
in online classes. It is difficult because you have to be patient just to be able
to catch up with the lessons given by your professors/instructors, be able to
submit a tasks on time.
 MY LIFE DURING THE NEW NORMAL

More than half a year of coping with these new normal, I am gradually
accepting the situation thinking on how hard it is for us to just stay at our
respective homes just for us to safe. Aside from that, there is a lot of things
I’ve learned. In almost six months I have been at home, I have thought of
planting plants and vegetables so that in case they bear fruits you do no have
to buy them from the store.

A month later, my crops were

already bearing fruit. It feels good
to stay at home but you did
something. As the saying goes,
‘’when something is planted there is
a harvest’’ and I will continue
fertilize it.

Not just by planting vegetables, I also sell

snacks with my cousin. I am doing this if I have
no class. It is difficult to stay at home without
doing anything, especially now that you have to
be more productive with everything because
nothing will happen to you when you are just
staying at home. Even though we are selling we
follow the protocol, we wear facemask and we
also have alcohol for our safety.
 MY LIFE DURING THE NEW NORMAL

Because of this pandemic, I had a lot of time with my family. We better understand each
other and talk about things that never cross our minds. We were able to focus on each other
and our family became stronger.
But whatever the world is going through right now let us believe that this situation we are
facing is just a temporary one. All we need is to have faith and pray that the world may
healed and goes back as what is used to. Let us also ask from him to guide and give the
wisdom and courage that our frontliners needed for every step of their way to slowly
eliminate the virus. Lastly, for us, human to be considered as a productive member of the
society may we also give our parts and take responsibilities even in a simplest way of
showing humanity and by simply staying at our home that’s more than enough, we can
always remember a simple thing/doing can lead to a path that we may not have taken.
