New Beginning

Overcoming the challenges

It has been 2 years since Covid-19 came and changed our lives, and getting us used to a new living comes with so many challenges. Hi, I am Alliyah. 14 years old and now a Grade 10 Special Science Class Student of ISNHS. We all know that the effects of the pandemic really changes us physically, emotionally, mentally and the way we think or our mindset. 

For the whole 2 years, we were really scared to go out because we were afraid to catch a Covid-19 disease. That is why we choose to stay at home and study at home. Without hesitations, the pandemic really caused us a hard time and gave us so many hardships in our lives. A lot changed including our mode of academic learning. It was indeed a surprise to be lock downed for just 2 weeks that became 2 years. As a matter of fact the way I live also change. At first, I really had difficulties coping-up with everything, learning from home was so hard. Sometimes, there were moments I felt so low and lonely. Being alone as time flies, I realized that this feeling was a state of my mind. Wherein I am facing so much pressure, problems and hardships. With this mind, I allowed myself to be controlled by it without noticing that my cousins are with me. I was too busy-thinking of my social life. In fact, I really have hard time interacting to others, social anxiety has been attacking me lately. 

But it always up to me how to see things that makes me happy and contented. Apparently, one must have to look in all directions accept positively what is happening around in order to find beauty in life amidst the pandemic.
