Based upon the article when the Covid-19 begin and spread all over the world it made a great impact on the lives of everyone especially the
students. The Government and President Rodrigo Duterte did not concur with the reopening of the school year of other countries which
further caused the existence of a crisis in our country at these times. This crisis caused some difficulties for the parents of how will day
handle to buy the needs of their family as well as the child’s education because as we all know not everyone has the same status in life. In
addition, one of those affected by this pandemic is students wherein it also mentioned in the article that some students said that they miss the
former educational system where they are more active and learned a lot which is no longer like the situation today. However, despite the
struggles that the students encounter they still trying to keep up with others and find a motivation to continue though it’s difficult for them
because not every student is a fast learner. Moreover, as long as this situation continues it will be more difficult for all of us of how we will
survive and overcome all the challenges that this pandemic brought to each of us.If nothing is done, our country will suffer much more and
more people will die as a result of this disease. Our administration must promptly resolve the situation so that no one suffers and everything
returns to normal. Then, when everything is fine, many will be able to reclaim their jobs and, more importantly, they will be able to study
well because others are unable to do so because there is no internet or a weak signal, causing others to be late for classes. If everything goes
well, we will also require the likes because it is our way, and it is still better when our teacher is present.It's really pleasant to be with us in
the real school because they are our second parents, they are the ones who guide our mistakes, and that's also where we learned to be decent
people. End this pandemic, let the government function smoothly, and don't let them corrupt the people's money; they are making our
country even more miserable with their actions. The only thing we can do is pray to our Lord, and he will guide us in the right direction.
