EIE for STS JANUARY 28

Topic: What has been the effect of this pandemic to your overall well-being?

It has been almost 2 years since the Covid-19 Virus attacked humanity. I can still remember
the time when we were told that the quarantine would only last for a month. Classes from all
levels are suspended and establishments had to close temporarily. We enjoyed the first few days
of quarantine as if we were on a vacation. Without knowing that it was just the beginning of our
worst nightmare.

  After several months, I was slowly experiencing the effect of this pandemic on my overall well-
being. I gradually miss the feeling of going to school every day. I am getting bored because we
should stay at home to avoid the spread of the virus. I feel sad because I and my classmates were
not able to attend face-to-face classes where we could learn academically. I am feeling downcast
because I couldn’t go out of the house. I couldn’t hang out with my friends and go to the places
that I like.

  In addition, during the pandemic, I am literally broken inside because due to the pandemic, my
parents could not earn enough money to provide for our daily needs. It is so devastating to the
point that I couldn't focus on my classes. All I think about is how are we going to survive through
the day. I couldn’t do anything to help them. 

However, as time goes by, everything was getting better. My parents were able to work again,
although there is still the threat of the virus. I know that the existence of the virus has made us
suffer. But, I am quite glad that we were all required to stay at home up until now. It’s because
we were all able to calm our bodies and minds from all of the stress we’ve been under.
