 IMAGINE THIS

The COVID-19 pandemic that started two years ago

resulted in an abrupt shift in the mode of instruction in
schools. Since people had to be confined in their homes to
follow strict isolation measures, educational institutions
resorted to online learning. This method eliminated the
human connection that face-to-face teaching setup offers.
Also, this approach may have caused learners to feel
isolated during their learning process, increasing their
chances of experiencing stress, frustration, and anxiety.
Learners may have even gone through questioning their
intellectual capacities during this period.

Today, I had difficulty managing my

anger and started throwing things.
When I finally calmed down, I
realized that I was a stubborn,
spoiled brat. If I wished to get things
my way, I could have brought my
idea into a discussion. This way, I
would feel more satisfied with the
output.
