Change Sucks, Live Beyond It
Covid-19 was a joke. I remember sitting in class and everyone would joke about how this
little disease would become eradicated quickly; however, it became very real as our school shut
down on March 13th. I will not forget the rainy day we were left with that day as I wandered
around my school seeing how shocked everyone was. Now, this led to what we’re all living and
dreading right now, quarantine. If you’re like me and many others, you don’t find this lock down
appealing in the slightest, in fact, you want society to return to the norm. Many, see this
unprecedented moment in history as something that will tear the world apart; but, there are still
many benefits to this quarantine despite the great boredom it brings into our lives. For instance,
we’re able to have more family time, something we take for granted in life. Although it may
seem like too much family time, it’ll probably be the only time in your life that you’ll ever be
able to have a chance to bond with your family members. Not only that, it’s a great time to
explore hobbies, learn something new you’ve never gotten the time to do, or discover more about
yourself. Change is still something that is seen as a tough hurdle for people, no one likes it.
Living differently affects everyone, no one likes a sudden change from their comfortable
lives. The impact of the disease had its negatives with shutting down many businesses and
shoving people into their homes for extended periods of times; yet, there are many wonderful
things occurring around the world. We’re seeing that animals are returning to their homes to live,
new scientific discoveries being made in the medical world, and new ways of solving our
problems. We’re humans at the end of the day and we were built to work beyond changes in our
lives. Despite businesses going bankrupt as well as schools, we’re seeing people adapt to the
internet through e-commerce and building academies in replacement of huge universities. People
have been shoved into the digital world and are adapting to it, finding creative ways to keep
entertained and continue their work. I truly feel that Covid-19 has made everyone realize that
they took everything in life for granted, not realizing the transience of the beauty woven into life.
Quarantine has its downside too and what I encountered during this event was, I saw the
slow deterioration of my mental health of mine occur. I was losing hope and the light insinuating
possibility in my dreams dimmed. Quarantine made me realize how weak of an individual I am
as each day passed on and it felt as if I lived the same everyday. This in turn, made me compare
myself to others and wonder why can’t I be as great as them or think that I won’t succeed in life.
I grew tired of this feeling as a month passed by, so I pushed for change. I watched plenty of
videos to build a foundation of what I wanted to do with my life and I started with exercise to
build my mental strength. My dream is to inspire people so I chose to start running and forming
this strong mental fortitude that could overcome any obstacle thrown at me. I did more research
on life and how the body functions and why we think the way we think. I turned the tables on my
problems and rekindled the flame I called possibilities. Quarantine has taught me that despite
how bad of a situation life may put you in, there’re always solutions waiting to be made and you
have the ability to see beyond the circumstance and exceed the limitations.

I wanted to briefly touch on the pros and cons of the Covid-19 outbreak. I feel that people are centered on the negatives and I want to shine light on bright side of the event. Further, I wanted to share my experience with the virus and how it has affected me. #GGHSAPUSH
