Locked Up

 I was in 7th grade when Covid-19 started to become a thing. We were all clueless, innocent, confused, and scared. Who would've thought that the 2 weeks of no classes became 2 years of not going to school? At first, I was okay with it because I knew for a fact that it was for our own safety. Not until lots of months have passed. 

    As time went by, I started feeling lonely. Being locked up at home, not being able to go out made me feel that way. I wasn't able to meet my friends nor my other relatives, because the risk of going out was very scary. Whenever I talked to them, facing my phone was quite sad, wishing that it was them in front of me. But still, I am thankful because without our modern technology I wouldn't be able to see them virtually. 

    With my cellphone as my companion, downloading and playing online games were my only escape. Because of online games, I was able to get close with my current friends. Playing with


them was really fun, because we made lots of laughs and it really helped me forget all the pressure and problems I was dealing with. Being locked up during a pandemic was really sad, but I am thankful for having them in my life. Without my friends, my pandemic life would've been miserable. 


I will forever be grateful for having the nicest and the best people around me. :)

2nd Phase

 The second quarter of this academic year was really challenging after surviving the first. Compared to the first one, it was very different. I felt that our lessons were a little more difficult to comprehend. I have to be honest and say that I haven't been performing well in some topics, possibly due to a lack of comprehension and concentration. However, attending class was still a lot of fun.  This 2nd quarter, I have felt how deep our responsibilities as students are.  We had a lot of activities to make, and projects we should finish. We had sleepless nights finishing our research, but, we survived. With our exams coming up, I know that it will be much tougher this time, but I know that we'll be able to pull it through again. We survived the 1st quarter, and I know that we'll survive 2nd quarter and the upcoming quarters much better than we did with the 1st one.  This is still the second phase; it could be difficult, but we must all be patient and try our best.
