Before COVID-19 I took necessities like school for granted. I didn’t think about how lucky I was to be playing sports and be going to school until I lost these things.
During COVID-19 I have lost many things like sports and school. I have also found some activities like running and music. This year I have passed the entirety of sports and other outside games with other humans. Toward the start of Coronavirus, everything was dropped and discarded. It was tragic to have this occur and extremely disillusioned. We were without sports for quite a long time which felt longer than that. I have also lost things like spending time with my family. My grandparents are pretty old and so I want to spend as much time with them as I can. Yet I don’t want to get them affected while I visit them. We really wanted to go and visit them; we decided not to.
Something else that has been lost during Coronavirus was school. Online education and this whole COVID-19 was estimated to take place a couple weeks maybe a month at most.After a couple months online school was awful. I was just on the device way too much and it hurt my eyes and head. I needed to get outside. It is difficult to be interested when you could do anything else but school. You could go outside or watch videos or tv shows. It has definitely been a huge change to have to be on the screens that often. It has proven to put me in a bad mood.
In any case, I have discovered a few things as well.I have found that music can motivate me to do stuff and help me focus on one thing whether it is an assignment in school or a long grueling run. Any type of music can be suitable for me. There are certain types like motivational music and happy music. I have also found a love for running. I like to go for runs because it helps me get my mind of items like assignments or sports that are stressful. And it can help me shed off some of the stress that I had. I have also found enjoyment in walking my dog. Now that everyone is inside all day. I realize that I have to maximize the time that I am able to just relax and go for a walk outside.
Before COVID-19 I took necessities like school for granted. I didn’t think about how lucky I was to be playing sports and be going to school until I lost these things. This has really made me think about the next time that I go to school or a practice or game I have to think of just how lucky I am to be doing these things.
