DARK YEAR

 

 

      "A nightmare happened."

When I was in grade 9, something happened that I didn't expect or that we didn't expect: a pandemic happened, it spread all over the world, everyone was affected, and everyone had a hard time, including me.

 Everything changed; everything in our surroundings became our enemy because of this disease called Corona virus, or COVID-19.

 This virus affects the education of every student in our country, making it difficult for them, including me.

Modular learning is implemented to continue education, but this situation puts a lot of stress on most of the students. Elementary, high school, and college students are experiencing stress, depression, and anxiety caused by this "new normal" education system.

I was also one of those students who struggles and affects academic performance. I lost motivation to do everything that I must do; I was lost; I became unproductive; I didn't explore myself more that time; I settled myself in a place where I knew loneliness would only manipulate me, but isolating myself also gave me peace of mind because I could not hear everyone's voice, including the voice of the cruel world.

 Being a student at this time was not easy; adjusting to a very new and chaotic environment could affect everything, not just my academic performance but also my personal life.

 But despite this experience in my very own journey, it taught me a lot of lessons in life. As I said in my previous post, we can go through things that we never expected or planned to happen, but they have a purpose.
