COVID-19 distance
learning/Safer at Home order has affected me in many ways. Some good aspects of this
experience include: Having more time to relax throughout the day and make good
use of time to refresh or “sharpen the saw” as suggested by Sean Covey in the Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens. I have been spending lots of time with my family, and have more time to
practice my hobbies, like practicing the piano. In this special time, I have discovered that music has a healing miracle for people of all ages. Since social distancing started back in March, I have been video call my grandma and play piano for her every day. By listening to my singing and playing the piano, she enjoys the power of music. The happier she is, the stronger her immune system will be. Playing piano brings me peace of mind, just like what Walt Disney once said, “Why worry? If you’ve done the very best you can, worrying won’t make it any better.”
However, every coin has
two faces. Since all homework is now online, I have a little too much
screen-time. Also, distance learning lacks the everyday engagement and
participation found in all classrooms. Our family is very lucky because we can work from home, but many others may have to work at the frontlines
or have lost their jobs. I hope they are safe and healthy, and the economy can
bounce back soon. I do miss school and can't wait for school to open again.
