As I sit here thinking about what I am going to write, despite all of the devastating negative impacts COVID-19 has made in some people's lives, lots of positive thoughts come to my mind from this pandemic.

This is because being locked up for the past month has felt more like a holiday than a global pandemic. Although it can get boring being locked in my home all of the time, I have realised how nice it has been to spend time with my family, try new things and to just relax.

When COVID-19 first started I was very worried about what was going to happen because my mum is a front-line health care worker and could potentially be with people that have Coronavirus. This terrified me because I didn’t know what was going to happen.

It is so good to see the support, love and kindness everyone is showing through these tough times, and it shows how much we can accomplish by working together. Think about this time as an opportunity to help others and to reflect on how we can make this world a better place. Because who knows what's going to happen next.
