Dear diary,
So far 2020 has been the toughest year of my life. What I thought was going to be a new experience, mainly because of a new school, new friends, new teachers and new subjects, was very different to what i had imagined. This goes to show that life teaches you the lesson to learn to trust the journey, even when you do not understand it.
At first the news about coronavirus took me by surprise. I felt like a wave of resentfulness was washed upon, due to the news. I had just bonded with friends, I had just gotten used to high school life, but then Covid 19 forced us to stay indoors.
The trip to America where we were going to see our cousins for the first time in 8 years was cancelled. My public speaking competition was cancelled, IMP was cancelled, debating you name it. But after a while it made me realise how selfish i was being. People out there who are all alone trapped inside their doors. Like senior citizens, nurses and doctors and even my grandma.
This is the time where i decided to spend time with my family more. Although my parents were busy with work and my brothers were spending every second of their time gaming (until they were told off), I was blessed to have a family to be stuck inside with. Even though covid 19 was definitely not a good thing to happen to our world, it made my family closer together then we would ever be. But knowing Australia, knowing the world, and how good we are at rising above problems, I know we will get through this together and it won’t be the end of our world.
