Question

In two paragraphs explain what have you learned about yourself while in quarantine?

Answer 1

Quarantine has really been a sudden change for everyone, it’s something our generation never even imagined we would experience. There have been many challenges for everyone, including myself. In these last couple months I’ve had many challenges, the first being away from my friends. I’m a very social person who relies a lot on my friends for my mental health and being an extrovert isn’t helping me at all in quarantine. These two months have made me want adventure and fun times more than I already did before and to be honest, I really just want to see my friends. During this time I’ve had so much time to think about what I’m missing out on. I’m missing out on the excitement of the end of the year, the traditions I’ve had with my friends, and much more. It’s weird, I’m still in the mindset from two months ago, I don’t feel like school is ending, I don’t feel like its summer. Also, when quarantine started I had no motivation, I slept in a lot and I missed a lot of my classes, it really does show what quarantine did to my mental health. Everything feels like its flying by so fast, yet moving so slowly at the same time.
Though things have been tough, there have been many good things that have come out of this for me. The first being, I have a sleep schedule now. During the school year, I was getting up at ____, staying at school until ____ and then going home and doing homework, it really wasn’t fun, I would end up going to school tired and I wouldn’t learn anything, I would just slave away but now that it is quarantine, I can wake up at a regular time. Now I have time for my hobbies, I’m actually starting to buy stuff and —-insert hobby—! I’m also —-another hobby—- and —-hobby—- now and then. Quarantine has actually not been that bad, because of it I’ve been more on top of my classes, I’ve been focusing more on my mental health, and I’m feeling much better compared to when school was actually in session.
