COVID-19 has had a major impact on my life throughout my high school years. Such as death, my mental health and learning skills. COVID-19 is one of the most horrific experiences I have witnessed in my years. This tragedy has cost many casualties in my life. During the time we were released from school my mom, my sister and I all had caught COVID-19 twice. My mom being a nurse was a very difficult job for her to keep her household safe from this virus. We tried our best to stay clean and safe. However after all the effort we still caught the virus. After a month of Quarantining my beloved dog died from COVID-19. He was six years old and was the best thing that happened to me. I felt dreadful and angry at the world for letting this happen. Still I continued to try and look at life as a blessing but, 2 weeks later my grandmother died. The pain I felt was unbearable. My grandmother was my only friend. She was one of a kind. I threw myself away and became very depressed. I can’t eat or sleep. The two people that meant the world to me had just passed and I couldn’t do anything about it. Going into my Junior year my grades began to drop. I could not focus or understand the skills that were being given to me. I had missed a lot of learning skills from the previous year. I was worried about my future career as a veterinarian. I told myself “this shall pass” . I talked to my teacher’s about my loss in my family. They guided me through my tough times and I was more successful in school than I could imagine. I came out to be an Honor roll student. COVID-19 has and always will have an extreme brunt impact on my life but, everyone has struggles. It is up to them to make the most of it. My lost loved ones will forever be in my heart.
