I don't think a pandemic needs an introduction. This is a pandemic which has made everyone scared and traumatized. This pandemic is due to Covid 19 or coronavirus.
In the beginning, when this pandemic was introduced many people thought it was just something like a flu. But if they knew that their lives would be changed in a way that has both advantages and disadvantages, maybe they would have paid more attention to it in the beginning.
The same happened with me. It was time for the final exam. I was at the age of 9-10. As it is with all the kids, I was very nervous and scared. I was also very happy that I would get to go home faster. What can we do? I was just a kid. I used to enjoy every second. That was when this covid was introduced. My mom and dad told me to wear a mask and carry a sanitizer. I agreed and took my mask and sanitizer. It was fun to show off my sanitizer to my classmates. And the mask. They used to go in the school wearing masks and would remove it as soon as they reached the classroom. But now in this pandemic, we have to be scared to never go out. Since the epidemic started to take people's lives, a lockdown happened. Ig was a new word for all of us. Not only that, we also learned new words like quarantine, isolation etc. Well guess that's an advantage. We didn't need to worry that there would be a lot of advantages.
First of all, online classes. Second of all symptoms. There were very bad symptoms. Fever, body ache, cough, Oh it was so bad. People also died because there was no vaccine then. But then again look at the bright side. I got to know a lot about my family. Not only my family but also me. Yes, it turns out all this time I was lying to myself about what I liked about myself. I thought that badminton was not fun. Turns out it was all due to my environment because after my father taught me how to play badminton, I can play hours of badminton.
Overall, life in this pandemic was both good and bad for me.
