Our family Experiences during Lockdowns
I and my family try to be calm about this present situation as if it’s just a
normal day. We can do nothing with it, because it’s already an actual scenario, so
we just need to deal with it. To become a responsible citizen in this time of crisis,
we contribute by staying at home and by applying the proper hygiene practices,
especially proper hand washing during critical times. Because of the quarantine, I
and my family realized that family matters. It taught us that having quality time
with our family is very important. We now starting to understand each other better
though we some have indifferences – better relationships among family members
are being developed by us. We also realized that material things don’t matter at this
period, and we learned how to humble ourselves.
To be honest, our country is doing well when it comes to the pandemic, or at
least on the outside. We

many events and activities but had to cancel them. The challenges that come from
this is for the country. These challenges are ones that we, as a nation, as a world,
will have to work together on. Multiple countries are affected and it is now a global
effort to stop this issue. Now for the gifts, I believe that these are gifts from God.
First of all, the leaders of the countries are doing their best to help their country.
Other gifts are the brave front liners, everyday people who became heroes due to
their vital roles in this issue. The last gifts are us, us who are aware and are trying to
help, in whatever way we can to solve this problem. These gifts basically ensure us a
bright future because we now know that we can do it. That we can solve any
problem as long as we work together and do our best. I feel like us Filipinos should
learn from this issue by learning responsibility. This issue caused a lot of people to
step up, to do better and to be more responsible. I hope that we can get through this
issue, but I also hope that we can learn from it. I hope that everyone can use this
pandemic as a reminder, not only as a reminder to keep safe and practice good
hygiene, but also a reminder that we, as humans are one. We are all family, and
whenever there is a problem, we can get through it as one.
