I'm not sure that everything happens for a reason, but I do believe everything happens on its own time.

We had planned to welcome my mom to the US 2 weeks before my estimated due date. But, my mom came on March 10th at 6 pm, my son came out on March 11th at 5.22 pm. So, she was on time.

My son came out on March 11th, on March 12th the hospital limited visitors due to the first COVID spread-out. We got lucky, my husband and my mom were with me. If he came 1 day later, no one allowed to get inside with me. So, my son was on time too.

I had been through a lot of trouble during my pregnancy, and my son Alex is a miracle baby. Now he is my main power for everything I'm doing.

It has been so long since the last time I was a student. Who knows that I'm going to be a student again?

Study for me is not easy, especially now we have to study on Zoom, and I have a little tail running around me.

And yes, homework and assignment. To be honest, I'm struggling to keep things on time.

But, "Hard work always pays off, whatever you do" (Dustin Lynch). So I do believe my future will be brighter than my present.

Before and now, due to the pandemic, everything has changed.

# data[].attributes.body
Before the pandemic, I work 6 days per week. But now I can work for only 3 days per week. The income became lower but the bills are the same, we are trying to save money as much as possible.

Before COVID, me and my husband, we sometimes treated ourselves by a pretty fancy meal in restaurant, go out for a movie night or something. No more for now.

# data[].attributes.body
And because of the COVID, we rarely go out. Even though I want my son to enjoy the air, but besides I don't want any risk to happen to him.

# data[].attributes.body
Currently, for most of the time of the day if I'm not working, I'm just staying home for taking care of my son, and to study while he sleeps. Hopefully the pandemic will end soon.

Even though most of the things are bad because of COVID, but there are still some things that I hope will not change moving forward.

# data[].attributes.body
The first thing is to study on Zoom. I know there are some classes that required face-to-face study. But for other classes, study on Zoom really a good deal. It helps to save time (to travel) and money (parking fee, gas,...).

The second thing is to work from home. It's hard to maintain your working space at home, but if you can, it's really good to keep you and your family be closer.
