A lot of things have changed in my life since the quarantine. For example, before all this situation happened I used to spend my day training and having fun learning new things in my school as in my practices. But I have to say that the relationship with my family has been better as I have now the time to spend more time with them, share and have quality family time as I was used to practice volleyball , go to tournaments, do homework's and sleep.

Quarantine affected my way of living, especially with my beloved ones. For example, things with my family were bizarre as some times we fought, and sometimes we had fun together. I can't deny we already fought a couple of times during quarantine but staying together all this time thought me how to understand them better and treat with them. Also, I had to change from seeing my girlfriend daily to just Facetiming, which makes the relationship a sudden challenge.

The quarantine completely changes my plans because at the beginning of the year I was hoping that I could start my university in Canada at September but with the actual situation I am going to wait to January to see if I can enter to the university in Canada or if I have to join the University of Andes in Colombia. Another important change for me is that not seeing my friends really affected because if I leave maybe this months will be the last I spend with them, also this time that we spend in our house I could see who are the friends that I trust and I am going to continue communicating with them at the distance .

This pandemic has really affected my life, specially because it’s a really important year to me. I’m in senior year and due to this pandemic, me and my friends weren’t able to have our prom or graduation. In the other hand, this pandemic has also complicated the situation regarding collage applications, we haven’t been able to do the interviews and exams that are needed. This pandemic helps me to appreciate more the things I had and understand that everything can change from one day to the next.

Undoubtedly, this whole situation was very unexpected for me and my family, who has seen different drastic changes in their lives, as well as I have. Personnally, I have seen a lot of changes in my schedule and my routines, which have been enormously affected by this whole situation. That is, given that now we don´t go to school. In consecuence, I have more hours of sleep, more time to workout  and overall, more productive days.

Another  change that I have witnessed during quarentine is the fact that I have not been able to see and hug very important members of my family, such as my aunt and my grandma., which makes me sad, taking into account that I used to see them every weekend before.

Something the quarintine has affected me in some way, has been the way I think about myself and about my surroundings, I've become more aware of what I have at home and with me, like family, money, resources, food, shelter, etc... I've felt so much indifference from people that go outside with the precautions and with the protocol the state has approved. I don't think that am I wasting time, I keep working on myself, on my studies, on my music, on enjoying staying at home with my mother, brother and my dog. I think I could say that I have learned more this period about myself, that school has ever taught me. And in someway, I think that this is good for us(except for the one who are dying) for making us humans stop and think about what we are doing .

During the quarantine, even though I feel and think that I have learned to value people and the opportunities that life gives us much more, one of the things that I have missed the most is being close to the people I love and besides that I It has frustrated not being able to finish my cycle in college in a normal way and being able to graduate. In quarantine even though I have been able to spend a lot of time with my family, I miss spending time with my boyfriend and my friends too much.

Due to quarantine, a lot of things have change in my life, even when my priorities haven´t change, I can’t take care of them as I’m used to. The most important thing in my life is my family, and even though when we stay together at home all of the time, knowing that I can’t have my entire family together and not knowing when it is going to be possible to be back together makes isolation harder than it is. Also, I love school, not being able to say goodbye from all the people I care about and not living the last moments as I would like to make me realize that event when it was important to me it won’t happen. Finally, becoming part of the staff at my voluntary work became one of the most important things in my life this year, but since it got suspended I wasn’t able to experience this new chapter of the voluntary work.

The Covid-19 pandemic disease have change my life in many ways. But one of the most important things for me, is that nowadays I can't play any sport and that is something stressful. Also all the events that I had in this mid term of the year such as my graduation and our prom as the seniors 2020 and our trip to Cancun. All these events were suposse to let a a scar in our lives but we are going to lose this opportunity because of the pandemic. This have affected in negative way all my life, I can't see my friends,I can't play sports and finally I lose many important events of my life.

In these few months, everything has changed drastically. One of the most important things that have changed for me is the university because I was supposed to enter in September to a Canadian university, but now I can´t. Therefore, I will have to wait until January of 2021, to enter.
Another thing that has changed is that I haven't been able to see my friends and family during these months and I miss them so much, because I was used to seeing them every day, or at least at the weekends, and now I can't.

# data[].attributes.body
I personally believe that this situation has affected everyone of us in a different way, it is definitely a change that no one expected. In my particular case, I would have to say that I was supposed to go through many changes in my life, an end of a chapter and the beginning of a new one. However, I never thought that I would have to go through them in a quarantine. It has been really hard to close a cycle when you can’t properly do it. What I mean, is that I was supposed to say goodbye and enjoy the time I had left, but it is just not possible. I miss everything, while I’m still trying to figure out what is going to happen with my future.

# data[].attributes.body
This unexpected situation has had a big impact on my routine. What has been most affected is the fact that I cannot see my friends, go to school, visit my grandparents and my father, and go to the gym. I really miss creating moments and memories with my friends and my teachers, laughing in class and on breaks. I also miss seeing my grandparents every day and enjoying their company.

The virus has changed my life drastically, first my routine of going to school all the week, see my friends, see my teachers and spent 8 hours a day in a place that had felt like a second home to me for 13 years has changed. Now, I don't know if I would have a prom, how my graduation will be, what I know for sure and hurts a lot is that I would never see my classmates again (or at least not in a classroom) that I couldn't like said goodbye to persons that I love from the school and that always had been there for me, that all my senior year got ruined because of this, and there's nothing that I can do except expect for the best. Also, I am at home, though I  have the possibility to go out because I am 18 years old, but going out is not what used to be, everyone is using a mask, we have to be separated and we cannot touch each other, for me is not the same going out this way, it doesn't feel right. This are just a few things that the virus had changed in my life.

It have been very difficult for my to be in the enclosure, because I miss all my friends and share with them. Is sad to think that the last memories with them are digital.

The pandemic has affected my life in different ways. On the positive side this time at home has allowed me to spend more time with my family, to do more activities together and to have a closer relationship. Also, I have been able to invest more of my time in things that I like to do like exercise, cooking, listen to music and knitting. Nevertheless, it has been a hard time for me and I think that for my classmates too, because many things I've been waiting for were cancelled or postponed. Also It’s a time that I would like to be spending with my friends and family, and is hard to be apart from them.

I think that the coronavirus made me think more in myself and made me think about my friendships, like the importance of friendship in my life, with this situation I think that I'm trying to care more about them. Also I think that this situation made me share more with my family. Also I think that my "normal" life  is being affected because I usually do a lot of exercise, also I like to watch some sports, but with this situation we all have to stay home, so i'm trying to find other activities, actually i'm watching a lot of series, like the 100 or Outer banks and in this way I can get distracted from what is happening outside

# data[].attributes.body
everything has changed, even the most simple things, we are not able to do them anymore. Most of my plans for my life changed, and that really affected me emotionally, and not being able to get through that with my friends and loved ones made it worse.

# data[].attributes.body
Before all this my concerns were minimal such as a perfect dress for the prom, a good grade in my icfes, good results in the toefl and the dolphin, going out with my friends to eat, going out with my boyfriend for a walk, get to my house and do homework, but everything changed from day one of the quarantine, the days are full of monotony. I get up, I bathe, I have classes, I do thousands of jobs, lunch, dinner and I fall asleep, over and over and again, the same routine. Being locked up in the house is not easy, although I try to distract myself with other activities, such as painting, drawing, cooking, and playing WII. Little by little I get used to it but I hope it ends soon.

I really do not have many expectations regarding the subject I am afraid of not graduating, of not having my prom, of not returning to my school, of late entering the university, I hope that everything improves little by little and we can get out of this with the least number of affected.From all this we can learn a lesson, and everything happens for something, for the moment it is necessary to have patience and enjoy family time.

This experience, at first, was very thrilling because I had the opportunity of having personal time with my family and getting to do activities I usually don’t do because of lack of time and abundance of activities out of my household. However, when you are locked up for a lot of time you start to get really bored and the activities you liked, become very monotonous and tedious.

The things that matter the most, like training soccer and hanging out with my friends are the toughest ones to assume. Time is flying so fast and I feel that I am wasting a lot of time in this situation. At first, it was helpful because you could start practicing interesting hobbies but when the government shouted out that the quarantine is taking away valuable this, psychologically, the effects are tremendous. The hardest situation I had gone through this international event and quite catastrophic is the fact that the most special events of a senior, like a prom party and the graduation day completely vanished away.

The pandemic truly changed the way we see our daily lifes. Now at days it is regular to see people with gloves and masks and unusual to see people do a traditional handshake. Small aspects changed for everyone and although life goes on and we have to adapt to the situation; personally my life has changed in a few aspects. From my hobbies to visiting my family, everything requieres a protocol, its not just putting on my shoes and going grosery shopping with my family, or go and play basketball with my friends. Not everything can be done, the restrictions puts us in lockdown, closes the business and puts poeple in critical economical and sanitary conditions. However personally my main hobby is videogames and if something the quarentine has allowed me to play way more than i used to. I guess not everyrhing is in the dark side. Im healthy, so is my family and friends, and as right now ido miss being out but seek for everyones wealth.

One of the things that really changed for me during this pandemic is being able to see my dad and my sister. Since I don't live with them and we can't go out, I can't see them as often as I usually do. However, last week I was able to see my dad, he sneaked out and came to visit me. I haven't seen my sister, though. This has really affected me, because I usually see them every week and we go visit our grand-parents on the weekends. This has also been impossible, because my grand-parents are very old, they are more than 80 years old, so we can't go visit them or anything. There are some apps that allow us to videochat, but they don't know much about technology.

Personally, not being able to see my family has been the hardest. Also, not being able to feel the sun in my face or the wind. This has been hard.

Undoubtedly, the pandemic has had a huge impact in the world population. For instance, the global economy and public health have only shown alarming signs in the last few months, yet I do not consider that it has truly changed or affected my life. Life comes and goes, we face problems everyday and humanity will always seek to find solutions. However, has anything really changed dramatically?

For those who have struggled as doctors, who have lost their families or who are facing an economic crisis, sadly they have really suffered. But for us, who adapt to change, that despite being virtual, we continue to go to school, we will eventually graduate and go to college. When I recall the last 3 months, my life continues in the same direction, regardless of the coronavirus. Certainly, the Prom, Cancun, the last days of school, we may find them lost. Other than that, we haven't undergone a substantial change.

The corona virus completely changed everyones life. It´s not only the fact that the corona virus is dangerous for our health, but totaly changed every aspect in our daily rutine. Because of the school shutting down to prevent the spreading of covid-19, we are not able to learn at the same pace we were, in addition, there is no way to spend time with our social circle. The movies, restaurants, malls and any source of entretainment are not available; it´s like we´re living in a post apocaliptic world. However, we now have time to spend with our families, learning daily about eac hother

It is a fact, this pandemic changed everybody's way of living. But, when I ask myself if it has done a lot of damage to me and that changed my life forever, I evaluate every aspect of my future. For example, I'm still going to graduate (I just don't when is my prom and graduation happening), I'll still go to College (Virtually in the first place but eventually I will actually go). All my relationships are fine and they will not vanish...
Everything is going to be fine at one point of our lifes, even if it is in December or next year, we have to be patient... we are humans, we are all about the evolution. It's time to leave feelings and the plans we planned before this happened aside and to focus on being better humans, to be useful in the world.

I think that the things that matter the most to me in life have not changed, I think what has changed is the perspective on those things that are so important to me. I think this situation has made me realize that what matters the most are those moments we spend together with those people we love so much. I only hope that after this situation I can share memorable moments with those people who are far away at the moment. To conclude, I would like to say that this is a lesson for us, this is a test that God gaved us in this importante moment for us as it is our graduation. Later we will be able to enjoy and remember these moments, seeing us face to face.

One of the things that have changed that affected me is not spending the last days of school with my friends, because I've been with them for 14 years and thing that I wanted was spending our days at school together and having fun.
The other thing is that I love to go out with my family or friends to parks or have fun watching movies at the theatre. So I thing that not spending time like in a park with too much sunlight is the things that I miss the most.

One of the most important things for me are my studies and my college life. I really want to study as I want to get better at what I love doing, but this pandemic has changed it all. I knew from the beginning that I would study in the United States but this situation has made me change my mind because the dollar raise makes it harder for me to save money for my university. This means that I'm considering staying and studying here my undergraduate program so then I can go to the United States and complete my studies doing a graduate program. This is the most relevant way this pandemic has affected my life plans.

To fully comprehend the impact of the pandemic on my life, several factors underline the extremity of the consequences. Initially, I suffered greatly after realizing my academic evolution would not conclude properly. As far as I'm concerned, we will have an online ceremony for graduation. This idea is one of the hardest things that came with the pandemic. Furthermore, the idea of joining a university, while simultaneously realizing that we won't visit the campus, or meet the facilities, truly shows the impact of the pandemic in the lives of several teenagers, like me. We can no longer do handshakes; no longer have physical contact with the people we love. Adjusting to this mentality has been challenging. Nevertheless, I'm hopeful for the future. Hopeful for a better life, no longer living in a fictionalized "novel" filled with virtual classes, friends, and boredom. I'm hopeful.

I have always enjoyed to go outside with mi friends or family, to the mall, the cinema, and so on. But now, for the greater good, we have to stay in home, while we wait these situation gets better. It has been hard, to be "confined" in my house. But know, I have more time to enjoy with my parents. And I have been able to reflect to be able to be a better person when this is all over.

Additionally, not being able to have the graduation that we all expected has been hard. But, what keeps me calm. Is that I know, when this is all over we will celebrate as there's no morning.

Pandemic has changed my life, for example before COVID-19 I did not have time, I was focused only in the school, nowadays I am able to do more things that I like to do. For examples get involve in Novacolor Sas  ( my mother's bussines), getting innovative products such as microspheres that has inside them vitamin E for hand sanitizers, also COVID-19 makes that we aren't able to go out, which is sad, but it to avoid spreading the virus and take care not only for me and my family but also for others.

This unusual and dramatic situation meant a lot of change in my life and my routine. For me, the aspects most affected by the pandemic was my friends and sports. It been tough to be limited to learning through a screen, far from my friends . I miss laughing with them on the daily basis and just enjoying our last moments in school. It was sad and nostalgic that our last months, which I considered them the best of our senior year, were limited to an online routine. In the other hand, other key aspect in my life that was massively affected was sports. I miss both watching every sports on TV and training myself. It has been tough to train at home, because I don't find it fun and it gets monotonous. Therefore, I miss player soccer and training on open field, with fresh air and tons of space.
