I’ve learnt to live with the bare minimum, comfortable with what I already have. The pandemic has taught me what is truly valuable in life and what’s a facade. It’s given me an opportunity to slow down in this fast changing world and to appreciate what truly matters; friends, family and the connections I’ve made over the course of my life. From going through my daily schedule on autopilot to barely having a schedule in my own house, I’m rediscovering myself. And with every passing day, I’m rekindling with my passions, my likes, my interests and, mostly importantly, my desire to live, rather than merely survive.

Despite all that has gone on, there have been some positives to the world coming to a stop. It’s forced us to take a step back, think, understand and appreciate what it means to live and not just survive. And that’s something I’m going to try to hold onto for a long time to come.

Serving and helping others as a field staff did not only blessed lives but also lift’s one’s own spirits, too. The cohesion, camaraderie and individual talents of our team are beyond amazing. The DOH team have truly pulled together to face this pandemic, working as a cohesive unit for the benefit of the patients; burning with the remarkable compassion, professionalism and resilience of our team members, especially the back office staffs. I believe that Together, we will truly beat this pandemic, 100%.

Thank you again team! It was an honor to have worked with you all.
