What is your reaction when COVID-19 hit your province for the first time? What are your thoughts? Me? I’m scared, confused and I have an everyday panic and too many what-ifs. I do not have any idea what to do and if there are any chance surviving this pandemic. I talked to some elders and they became a blessing to me especially to my state of mind, I am being distracted to what I should be doing -to study.

Few weeks later some of my professors used the application “edmodo” to have our lessons and to finish the semester, again my peaceful mind was rattled. I left my laptop in our boarding house in Baguio and I have no idea how to get my stuffs. I thought after a few days classes will resume but it goes another way. Luckily, a friend of mine lend me her laptop and let me finish some of the tasks and one of it is my research digest. I am really thankful that someone helped me and if it is not because of her laptop I don’t know I can survive that semester where there are sudden shift of method of learning.

The lesson to we can learn here: It is not cardinal sin to ask for help to others, the world is too big to carry by yourself hence your hands are not designed to lift it single-handed. It is destined to hold somebody’s hands and help one another to raise our world from the pit of sadness and problems.
