Dear diary,
A dangerous virus named corona has spread from China to all other countries in the world. Due to this pandemic situation many countries have announced lockdown. This lockdown made all of us sit inside our home. But this situation gave me lots and lots of new experience and opportunities to my life.
Before this lockdown, I was very sad because I couldn’t spend much time with my family. But now I have enough time to spend with my family members, by interacting with them, it made me and my family members very happy and blissful. And it is the first time I am helping my mother in her household works because before this lockdown my daily routine was like this:-
| 5:30 am | 5:30am- 6:00am | 6:00am-7:00am | 7:00am-3:00pm | 3:00-6:00pm | 6:00pm-6:10pm |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wake up | Yoga and meditation | Getting ready for school | School time | Tuition time | coming back |
| 6:10pm-7:00pm | 7:00pm-8:00pm | 8:00pm-9:00pm | 9pm-10pm | 10pm-10:30pm | 10:30pm-5:00am |
| Rest time | Study time | Dinner | Study time | Reading story book | Sleep time |
But due to this lockdown I could make many changes in my routine that I wanted to change. And it gave me loads of time to improve my creative writing and thinking skills by participating in various essay writing competition. And now I am in 10th standard, so I have to study very hard to score 100% in my board exams and to achieve my dreams. Before this lockdown, I could study only about for 2 to 3 hours daily. But now I have lots and lots of time to study and I am sure that I would get 95% above in all my subjects. And most importantly, it allowed to follow my dreams. My dream is to get into the most prestigious university in this world, that is, Harvard or Stanford university and to become a software engineer at Google headquarters and to discover a new product, which would be beneficial for all the people around this world. To achieve my dreams I have to work harder and harder. In my free time, I learn how to code and listen to the motivational words of persons, who has achieved great things in their lives by overcoming the obstacles. All thanks to this lockdown, which gave me enough time to do the work that I wanted to do.
So this lockdown is a very useful situation for me.
But, at the same time I am very sad to hear that lots of people around this world are dying due to this virus. I pray to my god everyday to end this pandemic situation early as possible and to give covid-19 patients the will or mind power to overcome this situation.
If the people, who got infected with this virus have will or mind power I am sure that they will get well very soon. So, I believe that our mind power is the greatest weapon against this virus.
So, my best friend (diary), I have to go now because my online classes are starting. So, Good bye till we meet again.
