Quarantine changed almost all of us in different ways possible.
I, myself have seen changes I didn't want to recognize at first. However, time dawned on me and there is no escape to this new reality.
I am 21, still young, but the weight of 2020 is too heavy of a burden. Fresh graduate, new job, travels, and the like. I had a lot of plans for this year but came March 15 which closed all doors
I just landed a job as an esl teacher, I had been teaching for a month, a great learning experience suddenly picked even before it ripen.
I was suppose to take 2 national exams for job qualifications and licensing last March but we all know how that went. Because of it looking for a job is 2x harder as competitors have licenses and national qualifications.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that this pandemic left me feeling like a deadweight. My body feels like an empty plastic water container. A shape, a form but with no flowing soul inside to take up matter... or to matter.
I hope the world heals soon enough, not just for me, but for everyone who is feeling like deadweight too.
A language can be thought online too. Skype with your students! It sounds to me you don't see the possibilities lockdown x internet gives you. You don't need a grade to be a private teacher you only need to be enthusiastic, show it, and be good at your work.
To me, who is way older than you, a single mom at the age of 17, it sounds as if I read the message of a spoiled generation. As if your life, chances are over because of a lockdown, some health issues.
I studied and worked my entire life. Nothing could stop me from doing that. No society, lack of money or children and at that time internet didn't exist.
