Things have become a lot better ever since the start of the pandemic during the first months of 2020. Today, there are vaccines and treatments for symptoms. The streets are busy again and schools are opened again. Some bad came with the pandemic like Asian hate. Many Asians were attacked or harassed because they were blamed for the cause of the disease. I’m Asian so it kind of heated me seeing footages of elderly and vulnerable Asians being attacked and harassed. Some were even killed. I also experienced racism at my current job. I work at Panda Express now. A lady got mad because she had to wait long and said, “yall brought the disease and now you’re making our food. I don’t know what she expected at a restaurant that’s Chinese. Some good things that came from this time was people coming together and supporting each other. People also learned new habits. 

There are many lessons that I can learn from this period. The most important I learned was that not everything is gonna go as I planned. I was disappointed a lot during this time. I also experienced some depression that taught me how to deal with it now. I learned about the nature and behavior of some people. It really surprised me experiencing new emotions and situations. I will carry with me the lessons I learn forward. I have become a bit more mature. I try to learn new stuff and improve myself now. I will do things differently now by not thinking about things much and take every opportunity I have. I will be more grateful for things that I have and for my friends that are real. I will apply the lessons I learn to do things differently now.
