Not a Curse, Just a Chance to Grow

By Addi, Age 11

I’ve never seen Covid as a curse, though it has impacted our lives in many negative ways, it also has some positives.

Now we know what to do if something similar to this happens again! While I was stuck at home during quarantine, I had to learn how to entertain myself, so I picked up my pencils, and then started doodling an eye. It wasn’t perfect, not even close to what I hoped to achieve, but I kept trying. Every day I would spend hours trying to get better, it was uncomfortable and aggravating. But I kept going. Covid didn’t only help show us what it was capable of, it showed me what I was capable of. Now, look at what life is like! Making paintings for my school, and showing the world who I truly am. It taught me how to step out of my comfort zone, and I’m thankful for that. Another positive, is that I started joining more sports after quarantine was finished! I was no longer afraid of getting hurt, as well as judged! Thanks, Covid, but now you can get out of our lives. 🙂
