The power of positivity

By Andrei, age 12

Covid has symptoms that are the same as other illnesses. It’s very dangerous to see that. In 2021 February, my family and I were going to bed. I was coughing while I rested. My spit was mostly blood. I was worried, my family thought my throat was dry. So I decided to believe them. I ended up having a fever and a limit to my breathing. My lungs hurt when I tried to breathe. My family and I thought we had Covid-19. I was diagnosed with pneumonia and my family isolated me after we got our medicine prescription. During isolation, I felt like a King, my food was served to me, I got all of my stuff. And I finally had my own room for once! {Me and my brother share bedrooms} I’ve got a lot of positivity and didn’t feel anything during my time with pneumonia. I felt the same even after my pneumonia. I found that positivity with a lot of illnesses can help you go through the pain. My case of pneumonia is definitely a journey to remember!
