I Have Covid: Day One
Well, it has finally got me. I thought I had lasted longer than my luck should have held out. But in all honestly, I hardly ever left the house until recently unless absolutely necessary. Then tonight, when I went to pick my husband up from the train station, I began to feel rotten. Sore, achy bones and muscles. Shivers and inability to get warm; Not to mention the dry, achy eyes and lips. I came home and told hubby I would lay down that it had been a long day.

Advantages of COVID-19 for the future.
My view When I look at the whole world as it was some months ago and in the present, I see a promising future where hopes shall be restored, fears disappear, social and public life curbed, businesses well managed, international relations well supervised, world health secured and good home discipline not left out of the great transformation that probably will sprout out of the situation we are living now. With great combat on COVID-19 presently, the future seems promising. Surely these advantages will come to realize if we continue to cooperate in the fight against COVID-19. Up till now, everyone is so conscious and so vigilant of every bit of thing happening around them; however, some people are still to realize the necessity of continuous combat on this virus. So, in seven ways, I have examined this beautiful dream.

5 Reasons Getting A Breakthrough Case SUCKS
Like a lot of people in education, I’m used to being around germs. It’s literally my job to gather several dozen grubby teenagers in a small room, shut the door, and encourage everyone to get close to each other and open their mouths.

The Affect of Ageism on Society
The main topic of this paper is ageism and the affect it has on individuals in society. According to the World Health Organization, ageism “ refers to the stereotypes (how we think), prejudice (how we feel) and discrimination (how we act) towards others or oneself based on age” (World Health Organization. (n.d.). Ageing: Ageism) The problems that come with ageism are noticeable early in life: "By the age of four years old, people “become aware of their culture’s age stereotypes.” (World Health Organization. (n.d.). Ageing: Ageism) This data, points to just how important it is to study ageism. If even a kindergarten-age child recognizes the evidence of the oppression that can be caused to people in different age groups, that signifies just how pertinent the issue is to all societal groups.

Is It Ever Too Early for Young Students to Learn Medical Terms?
Kids are smarter than a lot of people give them credit for. They pick up on subtle cues and are constantly learning from the world around them. And yet, we often don’t teach them crucial information until they’re older—or not at all.

Imbibing the Culture of Giving To The Young Generation: What is the importance of Charity?
September 5th has always been my favorite day of this month. Given that the “ber” months would indicate that once it commences, Christmas season also begins. In the Philippines, when the first day of SeptemBER comes, most families begin to think of preparations for Jesus Christ’s natal day. It's surprisingly a long celebration of Christmas from September to December.

In 1970 Victoria became the first state in the western world to introduce laws making the use of seatbelt in cars compulsory. within year and a half the other Australian states followed suit and by 1977, 90% of motorist were wearing seatbelts. Why? Because they recognized that although wearing a seatbelt could be something of an inconvenience, it also prevents death and more serious injury in the event of a car accident.

Why You Should Live Your Life Like There Is No Tomorrow.
I was talking to a female elderly friend today. She was telling me about memories from her younger years. She used to run, swim, ride a bike, go on adventures, and, play on park furniture with her children. She is now 72 years old, and she has angina, arthritis and walking problems with her legs. The conversation reminded me of something my gran told me when I was a young teenager:

Philosopher Epictetus Thinks Being Clingy Is Not Worth It. Top Story - October 2021.
Clinging to things out of our control only gives us pain, agony, and suffering but being content in controlling ourselves is the true mark of happiness. The outside world has no control over our happiness unless we allow the world to have it.

My Wake-up Call
Introduction It can’t be argued that it is a stressful time. The stress is all around me, us, our community, our planet. We are enveloped in a world-wide health crisis that will henceforth forever be known as the COVID-19 Pandemic and the stress it induced brought to the forefront of my consciousness a personal health concern that I had been ignoring for years. It also brought forward a resolve to work on reinventing myself to be the best version of me that I could.
