A Narrative Essay by: Jobert Mendoza
I do not know what is happening around, people wearing masks , some are running to the market to buy necessities and me just sitting on our sofa and feeling sad. If I can recall that was March but I cannot remember the exact date, my heart was shocked because I do not have anything to do. I am used to waking up early to go to school but all of this changes in just a blink of an eye.
On the first day of lockdown I was just in our home waiting for further announcement about school matters, especially because I am a grade 10 student who will be having a moving up ceremony. The sun was shining so nice and giving me hope that this pandemic will end easily because the said announcement is just one week away. Every plan for me for our remaining last days of school together with my SPJ family was ruined and we weren’t able to bond that much as we will end our junior high school journey and will face different strands. I can also recall that on that day together with my classmates we were just chatting in the group chat and talking about possibilities of things that can happen. While with regards to family we are just at home and observing everything happening around.
There no much things that happen that day because it is only one day but if I will tell the whole story until now I can describe this lockdown as my greatest challenge because I need to adapt to everything and cope with it. It was a up and down experience for me but until now one thing that we should do is to stay safe
