Life in quarantine

May 13, 2020

When I watched the news that coronavirus broke out at Wuhan in China I was shocked and scared. As the city was locked down and so many people were infected and died within very short period, I got frightened and overwhelmed by this mysterious virus.

As the coronavirus spread out in America, my life changed a lot. 

When I heard the stunning news that there is no school this semester, I was devastated. I was already tired and depressed that I had to take care of my 9 years old son with making three meals a day everyday. I was confused with many uncertain and fake news and felt helpless and vulnerable about this incurable virus.

However when I saw the news about brave and passionate doctors and nurses, I really appreciated them and many other courageous workers.

So I decide to have tranquil time to think about my life and also do my best with gratitude to have more close and intimate relation with my adorable family members.
