Ensuring Safety for the Younger Generations


        Since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic back in March 2020, the virus has claimed more than 2.5 million lives globally with upwards of 113 million cases being confirmed by laboratory tests. We all have been affected by the current COVID-19 pandemic. However, the impact of the pandemic and its consequences are felt differently. Our children were one of the most affected. Children are limited in almost everything due to the restrictions and strict health protocols that are implemented by the government. Considering the huge risk that one might get infected by the said virus; they are limited to go out and enjoy their youth as the older generations did.

          However, the latest news that vaccines are available for teens and children is very pleasing. Before recommending COVID-19 vaccination for children, scientists conducted clinical trials with thousands of children and no serious safety concerns were identified. COVID-19 vaccination is now offering a way to transition out of this phase of the pandemic. Currently, a total of seven COVID-19 vaccines available across three platforms have been approved and are being rolled out across the globe. It is important to have our children vaccinated for more protection against the virus. Getting a COVID-19 vaccination is a safer way to build protection than getting sick with COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccination helps protect you by creating an antibody response without you having to experience sickness.

            In conclusion, we should never hesitate to have our children vaccinated since the said vaccine is proven to be safe. By having them vaccinated, we can protect them from the deadly virus and be more confident or assured that they are safe from any harm.

             We all have been affected by the current COVID-19 pandemic. However, the impact of the pandemic and its consequences are felt differently. Our children were one of the most affected because not only their entertainment has been jeopardized but also their method of learning. In our way of living, difficulties are felt left and right because of the sudden adjustments or the said new normal. Nonetheless, it is very pleasing to have this kind of celebration amidst this circumstance.

Happiness Over Crisis

        Christmas is celebrated to remember the birth of Jesus Christ, who most people believe is the son of God. Christmas is one of the longest holidays that we Filipino's are celebrating every year.  One cannot deny that this holiday feels warm and joyful when it comes to celebrating it with their family members, close friends, or simply their loved ones.

Our class did many activities, some include us doing yoga. Another activity that we did was painting. Even though I miss my classmates and genuinely want to meet our teachers, I somehow enjoy home learning.

I addressed these problems by communicating with my parents about my behaviour and helped myself by cooperating with them. These past
