Diana Sousa Week 1

One month… a month so different and yet so equal to the ones that will come. Throughout this quarantine, we have been realizing the importance of this virus and its significant impacts on in everything that surrounds us. An increasing number of families are feeling sad and desperate about losing their loved ones for something so small, however with such serious impacts.
Since the 13th of March that I have been am in quarantine, and it has been a big challenge: staying at home every day without the possibility of being with my grandparents, godson, uncles, cousins​​ and friends. In the beginning it all seemed easy because I thought it would be just a few days at home without any confusion, just comfort. However, a few days later this tranquility was having been transformed into a boring environment. The impossibility of being at school and at our jobs, but mostly the absence of other people, makes us realize the importance of freedom. 
Each day is a fight, a war without guns and shootings that is killing thousands of people.
Despite all this, every day we have people that risk their own lives to save others - doctors, nurses, security forces, firefighters and many others. We owe them all a big “thank you”, as they are the ones in the front line, many times without the necessary conditions to help others. 
We all have to be responsible and follow the rules because this is the only way to protect ourselves.

Heyyyy guys!! I can’t believe that this is my last day in the 10th grade..this school year passed so quickly but at the same time so slowly.. At the beginning of the year I met new people and made new friends, I had new subjects and I felt a big difference compared to other years. I think that I worked hard to achieve my goals and I also felt some pressure coming from myself to achieve them, but what is life without any pressure or adrenaline? Anyway I’m proud of myself as well as of the people around me, which makes me very happy and grateful for everything I’ve been through. My friends, family and teachers supported me a lot this school year, so it also helped me when I was sad or when something hadn’t worked out for me. It was a mix of emotions from September until now and I’m relieved to know that the school year is over, but I’m also sad because I couldn’t say goodbye to my friends and teachers personally, like I always do.   I really enjoyed sharing my weekly...

Diana Sousa Week 10

Hello!!!       I hope everyone is okay! In this text, I will not talk about my week, I will talk about this school year. It all started when I joined a new class, where I barely knew anyone, where I was seen as "the one who comes from the problematic class". All of these factors did not favor me and prevented the approach and adaptation to the new class. I went through this difficult phase, but it was worth it, because in the end I ended up meeting incredible people who are always ready to help, but there are still hose I don't know or at least I don't speak to very often, which for me is a little strange, because despite coming from a class full of problems, it was in this class that I felt good, where we all talked, we were all together, everyone knew each other and this is for me the true meaning of "class". The fact that I don't feel truly adapted to this new group makes me a little uncomfortable, confused and sad but each one is as he/she is...

Hello, friends! How are you? This week I had a lot of work! Believe me… I had a Biology assignment to prepare and I lost a lot of time just looking for information about my theme. But now, I think that it’s ready and I want to present it so as to get rid of it. Although I had a lot of work, I followed the NASA and Space X mission in the space because I’d  love to go to space and I’m curious about what’s the matter up there. Going to space isn't for everyone. Now at night, I usually spend half an hour on YouTube watching live what they do in space. It really catches my eye… I also ask myself a lot of questions about how they have oxygen up there for so much time, how they have food for a lot of months, etc. I’d really like to go to space… it’s a dream! However, this week I helped my mother baking a coffee cake and it almost got better than my dad's pies… He tried to compete with me and my mother doing a “Molotof” because when my mother does it, it always looks bad.
