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.
