Pandemic Heroes Journey

                                 Call to Adventure/ Refusal to the Call when word about Covid-19 first reached the public, many where quick to dismiss it as "no big deal", and many did not social distance or stay indoors, including myself. Everything changed when someone at the Lynn Valley Care Center lost their life to Covid-19, very close to my school. This made it real for me, I realized that this is real life, and that life isn't always so easy going. I realized that the situation is very real and very dangerous, and that i would have to do my part to flatten the curve, whether I wanted to or not.                                                  Supernatural Aid this may be a stretch, but I would say that the WHO declaring covid-19 a global pandemic, forcing the Canadian...

Covid-19: A Big Change

Humans are an extremely adaptable species, and that has been made extremely clear by the unfortunate global circumstances we have all been plunged into over the past couple months. The Covid-19 pandemic has effected the way billions of people live their lives, forcing us to make drastic lifestyle changes in order to flatten the curve, such as closing down non-essential services and staying home. Despite being separated, we are as close as ever, with everyone doing their part to put a stop to this pandemic, whether its working as a grocery store clerk, a nurse, or staying home.

Quarantine Hobby

during these trying times, it can be hard to get outside, or exercise when you don't have access to a gym. lazing around inside all day can have negative effects on your physical and mental health so its important to get out (by yourself, of course.) what I've been doing to combat this is going on daily walks along the spirit trail. my favourite times to go out are 3 pm , when its usually the warmest, and 8 pm, just before sunset so I can watch the sunset by the water. To some, this may sound mundane, but staying inside all day really makes you forget how lovely the world around us is, even if you've seen it thousands of times. if you want to spice up your walk and get a little social interaction in at the same time, you can always walk with a friend (maintaining 6 feet between you) or a family member! I only recently started going on walks, so my skin hadn't gotten direct sunlight for a while, so I always make sure I wear sunscreen, so I don't come home looking red...
