HOW MY DAILY ROUTINE HAS CHANGED DURING THE PANDEMIC

st
1 Runner Up: Zainab Bashir - 7 Senegal

My daily routine has changed a lot during lockdown. I have stopped going to school,I have stopped going
out with my family, I have stopped doing anything I usually do to be honest.

Well,the good thing about this lock down is that I actually get to do things I have never had time to do.
There is a saying that goes opportunity comes once in a lifetime, cherish it for when it goes away it might
never come back.

When I heard that there was going to be a lockdown I had to cancel every single thing I had to do. and I
started thinking about what it was going to be like at home doing nothing and the only things I could
think about was sleeping, eating and playing video games. But,when I actually spent some weeks in the
lockdown I figured thati i could actually do thingsi i never had time for example i could teach myself
somethings i really wanted to learn and also some life skills as well.

So at this time of a crisis, let's do more than washing hands, let's do the things we never had the time for.
This too shall pass and when it does, we will look back and say we did the things we never had time for-
a saying by CNN.

THE CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC
nd
- 2 Runner Up: Fareed Gebi - 7 Benue

The Coronavirus pandemic has affected my daily life by disrupting my routine because I usually go to
school except on holidays. It has also affected my social life as I can not go to my friend’s houses often
which makes daily life more boring. I have been unable to watch my favorite teams play in the premier

league and the champions league. The quarantine has also stopped me and my family from doing
activities outside the home such as: Going to the cinema, going to a restaurant or any family events. The

coronavirus pandemic is changing the world in both big and small ways, things like social distancing and
wearing face masks are examples of our new daily life. Some financially troubled People cannot go out
and provide for their families and more people are starting to lose their jobs because of the coronavirus

pandemic around the world. So far the biggest change in this quarantine is the fact that I have to go to
school digitally which has proved a bit challenging for the past few days.
