area either. ON THE INJURY LIST PERFECT FITNESS

MY REFLECTIONS.
1. THIS CORONA VIRUS DISEASE 2019 PANDEMIC HAS TAUGHT ME THAT proper hygiene and being
healthy is the most important thing in life, it’s a key of saving lives and to stop any other virus or infections
that can cause us harm in the near future. It is my primary responsibility of maintaining my physical and
mental health. So discipline and time management is a necessity. Family time is a treasure that should never
be taken for granted because we don’t know what future awaits, appreciate even the simplest of pleasures.
2. I HAVE BEEN USING MY TIME LATELY ON doing my worksheets in KUMON and other subjects in school, I
also use my time in reading my novels since its been so long, since usually I’m always busy doing more
important stuffs. Aside from doing my hobbies I also do my assigned tasks at home.
3. HOW CAN I BE CLOSER TO GOD THIS LENTEN SEASON? We should always give thanks to God and
make it a habit little by little give up your selfishness and vain desires. In that way God can fully enter
our lives, we can do the will of God. Make time of reading the Bible, knowing we can’t get any closer
to our God without us not knowing anything about him. It will also help us, guide us, show us the
truth and renew our way of thinking of life and God.
4. DRAW YOUR MESSAGE TO THE WORLD AT THIS POINT IN TIME. YOU CAN USE DIGITAL ART OR
MANUAL ART  SYMBOLS OR COLLAGE IS POSSIBLE. MAKE SURE TO HAVE A SHORT
EXPLANATION OF YOUR MESSAGE.
Explanation:
When there’s unity there’s strength. We can fight this virus as long as all of us help each other needs.
Whatever our gender, religion or country is, we all belong to the same race we are all the same. It is
the race of humanity that matters the most. If one is affected it disturbs and weakens every other
human being. Just like the saying goes “No man is an island” we need one another. Throughout our
history we have always seen battles to achieve peace and larger territories but in the end it resulted
more worse outcomes. A lot of people dead and a lot of people lose their loved ones and homes there
is devastation everywhere. This virus showed us that its our time to open our eyes and that is instead
of war we should achieve unity. How different it would be if we practice little by little how to have
peace and if we do this the results will surely be fruitful and beneficial to everyone. A world where
every people are loved, cared, and most importantly there’s respect and responsibility. When there’s
strength there’s unity.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit
you may abound in hope. (Romans 15:13)
Hang in there my dear Theresian! This too shall pass!  Love, Ms. Corpin
