My Experience That Changed My Life

My Experience That Changed My Life n1M2K
An experience that changed my life is the COVID-19 pandemic. This event has happened unexpectedly and managed to affect the whole world, myself being no exception. The coronavirus has taken many lives while forcing countries to go on lockdown and introduce a variety of preventive measures against contamination. Even though I was lucky enough not to lose any loved ones to the virus, living in New York has given me a taste of the massive changes caused by the COVID infection. As a freshman year college student, I was expecting to have a lot of fun. However, instead of parties and social gatherings, my group mates and I have faced distance learning and strict lockdown measures. Yet, the first-year college students agreed to arrange a zoom call to get to know each other, and I have already managed to make some friends! Meeting them in person, as the lockdown measures softened, was a one-of-a-kind experience. Besides, I had more time to spend with my family members! Studying online is also not easy. I feel like distance learning puts a lot more responsibility on the students' shoulders, requiring more motivation and self-discipline. After several tries, I have managed to come up with a strategy that allows me to be productive.

    Laozi said that everyone should stick to their nature, while Confucius said that we must stick to rules to become a better version. What is your opinion, a short paragraph about 150 words?
    In these day, there has been an argument that if we should live base on natural circle or should we inhabit under the laws and obligations for establishing ourselves. I believe that adhering to the rules would lead human to a form of humanity. If every human on earth stick to their nature, the order...
