#2 Think of a time when you faced an academic or personal challenge. Describe the challenge and your response to it. What resources did you find helpful? Write about COVID time in January 2021, when my whole family was sick with COVID. My dad was positive with COVID and on the 3rd day got into Cleveland Clinic hospital. He was planning to be released in 2 days after, yet he lost conciseness and go into ER, then straight to ICU. I was scared to loose my father. At the same time, my mom was also very sick and couldn’t go to the hospital because she couldn’t leave us (myself, my brother and little sister) home completely alone. It was very difficult time for my family, for myself. I was dropping academically, because i couldn’t concentrate on school, i was depressed and scared for my whole family. Me and my mom came into conclusion to concentrate on doing something else. We ordered fabric from JoAnns and were making as many face masks for the community and local hospitals as possible. We created over 500 face masks which were donated. Thankfully my family was stronger than virus and we were able to withstand and overcome this difficult time. I continued to improve in school.
