What is your worst experience of this CoVid19-year?
Quote from Zhou Rukang on 21. March 2021, 20:53Hi, For a Chinese student in Spain, the New Coronavirus has affected me in many ways. I cannot return to China because of the quarantine, I cannot get to know the culture of Spain and Europe better by traveling in the already limited time, and because of the epidemic, I have become very single-minded in my study style in only one year of my master's life, with no additional extra-curricular practice or activities. I am very confused about the prospect of entering the social workforce, and I hope we can overcome the virus sooner rather than later.
Dear Zhou, thanks also a lot for sharing your very specific perspective. Well, I guess, I can understand your disappointment. You came to Spain to make new friends, to learn new things, and now, you have to stare all day long into your computer to take part in lectures - as it happens with our students. Today, I hold a course on Health and Nature Tourism. One of your students is from Iran. So, he is to a certain extend in the same situation, but we were able to take the chance by video conference to chat, to exchange experiences, to take profit from our course - and finally learned a lot together.
Or to pick up something I have indicated in my reply on Lara's post:
Compared to many other people in the world, we are still in a great position. Well, probably you would be much happier to return home, I would understand... but wasn't there anything you were able to take with you and to enjoy here in Spain?
I was in Spain almost exactly one year ago due to the cick-off meeting of a ERASMUS+ project (MYSUN https://www.mysuncampus.eu/ ), and after returning, I started my work in quarantaine...

(Incidentally, I think that global warming must be defeated)

Thank you, Harry, for addressing the challenges students are facing due to COVID-19. Personally, I feel that the loss of personal contact and in-person learning has been the hardest part. While online classes provide flexibility, they don’t offer the same engagement and social interaction, which I believe is essential for personal and academic growth. It would be great to hear more p-5-p supplement designs for health about how other students are coping with this shift.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected each of us in profound ways, and it’s tough to pinpoint just one 'worst' aspect of it all. For many, the loss of personal connection at university has been particularly challenging, as virtual learning can’t quite replace the energy and support that come from being with classmates and mentors in person. At the same time, the economic downturn has also added stress, especially for students who rely on part-time jobs or support from families who might be struggling financially. And, of course, the constant worry about our own health and the health of loved ones is always present. Overall, it feels like a combination of these factors has made this period incredibly difficult, with each impact feeding into the others and creating a lot of uncertainty. Thanks for opening up this discussion, Harry, it’s helpful to reflect on this together. Click here nutritionist london for more!
