Essay on "Life lessons you have learned during the quarantine"
180 words

I have learned from this pandemic the sad results of an overly contagious disease. Each night our news has the latest totals of illnesses and deaths. These totals flash me back to the days of the Vietnam War when the numbers of dead and wounded soldiers were announced. It sickened us each dinner hour. The horror is even greater now, for our numbers are staggering.

I learned that personal contact and socialization play a bigger part in all our lives than I ever understood. As a lucky senior with a loving supportive husband, not alone in isolation, and encouraging, friendly neighbors, friends and family, I’ve suffered. The distancing, the lack of activities in groups, all dimmed my spirit. As an upbeat, laughing sort, surprisingly I was hit in spite of being blessed.

I think of family — our grandkids struggling with school, their adolescence stifling in confinement, missing senior school year activities, experiencing college online. They have lost learning opportunities and personal growth from interactions with others. Their lives have forever changed. Sadly, this happened at the beginning of their life’s journey. Their loss is infinitely greater than mine. So, too, those without loving support and jobs have suffered immeasurably.

My sadness is lifting with the promise of tomorrow, thanks to vaccinations. Concerns are letting up due to a stable federal-state response to this disease. Anger lingers over the past president’s uncaring, negligent response. But I am hopeful for our future. We are a resilient people.

What have I learned about myself, my family and my community after one year of the pandemic?

I have learned a huge amount about myself. I come from a sports background and that results in a cannot-be-defeated attitude. I love tennis and when the pandemic struck, our leaders thought it would be beneficial to lock tennis courts so no one could play tennis. I found places to play, thanks to my wonderful tennis partners, and I continued to play at beautiful places like a private court in Rancho Bernardo and courts near Sunset Cliffs, which gave me the opportunity to discover the beautiful cliffs again even though I’ve lived here 64 years of my 65 on Earth. Because of this never-say-die attitude I was able to stay in contact with my son’s beautiful family after tennis on Saturdays. I guess the saying is, where there is a will, there is a way, or from one of our greatest poets, “All limitations are self-imposed.”

One of the main life illustrations that you really want to learn is the significance of persistence. Persistence is characterized as a singular's capacity to sit tight for something important to occur without feeling disappointed because of the postponement.

I have gained from this pandemic the miserable consequences of an excessively infectious sickness. Every night our news has the most recent aggregates of ailments and passings.

These sums streak me back to the times of the Vietnam War when the quantities of dead and injured fighters were declared. It nauseated us every supper hour. The ghastliness is much more noteworthy now, for our numbers are faltering.

I discovered that individual contact and socialization have a greater influence in for our entire lives than I at any point comprehended. As a fortunate senior with a caring strong spouse, not the only one in disengagement, and empowering, well disposed neighbors, loved ones, I've endured.

The separating, the absence of exercises in gatherings, all diminished my soul. As a peppy, snickering sort, shockingly I was hit notwithstanding being honored.

I consider family  our grandchildren battling with school, their puberty smothering in control, missing senior school year exercises, encountering school on the web.

They have lost gaining valuable open doors and self-awareness from associations with others. Their lives have perpetually changed. Tragically, this occurred toward the start of their life's process.

Their misfortune is limitlessly more prominent than mine. Thus those without adoring help and occupations have endured immensely.

My trouble is lifting with the commitment of tomorrow, because of immunizations. Concerns are easing up because of a steady government state reaction to this illness. Outrage waits over the past president's relentless, careless reaction. Yet, I am confident about our future. We are a tough group.

Transportation Strike Disrupts Westridge
Thousands unable to get to work or school

WESTRIDGE, Ohio — More than 600 transportation employees went on strike at midnight last night after the Westridge City Council rejected their demand for a 10% pay increase. The strike affects all bus and rail services throughout Westridge and the neighboring communities of Turlock, Smithfield, and Lowell Grove.

“We hoped we would not be forced to strike, but until our demands are met, we really have no choice,” said Wanda Thompson, a representative of the Transportation Employees Union. “We simply don’t get paid what we deserve.”

Members of the Westridge City Council see the situation differently. “Our employees already earn 6% more than the state average for similar transportation jobs,” said Raoul Cobian, President of the Westridge City Council.

Hopefully the two groups can come to an agreement soon and bring this unnecessary strike to an end.

Meagre, indeed, and cold, was the sympathy that a transgressor might look for, from such bystanders at the scaffold.
