katherine- Journal Entry of Activity April 8th, 2020

These vacations were different from others. Instead of going out and sharing with friends I stayed home and took care of my family. I have always been a very active person. I like to play soccer, it is my favorite hobby and what helps me stay happy. This is why when I was at home I had to learn to be patient and try to de-stress with different things. I decided to go running to places where no people live. I enjoyed nature and everything around me, despite the fact that for a long time I lived in this place I had never taken the time to observe and know the beautiful places that my community has. This taught me to be persistent in what I propose, I went out running almost every day and tried to stay active to focus on the positive side of this situation, I was able to meet and learn new things. It also made me more reflective. I had time to think about the situation we are all living in and about the things we need to do to make this change. We have to see the beauty of nature and how important it is to take care of it, learn to see the positive in each situation and it was nice to see how in my community we support each other. Seeing the solidarity of people made me hope in humanity and that we can change.
