Personal Awareness and Responsibility

Whenever I’m feeling discouraged about my work or performance, I like to step back and take a break so I do not overwork myself. Looking back at my previous successes and things that I am proud of also helps put me back into a positive mindset. I destress by listening to my favourite music and by watching television shows or movies. Once I felt motivated again, I would continue to work towards improvement.

One of my big learning goals would be to get accepted into the University of British Columbia (UBC). My future goals are to earn a degree in pharmacy and to ultimately become a pharmacist. I chose these goals to challenge myself so that, in the end, I can be successful. As of right now, I am going to work on these goals by studying hard and maintaining good grades throughout high school. I also plan to take biology, chemistry, and physics in grade eleven to enhance my understanding of the sciences, since my goal requires vast knowledge on this subject.

Summary of Article

During these hard times, many people are doing their best to spread positivity and happiness. In the article I listed above, it explained that many people around the world, specifically Europeans are “singing health workers’ praises every night from windows”. The health workers saw this and responded with a video, where they are in health facilities, wearing masks, and holding up a sign that read, “We are all in this together”.

Reflection

I think the article was written to spread awareness to those who haven’t contributed in thanking health care workers yet. It was important enough for me to share because I also agree with the article and everyone should know that there are people out there that are still spreading happiness to others during these times. This act of kindness has improved the moods of health care workers and other civilians and gave hope.
