COVID-19. From early 2020, the world has drastically changed because of this virus, and as of today over 6.5 million people have died from this lethal disease and the economic halt caused by its rampancy has damaged society in all directions. A month ago, unfortunately, I fell victim to this disease, hence forcing me to quarantine for a week. I would like to share some experiences that I went throughout this week. My initial symptoms were light, including a light fever of 37.5celcius degrees, coughing, a runny nose, and a sore throat. My recovery was smooth as well, and I was back to my usual health within 3 days. During the week of solitude and boredom, I had the opportunity to focus solely on myself and my hobbies. Specifically, playing the guitar. Music has always been a big part of me, and with nothing else to do, I immersed greatly into playing rock/pop songs on my guitar. Now that I reflect on this, I realized that this week of free time was very important to me, as it allowed me to re-ignite my passion for music, and develop my guitar skills astronomically. Time is limited. It is often hard for us to find the time to reexamine ourselves and actively do what we want. Under those circumstances, I also came to conclude the significance of the clubrooms, as it promotes behaviour that allows students to use their time to find and grow their hobbies, socialize, and or use their creativity. It is a beautiful opportunity that everyone should experience, and it might be the trigger of finding new aspects about yourself, just like I did.
２０２０年より猛威を振るい、６５０万人以上の死者を出しているコロナウィルス。経済的打撃も物凄く、社会に大きなダメージを与えました。一ヶ月前、不運なことに、僕はコロナウイルスに感染してしまいました。よって、一週間の隔離生活をすることとなりました。その中で見つけたことを今日はみなさんにシェアしたいと思います。僕の場合、症状自体は軽く、微熱、咳、鼻水、喉の痛みくらいしかありませんでした。ものの三日間で元に戻ることができました。一週間の孤独により暇を持て余した僕はギターに没頭しました。昔から音楽が好きだった僕ですが、ギターに夢中になったことにより、その素晴らしさを改めて感じることができました。時間は有限です。忙しい生活の中で、自分時間を生み出すのは大変なことです。そこで、clubroomsの素晴らしさは、生徒が自分と向き合い、好きなことをする時間を供給してくれることだという結論に至りました。僕みたいに、自分をもっと知ることにより新たな趣味などを見つける可能性があります。
