From the very beginning, we hear that humans are social beings who
cannot live without other people but during the pandemic, we learnt
different things. In order to survive, we saw that we could live isolatedly,
so there are many things we could do by ourselves. For knowledge
achievement, we took part in online classes and registered for other
online courses. After the pandemic, people can live more independently
and have better life skills. Students are able to use online tools in learning.
Some students are used to online classes, and they even prefer this kind of
class over traditional classes because they can do whatever they want
during in-class time. This is undoubtedly having a negative impact on
their studies. However, online classes are beneficial if students learn
seriously. Many students have made progress in their learning despite
attending online classes. In short, the pandemic brought unexpected
consequences to people’s lives; however, it helped us explore our
potentials and understand ourselves better.
