I´m in second year of social work and honestly, I don´t know how many things a social worker can do. But I´ve been thinking that I see myself in a school, because I like the environment, talk with people and I think I´m good at handling problems. Also, I´ve been thinking if I prefer an outdoor or indoor work, and I was thinking if I could work in both, because I would love to live in a rural area, with mountains around, lots of nature and pure air. So, I would like to work in a rural school, where I could work indoor with the students and the community and also being in my comfort zone surrounded by nature.

Basically I don´t have time to do what I like. Also, It´s sad that a t the moment, I haven´t met my classmates, but

The pandemic has affected people in many ways, one of them is the stressed that provocates live in quarantine, limiting our social relationships and with the restriction of do not go outside if it´s not necessary. Another problem that people has going through this time, is that be locked up is exhausting, because it´s feels like every days is the same routine.  This pandemic has changed the way we live, and telecommuting is the new way of work. The only problem with this method is that requires internet connection and sometimes if this one is not working well, that could be an obstacle for people that must have meetings online for example. Also, a new habit that people has started to do almost every day, that perhaps they didn´t practice before with frequency are: cook and keep the spaces of the house clean and organized. Another changes that we´ve been doing this pandemic, is do or practice activities that distract us, like for example: practice yoga, meditate, watch a series, to kni
