Hello everyone,
So many changes have occurred in the last few weeks. I hope you are all adjusting well and stay safe by practicing social distance as well as regular hygiene.
Online classes have been the biggest hurdle for me. I've never liked it and preferred being face to face with my peers and professors. I miss talking and learning from and about people, as well as sharing our ideas. It takes me more time to learn concepts when I'm reading them to myself. I learn by someone explaining and giving examples then challenging me by asking questions. I don't know if others feel the same, but I guess Zoom will suffice for now.
It's interesting how a college education can help better understand the complexities of the pathogen we're facing today. Everything I learned from Bio 181 to genetics is helping me understand this. I'm sure you all feel the same about what you've learned through your educational experience.
These are incredibly difficult times and I hope everyone is taking extra precautions. Most importantly don't be discouraged, life will go on and our educational endeavors will continue. This is a bump in the road and we will get through this.
