“When the pandemic arrived, my parents gave me a cat. With my pet, I found peace and tranquillity, but also responsibilities. Even if I didn’t have to get up early, I knew that the cat needed me for food and entertainment. Dante, my pet, became my biggest emotional support during quarantine.”
“When the situation due to the pandemic improved, I began to visit my great grandmother constantly. When we were together, I felt recovering the energy and motivation I needed to get over what we were living through.”
“I liked to keep myself distracted to manage my emotions, so I maintained myself occupied reading, singing, playing guitar, going out or even doing some of my university assignments.”

“From my meditations and self-reflecting moments, I highlight the maturity and personal growth I feel I have worked on little by little. I deem myself as a more serene person and a person who is rational with her actions that has found the emotional support she needs in her family and friends.”
