How will Covid-19 shape our future?

As you know that COVID-19 came to Turkey in March. After that our school closed for one week. At that time we were in quarter semester break. After semester break our school started to deliver online lessons via Zoom. Before the pandemic I wanted to study medicine in Turkey and I don’t have any idea about other jobs. We had 2 lessons per day from March to June. In May I joined Loy community which builds start-up. Until July I worked at least for 3 hours for start-up as a product manager. After that I realised that I love creating new things. In summer I watched a bunch of videos about engineering and business and I decided to work in business&technology. On August 31 our school started again. Online classes are less efficient than face to face education but we must stay at home. As I have lots of free time during this lockdown and I started to learn new skills for my future. Also two of my friends want to become an engineer in the future and we decided to start coding lessons. We communicate every day for improving our coding skills and we have lots of fun. I can say that pandemic gives me time for recognize myself and I found a purpose in my life during that time. Also I learned that sometimes solitude could be a good thing to think about the importance of “now”.
