COVID-19 Is Unmasking The True Heroes In Our World — Healthcare Workers

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown people that the true heroes in our lives are doctors.

Doctors, alongside nurses, are the first responders to the COVID-19 pandemic and have been putting their lives on the line every single day to make sure that no one else has to. Since this pandemic has started, there has been an exponential growth in posts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and news sources of appreciation towards doctors and health care workers.

The COVID-19 pandemic is giving people that aren't usually exposed to medicine in daily life the realization of how important doctors are.

These posts of appreciation toward those who work in healthcare aren't anything new, but they certainly have not been this frequent and with such a large scope. I believe that people have always been grateful to doctors, but they haven't felt the need to show appreciation to these heroes on a daily occurrence. Typically, that kind of praise and appreciation is given to celebrities, but now, finally, they are directed at healthcare workers. It is very endearing and heartwarming that we recognize their heroism.

Our support for healthcare workers cannot fade after COVID-19 has been eradicated and is just a memory.

Our love and support for healthcare workers should continue throughout our day-to-day lives. Doctors do not only step up during pandemics — they step up every day.

As a daughter of a pediatrician, I've witnessed firsthand how doctors are heroes.

After working in my mother's office, I saw the compassion and care that she shows each patient to ensure a healthy life. It's important to realize that every day a doctor holds life in their hands and does whatever is in their power to save it. Every day a doctor, like my mom, holds a newborn in their hands and starts the journey of providing a lifetime of care. Doctors play such an integral role in our lives.

They make sure that every human life is given the chance at the pursuit of happiness with the best odds.

They've always been our heroes, now we're finally giving them the praise they deserve.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
