Dear diary,
As I said before I am one of
those privileged that can stay at home without any worries. One of the main
reason for that is my university, EAFIT that is an example of responsibility and
organization during crisis times. I feel sad because obviously, I want to go
outside and do whatever, but at least I can study from home. I think the
process of learning changed completely but I am glad that I have the backup of
my university. EAFIT as a university has a huge role for the society just for
the fact of being one of the centers for learning processes. I remember when I
received the mail that cancelled all our classes for one week, normally you
think “oh great I don’t have class for one week”, but then I release that life
is giving us a lesson because right now I would love to stay in a classroom
seeing people or just receiving a lecture. EAFIT was very responsible with us,
and is still being responsible and putting all the effort through the professors
that give us class every day. In addition, I have to point out how human my
university is, allowing students with problems to borrow computers and receive
class, or even promoting events in order to support students with any kind of
problem, from economic to psychological. I don’t like the virtual classes, but I’m
conscious of the effort that my university and my professors are putting in the
process, and just for that corresponds me to put my part too. Sometimes I think
that I am having a hard time, and well I am not happy at all, but then I think
that my university is giving me all the guarantees even on the distance, is
very well organized, and gave us great advices in terms of well behavior. EAFIT
can be a great example of organization in comparison with other universities,
gave us all the tools that we need, give us responsible advices that are in the
same line with the governmental policies, and finally, made me think that I
made the right decision choosing the institution that gives me knowledge.
Now, let’s have a bigger picture
on my country Colombia. Colombia is one of those countries not very affected by
the virus, but I think the government within on what is capable of, made the
right choices. I am worried for that people that is suffering and as I said in
one of my posts, that living for them depends on going outside. But let’s look
to the policies, right now they are very simple, just trying to stay at home
and get what is necessary for living, and now I am glad to see that Colombian
people can be very solidary. Many people complain, because of course that is
the main thing that you do when doing nothing. That’s why I have to give the
point to the government, and I mean the regional and the national. First, I
think all regional governments are aligned in the same line trying to stop the
situation. Second, believe it or not the country is already prepared for a
worst situation than the one that we are living today, I think it took the
right choices because running a country is not as simple as saying “close
everything now”. And personally I think this is one of those countries accustomed
to crisis, so I have faith. Finally, I
think that the government is still doing a good job, provide us with
information every day, and give us the proper recommendations (another thing is
that people do not comply), but in general terms we always can be worst. The
situation is not perfect but just look to our neighbors and then to us, and
then understand that this country is still moving and working to prevent worse
scenarios.
