Honestly, during the COVID-19 outbreak, it was quite stressful to know that families were losing their babies or elderly loved ones because the virus had infiltrated their homes; sadly, many families were afraid even to go out to buy groceries. Since I was living alone at the time, every weekend I personally delivered a box of basic subsistence...

Hi, Be honest, it is my first time working on this project, and I have no idea what I need to do. I look at my instructions, and it is not clear where to start. The reason I take this course is that it is part of my requirements to graduate from PCC and start university. I know I will learn a lot, I'm excited, but at the same time, I'm nervous....

To make sure my pets do not harm local wildlife, I can keep them supervised when they are outside, use a leash when walking the, and make sure they stay in safe, controlled areas. Being a responsible pet owner also means training them and not letting them roam freely. This helps protect wildlife and keep my pets safe from danger or getting...

Expressing gratitude and doing small acts of kindness made me feel more positive and appreciative, and I think it also made the other people feel seen and valued. iIt helped me realize that small actions can really brighten someones day.

Exercising each day has helped improve my physical and mental resilience because I have more energy, strength, and confidence in myself.

Today, I did not have anything local but I did not eat very much today. I ate all of my vegetables and fruit purchased locally and need to get more but the next farmers market is Thursday.

My surplus food went to this small wooden box that we have in my neighborhood, and essentially anyone can drop off canned food or other goods that you want to donate to members of our community. It’s a first come first serve system so whoever needs it can grab what they need and also leave anything if they’d like to, I think it’s a neat idea...

After meditating I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders, and I particularly noticed that I had more mental clarity and optimism. In the other hand, before meditating I often caught myself having brain fog, feeling tired, and even overwhelmed when I didn’t perform my meditation before beginning my school work. I quickly learned that...

Eating more fruits and vegetables instead of meat made me feel more energetic, rather than drowsy. I typically nap at some point after 6 PM, but after eating banana’s, blueberries, and strawberries as snacks I didn’t feel the need to nap or eat junk food. I felt like it filled me up, and I didn’t feel that temptation to snack on candy or chips....
