It has been about three months since requested self-isolation. I mostly spent this period at home. Speaking of changes, I thought about what I could do and started studying nutrition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the future, when I thought about the worst case of losing my job I thought making a change without having a job on hand would be difficult, and I worried about my health during self-isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I did my absolute best to avoid spending money, but since I had some work leave compensation, I got the materials for the You Can \u201cEating Habits Advisor\u201d and am studying every day. However, given that coronavirus will affect the exam next year, I am in no hurry to study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to that, I found an organization called Masterpiece (https:\/\/peraichi.com\/landing_pages\/view\/masterpiecejp2017) that established a Youth Emergency Fund and I applied to it. The Youth Emergency Fund is a support for youth in facilities and fostered youth who have been financially affected by coronavirus. I was well aware that there were people who were seriously struggling more than me, but I had to go through the process of worrying about myself first and I said to myself, \u201cI will be myself tomorrow\u201d. I was relieved that people responded kindly to this process. There is a certain extent that we can be helped by knowing where we are and what to do. I am glad to know the peace of mind of being supported at any age. Oftentimes we are afraid to speak out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had the opportunity to be introduced by an active IFCA SA (supportive adult) as part of a university class and share my experiences at my facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was an online class and I worried whether the students would listen as I spoke, but everyone sent a lot of thoughts in the comments later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was surprised by the differences between our normal and Ikumi\u2019s normal. One person\u2019s daily life can be extraordinary to someone else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everyone\u2019s comments exceeded 10,000 characters in total, I was filled with anxiety reading each and every one of them, but there were days when I thought my way of life wasn\u2019t so bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, work will resume after July. But I do not think things will go back to what they were (before coronavirus). (Coronavirus\u2019 influence has been very great, and the world is a bit slower now). I expect that after the summer it will suddenly be greater than it was before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I cannot relax and laugh yet but since I think it is useless to stop, I will do everything that I can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That was June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
