Life with COVID-19
 by Airi Koyama, Hikari Miyabayashi, Koki Baba, Shiho Honda

This video shows the school life, which has been severely affected by the pandemic of COVID-19, and the struggles we had due to the restrictions made to prevent the further spread of the epidemic. We feel this is important because teenage years give us various experiences that cannot be replaced or retrieved when we become an adult and are unable to be taken back. Due to the pandemic, we lost many opportunities and chances that we could have in high school life. We thought we should think more about our own valuable time in school, students’ lives, even in this hard situation. Therefore we made this video to learn more deeply about our situation before complaining and try to deliver our passion to people around the world. We hope people will recognize how serious changes in students’ lives were made by COVID-19. Also, this may change people’s minds which leads them to refrain from going outdoors. Lastly, we hope you enjoy and learn how serious your actions can be, how they can affect others, and notice our passion towards our own teenage years through watching our video.   

This video was made by students from Tokyo Gakugei University International Secondary School for the Japan Association for Language Teaching's Performance in Education SIG (https://jalt.org/groups/sigs/performa...​) conference on Feb. 20, 2021.
