That's a good thing, like Robyn Corum, you're a Rumanian version of here, you are quirky, different, and make up your own mind as to attitude and be what God created you to be, and not what others expect. Well done Iza, blessings and happy Easter.
Typo : In a magical kingdom(,) 2: I love to swim in a type (of glimpse) of water.
3: I chose (you)... to live my life with the good, the bad and the ugly.
4: so it's time to (pick) up my cross, Take?

This is an inspiring essay about how you handled life during the pandemic. It is well written and I love the details and examples you talked about in your story. If I may, I noticed a few things you might look at for modification:

Last year I realized that this Covid it's a test of endurance.
- it's should be is

I chose you my life with the bad, the good, and the ...
- maybe you could change the word "you "too... "To live my life "
You switch back and forth between the word "chose "and "choose "and I recommend that you pick one of them and stick with it all the way through your story.


I hope this is helpful. Best of luck to you in the contest. Hugs.

I like the message that you put in your first line:
"I choose to live even if I'm scared of the unknown. I went through a lot, but compared with others I had a beautiful life."
We know that others are going through a lot more pain.

I love your optimism. Thank you for sharing that you made a choice to not let the circumstances of the past year, keep you from enjoying life to its fullest. I think the year has been good for us in so many ways, especially to take one day at a time, trusting the Lord to guide us and keep us.

I enjoyed your contest entry, Iza. You handled the prompt well. Your details of why you made the choices you did about your life were told well. I loved the way you incorporated how your grandparents and your dad were part of your decision.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

So right you are. We have to go on living regardless of COVID or whatever other adversity we might be facing. I hope it will be possible to get back to normal, and soon. I'm glad you found joy in swimming, and people certainly deserve a break from the circumstances in which we've been forced to live. I especially love your last paragraph. In your seventh paragraph, I think it would be better to use Covid is a test of endurance. Good luck in the contest! judi

This is a beautiful and encouraging piece. There are many who suffer all sorts of sad and unfortunate things that they write about. My heart goes out to them. But, it is great to hear from someone who loves life and lives life to the fullest regardless to what is going on around them. Thank you for this uplifting view of life. May God continue to bless you with hope, faith and love. Best wishes in the contest.

You are so right that even with social distancing, there are still lots of things we can do and places we can go and. It just sit in the house and mope. Good for you for being you!

We all had choices to make last year because of the virus and consequent lockdown. We learnt to get to know each other again, as well as get to know ourselves. I think this was a test, some passed, some failed. But at the end of it, if our faith is strong, we will come out the other side much better people. (Hopefully) Well done, I liked reading your choices, they were excellent. Good luck in the contest. :) Sandra xx
