CASE STUDY: WHAT DID QUARANTINE TEACH YOU MOST ABOUT YOURSELF? SURVEYOR: DALAL ALJABR RESPONDENTS: 13 REGION: EASTERN PROVINCE, SAUDI ARABIA typing... Basma’s mom says, \"This quarantine has allowed Basma to finally learn her family’s names since they were constantly spending time with her at home. She also experimented a lot with new words, animal sounds, and walking styles!\" Basma, 1 year old \"This quarantine allowed me to experiment and try new things. One of the main things that I focused on is cooking. I spent every day in the kitchen cooking with my mom and I learned valuable skills from her. This made me depend more on myself and learn how to make a contribution in the house.\" Mais, 10 years old \"This is day 63 of quarantine and time is passing faster than usual. I feel this weird space between me and the streets, the lights, the stores, the sun; but it's quite interesting when it comes to the ways people cope with this virus. Although it is very hard to stay at home when you get very bored, I found one thing that I never knew I could love to pass my time. I've been recently into writing and journaling, and I find it very therapeutic since it's a way of reflecting. I always found writing tiring because I had nothing interesting to write about but this quarantine experience has allowed me to experiment with writing, see what I could write. I've always admired my sister’s writing and in this quarantine I realized why she loves it so much, and I'm glad that this experience led me to follow her footsteps.\" Noor, 12 years old \"Quarantine was a well-needed break for me. It was a chance for me to reflect upon myself and set my goals and typing... 47 | THE DAS MAG

I’m grateful that I was able to invest my time during this pandemic.\" Leen, 16 years old \"That I definitely care more about cats than humans.\" Anonymous, 16 years old \"If I am committed to organizing and using the time I have wisely, then I have the power to be productive, and ultimately achieve much more than what I intend to as I am on my path of self-growth and development. Quarantine gave me the opportunity to focus on the things that mattered without outside distraction that can be negative sometimes. It shifted my narrative; I started to have an optimistic outlook on the work I was doing for school and the preparation I was doing for standardized tests. Before quarantine I’d say that I was “stressed”. Now I’d say I am “under divine pressure because I am birthing something great.” Layan, 17 years old \"For someone who has always labeled themself as ‘extroverted’ and ‘outgoing’, it took me this time to come to terms with balancing my energy internally and externally. As an ‘outgoing’ person that thrived on the high pace of this world, I realized how much I needed to work on my willpower now that I was finally free. For the longest time I preached many things that I found myself rarely applying when life took a pause. It feels difficult yet good to go back to the roots of those core lessons.\" Dalal, 17 years old \"Spending all this time alone in quarantine showed me many perspectives about myself I previously neglected. This time allowed me to uncover so much about my relationship with myself, how I handle my thoughts and how I connect with others. Although I’m grateful for what I’ve learned, I feel overwhelmed by the amount of these discoveries. I now need to direct myself on where to go next after I’ve made these self-discoveries.\" Anonymous, typing... 48 | THE DAS MAG
typing... 20 years old I learned that as a very outgoing person, I was able to discover new ways to occupy my time, that I am able to learn from home and have fun at home, as much as I used to do when I was learning or having fun outside. I also learned that connection through social media will never be like connecting in real life; there is a spark that is always missing that you can only get through face-to-face interaction. Reema, 21 years old \"As an ambitious individual who lives by planning, quarantine definitely taught me that good things can come out of the unexpected. I’m slowly letting my guard down and trying to allow myself to steer away from what I \"originally held onto.
