Abstract:
COVID-19 has caused a significant change in humans' daily living. From having to wear masks, social separation, online schooling, and being separated from the people we care about. The purpose of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of the lived experience of COVID-19 survivors in senior high school and see if it had an impact on their aspirations. This study adopted a phenomenological research design and a purposive sampling technique. It was conducted at the senior high school department of Dr. Yanga's Colleges Inc. Seven (7) students who fit the criteria were chosen to be informants for this study. The study discovered that COVID-19 impacted many of the survivors' life perspectives, habits, mindsets, and aspirations. Their respective experiences also overlap and differ in certain areas. The researchers recommend the formation of support groups and communities for people who have had similar experiences as a way for them to connect and understand themselves on a deeper level.
