Deciding When to Get the Vaccine

I think it is important to take your age and risk factors in consideration before taking the coronavirus vaccine. If you are over 65 or have other health problems that put you at risk, the risk associated with taking the vaccine could be worth it based on what you gain from its protection. However, if you have been asymptomatic or relatively healthy throughout the pandemic and are not at high risk, it might be smart for you to be slow to take a vaccine that was just created since it has not been put through the trials most approved vaccines go through to insure it is safe and effective. So, the right decision to take the vaccine or not could be different for different groups of people. Although most people my age completed their bachelor degree about ten years ago, I feel blessed to be back in college and working towards my goals. Ten years ago, I did not know I was interested in language or construction. I did not know what I wanted to do like so many people in their teens and twenties. This generation is so far from carpentry and construction that I could have went much longer before being exposed to it and finding out I enjoyed working on construction projects. I would probably be back in school changing my major if I had completed another bachelor's degree now that I have figured it out. I'm glad I didn't waste my pell grants on the wrong major. I have blossomed so much in my thirties. It is even harder to learn a language at my age than it was when I was a child. Yet, I have grown so much despite my age. I feel like my genius has been waking up. I am using more and more of my brain than ever before, and it really is miraculous. I have taught myself how I can eventually speak Spanish and Portuguese like a native. I remember struggling listening to the radio in Portuguese and how different it is now. The speed is not the issue. It's about my learning all the vocabulary. When I do not know a word, I can quickly look it up on my phone. I learn new words from reading difficult books and watching programs about animals in the wild. I am good at grammar and reading comprehension. I often understand the gist of what they were saying although I may miss some details. I understand enough for everything to be in Spanish or Portuguese. I see the truth about how Spanish and Brazilians can be racist. I also see how some of them are Christian like sertanejo singer Michel Telo. He puts God first in his life.
