Sheryl is a businesswoman selling fresh fruits. It was the favorite of many because she sells them at a mininal price, and guaranteed fresh. Her husband died when her children are still very young, thus she needs to work for them to be able to get through. At times, her children joins her in selling.

A nearby shop was closed down, and she decided to rent the vacated stall for her expansion. The contract was finally signed, and gave a downpayment. Aside from fruits being sold, she also decided to establish a fruit juice shake stand along the stall. Of course, it was a success because she allows her customers to choose the fruit they wanted. Yes, it's freshly blended shake.

Then the news about corona virus is in the headlines. Fruits are just newly delivered. The government announced community quarantine, and advised people to stay indoors, and establishments be closed. Worrying about the cost of her stocks, she decided to sell them half off disregarding the profit, as long as she can take some. It is also her way to help others knowing the vitamins that can be acquired from the fruits. Afterwards, she closed down her stalls.

Sheryl just took mostly foods, and disinfectants for their safety. She tried to eliminate her worries so she can focus on the right thing to do.

She then cleaned her house, sprayed them with disinfectant to keep everyone from the household safe. She advised her children not to go out, so they won't get infected. Sheryl has lots of worries, but she relied on God through prayers, to keep them safe and everyone.

As much as possible, she obeyed whatever the government has told everyone to do, to stop the spread of the virus. She never complained, she just obeyed accordingly. As we see, Sheryl is a responsible mother, businesswoman, and a citizen. We can all become the kind of person she was for being responsible.
