Covid during School

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

This is a text story and it is from personal experience.

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

Going to school during a pandemic is something nobody would ever have imagined happening. During school we must wear masks at all times whenever we are not 6 feet apart. This is important to me because it affects my personal life and my education which is something that I need to have.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?

A mask is something that has been around for a long time, this object is something that everybody is having to become accustomed to because we will have to wear these for a long time. It makes me feel slightly restricted and it is a constant reminder that we are in a pandemic and makes things feel less normal. This object relates to the pandemic because it what helps keep the spread under control.

Who originally created this object? (If you created this object, such as photo, then put "self" here.)

Mike Richardson
