The story I uploaded is my personal and serious experience with the pandemic. I outlined my thoughts and feelings, and every important detail that I felt was a highlight of the COVID-19 experience. What I've submitted is important to me because it captures my story. I have a voice to finally represent what is possibly one of the most pivotal times in not just America, but the world as well.
