Collected Item: “Project 2020”

Give your story a title.

Project 2020

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

This is a book of poetry that I have created in an effort to have my voice and experience remembered.

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.

This book of poetry was for an English assignment for my 11th grade class after we transitioned to remote learning. I thought it was a very powerful time to share my opinion in an ever-increasingly digital world and my voice may be heard in future years for strangers to hear. I share political shames in this book, my everyday experiences during the stay-at-home order, and the experiences of those around me.

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?
