Before Covid, what was your average day?
Interviewee 0:12
My average day before Covid was wake up, take a shower, get dressed, all the basic stuff that you do in the morning. And then I’d go to school, hang out with my friends after school… I would either chill at home, go to dance class, or go to S.T.R.O.N.G. [Youth, Inc.]

My day is like now I wake up very, very late. And I usually go on my laptop or my brother’s iPad because my phone is broken. And my mom tries her best to make us do stuff, make us do fun stuff since, since Covid is going on and she has a lot of work so we don’t do it every day but we do it some days.

My dad is at work right now so he can’t go on a walk with us but it’s gonna be me and my mom since my brothers are going on a bike ride with their friend.
