Hi, my name is Fitria Hardono, and I'm an undergraduate student at ASU, enrolled in HST (history) 494. The date is February 21, 2021. The time is 9:41am. And I'm speaking with Joyce Lee.

I want to ask you a question about your pandemic experience. But before I do, I would like to ask you for your consent to record this response for the COVID-19 archive.

Thank you. And now, I'd like to ask you a quick question about the pandemic. We've experienced a lot of changes and 2020. And unfortunately, many of those have been negative and disruptive. But perhaps it's not entirely bad. What's one positive thing you've experienced during the pandemic?

I got to spend more time with my family.

Well, my husband and I did puzzles together. And we went on walks around her neighborhood and just generally spent more time together.
