- Kelcy; Adrienne Pine
- Description
- Kelcy is a transfer student at American University, currently a third-year anthropology major. COVID has had affected her in a number of ways, one of those being the death of a family member. Additionally, Kelcy had to move back in with her mom instead of moving to DC, and she hasn't seen her dad in over a year because of restrictions on international flights. Despite these challenges, Kelcy credits her parents with getting her through the crisis, as well as her partner. Her goal of getting into law school has helped her to stay motivated in school. She hopes that people grow to understand the importance of community from this pandemic, especially because the government is not providing needed support. Ideally, she says the government should listen more to people and offer free access to treatment and testing. Finally, she hopes that society moves away from capitalism, which has shown itself to be unsustainable.

- Marc Minsker; Maren Orchard
- Description
- Marc Minsker, a D.C. Public Schools high school teacher, talks about the impact of COVID, specifically on the Class of 2020. He shares how he thinks the pandemic will shape the personal histories of all 3.5 million high school seniors in America: how they were deprived the right to celebrate their graduations, and face a considerable amount of uncertainty. Marc thinks that while other students and teachers will have time to adjust going into next year, for the Class of 2020, high school is over. He does, however, hope that they will meet the future with optimism and a collective sense that "we got this." He ends by reminding us that behind every mask is a face and a story.
