- Amber; Bea
- Description
- COVID-19 has affected Amber in many ways and it became very real for her when she lost her job over night after moving to a new city. The support of people kept her going especially when she was losing hope after a while. She couldn't collect unemployment and horrible things were happening in the world around her and in her personal life including the loss of family. After some time she made it work. She got a full time job, moved, and things felt more normal despite not being so. The hope she has for us, and what she hopes we learn, is how important it is to have your own opinion and do your own fact checking and to come out stronger, more united, and understanding. Don't take life for granted - normal everyday things could be gone - things are constantly shifting and evolving.

- Amory Orchard; Maren Orchard
- Description
- Amory Orchard, a PhD student in Rhetoric and Composition at Florida State University, discusses the personal and professional impacts of COVID. As both a teacher and a student, she shares how this crisis has put her life into "a stasis of constant reflection" as she, along with others in her field, questioned how to transition to online. She has found that a mix of synchronous and asynchronous teaching is best, to check-in often with students but also to accomodate those whose access to technology is limited. Amory has found support among her students, as well as her graduate cohort, her family, and her cat, Teddy. She hopes that we will learn to check in with each other more, even when there is not a pandemic.

- Description
- Visual artist Ana Esteve Llorens, who is originally from Spain but now resides in Austin, TX, shares how COVID has impacted her. The pandemic has both changed and not changed her life: she has had to reinvent how she relates to her family, friends, and students, but as an artist working alone in her studio, she believes that the loneliness many are feeling is not new to her. Ana's passion for creating art has been a primary motivation, as well as her network of friends. She says that we must keep hope alive, and talks about how she has come to appreciate the things she had taken for granted before, such as "the rhythms dictated by nature". Ana ends by saying that she's positive we'll make it out of this crisis.

This means that she can spend more time with him, and is surviving thanks to increased interactions with family and friends in Chile and Columbia. She has also been playing games online for the first time, and meditating everyday. Thinking about new stories and research projects, and looking for a new home, has also kept her going. Andrea reflects on how this crisis has led her to realize how fragile economic and social structures are, and how everything is so connected right now.
