"I've been thinking a lot about my family, my friends, and my students. I am reminded of how much we take for granted; things like toilet paper!

As a teacher, I really miss seeing my students every day. I worry for the ones where school is their constant, but now there is no school for them to attend. I also commend all the parents who are now my online co-teachers. I am awed and grateful how everyone has come together and stepped up to the plate to ensure that learning continues because these children are our future. It truly warms my heart. So, shout out to the parents! You got this!

My daughter is in her senior year of high school. While I could not have asked for a better isolation buddy, one who has dance parties with me in the kitchen and helps me put together a window scavenger hunt for all of the neighbourhood kid in desperate need of 'recess,' I worry that she will miss so many of those milestones that last year of school would normally bring. What will grad look like and will she be able to wear that gorgeous dress we bought so many months ago? Will she get to say goodbye to her teachers, fellow students and friends or walk the halls one last time? What will it look like for her to attend university in the fall?

This pandemic has affected us all. As I reflect on what to share in response to this amazing project, I am reminded of just how fortunate we really are. We are here, living history. We have food. We are warm. We have shelter. Most importantly, we have each other."
