My individual chapter will explore how people found purpose, meaning, and hope during the pandemic. It will focus primarily on my focused interview participant; however, I intend to pull from my initial interview and elements from reports: 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12. I feel by emphasizing that this take on the pandemic wasn't necessarily unique, but an element in nearly half of the individuals we spoke too stories is crucial to the overarching COVID story.

I want to focus on how people have adapted to the pandemic & how it has affected their lifestyles. My two major references will be my two interviews, but I will also draw on the first round of class ones as well. Degrees, jobs, and socialization all went online, and I want to explore the effects that has had.

Acknowledging my growth, knowing my strengths, and what I found the most fun

# data[].attributes.body
I really want to focus on acknowledging my growth. I have seen myself change and grow in my writing. I've noticed how I have become more comfortable with taking criticism from my team members and I see my improvements.

Knowing my Strengths:
I think knowing my strengths helped me during my interviews. Being able to identify my strengths has given me a different confidence when going into the interviews.

The most fun:
The most fun I think I have had was learning how hard it is to study ethnography. I learned that in order to study a different social groups, I would need to put my own cultural beliefs aside.

My chapter will focus on interviews of people who either experience or knew someone who experienced the virus and how it has impacted their lives.

Similarly to Sabrina, my individual chapter will shed light on the how the pandemic may have changed our understanding of life, purpose, and loss. I will mostly pull from my first open-ended interview, as well as include some of the class's findings.

I will be focusing my chapter on how Social Media impacted peoples lives during the pandemic. I want to explore politics, mental health, and habitual behavior online over the course of quarantine and how this could have positively or negatively affected people.

I am going to focus on the effects of the pandemic on people's mental health surrounding the pandemic. My interviewees both talked about the lack of social interactions in-person with friends and family, so I want to highlight how this has impacted people's outlooks, emotional waves, and understanding of their current situation.

For my chapter I want to explore how covid has impacted mental health and how mental health has impacted individuals relationships to work, school, and their personal lives. I will explore what both my interviewees spoke about in terms of mental health as well as drawing from themes found in the remainder of the interview reports.

# data[].attributes.body
For my covid story, I'll be focusing on the mental health aspects of my first interview. It's been a wild year, and everyone's mental health has come in waves of good and then bad, and there are a lot of factors that contribute to it. I'll be reflecting on the lack of social interactions and how my interviewee felt about being at home for so long.

I will be focusing on the emotional impacts as well as the health impacts after surviving Covid.

I truly learned so much through my classmates through this course. I was inspired by the confidence in my classmates when coming up with ideas and creating conversation. I thought about things in very different ways because of the collaborative aspect of this class and I really valued that.

I would like to focus on how people uplifted each other and their communities through collaborative projects. My main source for research will come from the methods of collaboration utilized in this class (small groups, big groups, agency, etc.) I will also draw on my experiences working with a theater ensemble to produce and promote a show and other examples of collaboration that occurred over the course of 2020.

I learned that the best collaborations come from the teams that have great chemistry. Chemistry is something that is created, so as we slowly got comfortable in our groups, our conversations and ideas became from fruitful with each session.

I would like to acknowledge my growth in ethnography.

I've been able to learn how my people have been able to learn about their own mental health during this difficult time. It would appear that the pandemic has been a catalyst for people to figure out what they can do for themselves in concerns to helping foster their mental well-being.
