Mo when she was younger, thought she was above the teachers and she wished the teachers told her before that she's just a kid. She made a controller .Mo has kids. Mo hated school back then. She likes to virtual learning

She didn't like how a worker who was 40+ had to still work because she “knew everything”, while to her the workplace only protected others and not her.

She knows how it feels to have a lot then out of nowhere having nothing

Mo is from San Francisco. She thinks it's good to talk to your kids and have people to help others.

Mo is concerned for her partner who was deemed the only essential worker at her job.
Mo Felt that a lot of people at her job were protected and sent home with laptops, but not her partners. And she is the only African-American female at her job.
Mo is a good communicator and was inspired by her teachers that were great orators.
Mo feels like people in the community are checking in more often and wants this to continue after COVID.

The shelter in place, makes it a limit only to see certain people, and he can't see kids and do the things that he actually wanted to do, he also ended most activities that he used to do.  Benjamin feels like everything happening right now would only come from a movie and he was a little scared at first but knows that he has to stay calm. Benjamin has a change in his thoughts and he says that he is blessed compared to others. Benjamin is kind of scared for rising his kids, because jobs are lost and he mainly scared for their futures, he says to stay kind and that things are changing that even having kids, you have to be with certain amount of people.what Benjamin sees is that fear is spreading everywhere, and even in the workers.He saids that this virus can make their fear worse and that people want a choice even though they give these people rules to follow, also people dealing with different types of conditions that make it harder to talk about when they have to focus on other things like the virus. Shelter place is good for commutations and being together but for now everyone needs to stay apart and with people with mental issues or problems makes it hard for them to stay home be alone in these times. Benjamin used to go to the gym which he got to miss out on and go to the bar at sporting events and the virus really stops everything for Benjamin to stay together with his family. Benjamin takes away from this that there is a lot of pressure and that we have to be careful with what we say to each others because people are going through a lot, mainly in these hard times. Like how people are wondering where their next meal could come from or when and/or how their money will come and that makes it hard for everything and we should be careful and be aware of what we say. Benjamin wants to go somewhere with warm waters, like a beach or somewhere hot like that, when everything ends.]]> 2020-11-17 11:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jlawson43/uzamm7vll82di39s/wish/931206028 jlawson43 https://padlet.com/jlawson43/uzamm7vll82di39s/wish/931219702 Mohamed is an 18 year old high school senior from the Bronx, NY. Pandemic impacted him by he can’t play basketball, best friends brothers father passed due to COVID-19 like family to him, late 2019 he went through a deep depression and corona hit as he was getting better, was an out of the box thinker, one of his friends was killed protecting their other friend, his brother left home for a while during his depression, reevaluated his life, used to think his mother hated him, was a bad kid, is going to make the 2020 decade better and better himself and his future, doing college interviews and started making a better future, realized that he wasn’t the only person who went through a depression like that, biggest fear is being like everyone else, he started writing and rapping, Online school was pretty tough cause they were getting a lot more assignments than usual, it was a contributor to his anger, didn’t get to hang out with his friends as much as he would’ve liked]]> 2020-11-17 11:37:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jlawson43/uzamm7vll82di39s/wish/931219702 jlawson43 https://padlet.com/jlawson43/uzamm7vll82di39s/wish/931264380 Yazmin she 19 and from California she has a good relationship and it was hard for her parents to let go, but going back home feels normal and she feels like her parents thinks she is still in high school.

She feels lonely at times and she's less active. She's comfortable being alone and she used to be scared of being alone and now she finds it peaceful.she has been talking to friends and she has been calling people, she finds it important that she needs to help herself and what helps her inside too.
