1.22. Six COVID19 Student Stories (with Community College Students)

SMCCHistory Season 1 Episode 22

Today's episode combines six student stories. Each narrator  was asked, "How has COVID19 affected your life as a student?" They responded in a variety of ways. 

  • I'm worried about my wife, who is in the armed forces. 
  • Am I risking the health of my family by keeping my essential job? 
  • How can I learn public speaking in an online class?
  • Sometimes I forget I'm a student because I'm distracted by supporting my family without a full-time job. 
  • I'm learning - not just in my own classes, but because now I'm homeschooling a kindergartner and a high school senior while also trying to balance my own homework and online lectures.  
  • I just hope life goes back to normal. This makes me sad. Anxious.
