I’m going to discuss something I haven’t touched on before, I had the opportunity to have a conversation with a young lady about her personal experiences during the pandemic since she was in school at the time. 

I propose that our country and, specifically, our children, have gone through a trauma. Then layer that with the constant warning signs everywhere, being treated like a walking contagion, apps that connected you with infection rates in your area giving out alerts, businesses going out, non-stop social media posts, death tolls up on every news station, and being blocked from even participating in holidays, birthdays, weddings, or funerals.
