Please share your experience working with students during the pandemic?

Working with students during this pandemic has its ups and downs. Especially since we are virtual. However, working virtually has been amazing because the students are always smiling, laughing, and just very engaged in school. They really bring out the best of you because they are always so positive. If it wasn’t for my students, I think virtual teaching would be a lot harder than what it is now. Remember, things are what you make them!

What advice would you give to people during this pandemic?

Stay positive and make sure you have self-care days. Don’t let this pandemic get the best of you!! YOU GOT THIS!
