AN ORAL HISTORY: STUDENTS AND THE PANDEMIC
RESILIENCE “Their resilience is a superpower.” – Math teacher Heather Berry THE PANDEMIC has hurled experiences at young people that adults two and three times their age struggle to cope with. Put to this test, teenagers learned things about themselves, and about life, that many adults are still working on. Some may have been hurt to varying degrees, but they have grown wiser and stronger. Prevailing through a pandemic, they are better prepared for what life may bring next. Here on the next 12 pages, largely in their own words, are their stories.
