How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

My professional life has forever changed immensely during this pandemic. I have found it very challenging to exhibit strength and determination in the face of adversity. An educator is revered and vulnerable to students. Educators are never expected to show defeat especially not in the front line of students. My students have witnessed the opposite. They have seen my fears, concerns, doubts, and anger. I have exhibited a great deal of vulnerability. However, my students and I have wedged a lasting bond. Students are able to see that teachers are not only their superheroes but are human, too.
