We hear a lot these days about the economic impact of the pandemic. Has this been on your mind? If so, tell us what you're thinking.

For this weeks journal entry, I wanted to focus on <strong>how the pandemic has affected the economic status of my family.</strong> At the beginning of COVID-19, there was a general sense of being uncertain what the future holds. As things got worse, and more restrictions were being enacted, being uncertain turned into worry.<strong> My dad ended up losing his job</strong> working as head of sales for a small coffee business. <strong>Because of this, I was forced to work longer hours, and pitch in </strong>on groceries and other basic supplies. <strong>These times have taught me how important family can be, and how things can change in an instant.</strong>
