Talk about how the events of recent months have affected either your work or your ability to work.

This weeks pandemic journaling project asked about how COVID has impacted working for me in the past couple of months. Before COVID I had a part-time job at JC Penny in Brooklyn trying to save up some money for my freshman year of college. I initially generally worked around 4-5 hours 3-4 times out of the week but when COVID first started to hit in the US being only a part-time worker my hours started to decrease to almost none at all. Now when COVID became out of control in NYC everything closed down and with that my job was gone as well. By the time things finally started to reopen in the city my store was closing down with bankruptcy and they decided not to bring me back for the 2-3 months before they closed. The whole pandemic left me with about 4 months of not being to work or make money at all.
