As far as I can remember, there has never been a time where I have had to be away from my family and those I love. I have always been able to see them as frequently or as little as I wanted. The future of the world/planet seems so uncertain at this time and it’s hard to predict what’s in store... I do think that things will get worse before they get better. One of the dreams I have for my child is definitely a world without covid and so many restrictions. I dream of the day where we/he can go outside again and not have to wear a mask, or not have to be so aware of not touching surfaces, and having to maintain distance from others. For future generations, I would like them to know that this year has been one of the hardest we’ve had to endure. (In my opinion)... I would also like for them to keep this year in the back of their minds, just incase something like this were to ever happen again they can be better prepared. My relationship with uncertainty can be labeled as tragic. I dislike not knowing or not being able to envision what will happen next. It’s definitely not a good feeling. Distance seems unbelievably hard right now. Ever since covid started I think we have all become a lot more conscious about those we can’t see or talk to due to the distance. In regards to time, there are days that seem to fly by for me and there are also days that feel extremely long. Thankfully everyone who I would consider essential in my life are near by and with the help of technology we have been able to maintain contact. My house definitely feels crowded. Although there aren’t many of us in the home, there are days when there doesn’t seem to be enough space for everyone. Seeking alone time for me usually looks like taking a drive, or sitting in my basement for a little bit. Something kind that my son and I did recently was to empty out his toy boxes and donate them ! Especially with Christmas being around the corner it was the perfect time. A message that I would tell myself a year ago would be, to appreciate the time I have with others a little more. things that I’m worried about would be; My child’s academic journey My family’s well being My place of employment The future Things that I am grateful for; Having family close by All of us within the household being healthy Having steady income Having food on the table Date When was this created? 12/03/2020 Location Where was this item created?

Tips & Tricks for Travel During COVID-19 Description What is it all about? <div dir="auto">Travel during covid??<br /><br /></div> <div dir="auto">My tips/reflection:<br /><br /></div> <div dir="auto">•Cooperate! There are many restrictions- just like in RI/MA some places enforce more than others. One restaurant asked if I had been in the state of New Mexico for 14 days, which I hadn’t- I could have lied I guess but they really appreciated my honesty but they couldn’t serve me food so it’s okay a few fast food trips won’t kill me (hopefully).&nbsp;Be an honest person. Take advantage of things you can do, but don’t push it. You don’t want to be the person that ruins things for everyone!<br /><br /></div> <div dir="auto">•I brought my negative covid test results with me, but surprisingly noone asked me for it (they probably should have, but I dont make the rules! lol)<br /><br /></div> <div dir="auto">•You really don’t come into direct contact with anyone (stay 6 feet away with your mask on!) I love it! I hate being close to random people 6 feet away is great for me and the mask keeps my nose warm and stops spreading germs- it’s literally fine! Traveling is so easy because everything is cheap, airports are DEAD (the longest TSA line I waited in was 7 minutes!) and getting around is quick- way less traffic!<br /><br /></div> <div dir="auto">•Just imagine everyone everywhere has covid!</div> <div dir="auto">You’ll have no problem wearing your mask and sanitizing as required! I’m pretty sure there are more people in my local supermarket walking around with covid than people on my flight who are atleast screened for a fever/sickness etc!<br /><br /></div> <div dir="auto">•I was nervous to travel at first and yes a lot of things are closed, but there are so many outdoor things to take advantage off and how much of life can I miss out on? Lol I probably won’t be traveling internationally for a while, but I think you can safely travel and have some outdoor adventures if you follow the rules</div> <div dir="auto"></div> <div dir="auto">Stay safe and healthy people!!</div> https://ricovidarchive.org/files/original/8df8bc0dda2cba8180825dd041ee5210.jpg 7bd706ecdabda1221d0665b757d03ef2 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title What would you title this item? Charlie &amp; Me Description What is it all about? <span>My experience with the pandemic would be being stressed out and isolated from friends and family. The masks has made it hard for me to communicate with others by not hearing well and maintaining my mask on all the time while being around others. Distance Learning has brought stress due to assignments being due at the end of the week. It is very hard for me to stay focused with so much assignments being assigned and on top of that maintain good grades. Being isolated from others has brought sadness from not seeing them or missing to hug them. But thankfully my family has been supportive during these challenging times. For instance, my cousin and her puppy Charlie have brought happiness into my life.</span> Creator Who created this item?

College Visions empowers low-income and first-generation college-bound students to realize the promise of higher education by providing advising and resources to promote college enrollment, persistence, and graduation. College Visions advances equal access to educational opportunities in historically under-served communities. As we all know, there have been many new challenges that none of us could have prepared for - challenges that we are still working through today. The biggest monster has been the global pandemic. At College Visions, we work with the populations most impacted by COVID-19. As we continue to support low-income, first-generation students through their college applications and through college completion, we have seen that our work this year will involve more than academic support. We are seeing our students and their families lose their jobs and not know how they would afford rent the next month. We are seeing our students have panic attacks due to fear of the virus. We are hearing the fear in students' voices, from being essential workers and processing deaths. We are hearing the stress in students' voices as they balanced online learning, supporting their younger siblings, and finding ways to support their families financially. For low-income students and their families, stressors have increased in multiple areas; they can best tell you about their experiences: “COVID made it very hard to focus on my studies. Classes are allotted an hour, but you’re also teaching yourself the content, while taking the time to do the homework, so it’s like two hours of studying for one class. Factoring in course load of the fall semester, which is like 3-4 classes, you’re talking about 8 hours of classwork on top of Zoom classes. It’s pretty stressful because then I also have to accommodate my schedule to my brother’s schedule, who is special needs, because he’s also doing online learning. There were times where we’re both in Zoom class, his teacher says something that he doesn’t understand, so I have to step away from my own class to them help him. It’s not something that I’m upset about, but it is an issue that I then have to accommodate for by studying an extra 30-45 minutes.” – Ariel T., RIC ‘22 “I work at Bradley Hospital in the Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities Unit (CADD) in residential. Things have changed for me during the pandemic because I have had to work extra shifts, and homeschool our residents. I have also been more exposed since the pandemic began because as other staff have gotten sick from COVID-19, I’ve had to cover shifts at other houses. They have been in crisis because they miss seeing their parents and some residents do not understand why they can’t see their families. It’s very difficult to risk our own health and our own family’s health by going to work at COVID-19 exposed programs.” – Maria L., RIC 21 Despite all that, we see the persistence and resilience in our students. It is clear that no matter what life throws at them, they are here to fight for the wellbeing of their families, fight for their right to higher education, and fight for a more sustainable future for themselves and generations after them. As students carry all of this on their shoulders, CV exists to make things a little easier for them. With the support of their community, CV students navigate challenges and kept working toward educational goals. 97% of the 12th graders CV worked with during 2020 enrolled in college compared with only 54% of 12th graders in urban RI. CV’s 6-year graduation rate rose to 68%, significantly higher than the 37% of low-income students in RI who earn a degree within 6 years. And, with continued community support and College Visions’ guidance, CV students will be ready and prepared for any obstacles they may face on their path to degree attainment.

Jenny Sanchez Description What is it all about? Title: Abue! Play Production <br /><br />Achieving the 'American dream' has always been a priority for the Rodriguez family. Through vignettes of events we meet Fernando, an adventurous businessman and Marta, the backbone of Fernando’s success. <br /><br />But the more successful the business is growing, the more it would affect their relationship. Tired of being mistreated, Marta decides to take action. Little does she know what will come next for Fernando, not even tequila can cure the mind. Only Marta, better known as ‘abue’ can continue the legacy of the tortilleria and bring out the true meaning of family. <br /><br />Production Concept: <br /><br />Originally, the play was supposed to be performed in Central Falls, Rhode Island this year but due to Covid-19, our staged production is going virtual for the health and safety of the cast and audience. My intention is to produce the play to provide space, opportunity and community for Latinx performers. That mission will continue now virtually! From our very homes to yours!
