If I went to tell my past self that I would not be able to leave and see my friends every day at school or at dance, I would not believe myself. Coronavirus did not seem like a problem in the beginning. The first thing the pandemic impacted in my life was my school trip to Italy during April break. Everyone was confused as to why we had to reschedule the thousands of dollar trip that had been planned for over a year. A few weeks later the horrors of COVID-19 became much more apparent. Before we knew it, the virus blew up in the United States. Questions and rumors that school would be cancelled for a week started to arise. People either didn’t seem to think that the virus was a big deal. Then hand sanitizer waas everywhere, washing your hands more than normal causing your hands to become so dry. March 13, 2020, just what was supposed to be a normal Friday. Quizzes and tests scheduled for the following week, talks of prom and events being planned. That morning I had a friend tell me that there was supposed to be no school the next week, that would count as spring break. How dare the state take away spring break that tons of people had vacations planned for? Sitting in English class, what I didn’t know would be my last in school class for my junior year, the class is all excited like what is happening will be fun and a vacation. What was supposed to last one week of no school went to two weeks of online school to the end of April to the rest of the academic year. The new normal of logging onto class on your computer, classmates now being your siblings. Luckily in my house there are lots of activities to keep my family occupied, for the most part. Though the coronavirus has hurt so many globally and is such a negative part of our new life, my family has been able to grow closer. Being quarantined and having our annual Saturday game nights, lots of cooking and baking and outdoor sport activities. My family is lucky and I know that not everyone has such opportunities, and being home is unsafe. This pandemic is something that will never be forgotten. Taking thousands of lives away each day, impacting each citizen around the world in a different way. Location Where was this item created? Westerly Language What language is it in?

Location Where was this item created? Providence, RI Language What language is it in? English Description What is it about? Before Covid19 we had at least one grandson every day after school pick up. They would stay, we would do homework, play and eat supper. We would drive them home after wash up, bath or shower ( depending on child and night). We call it “stay late night”. We miss it soo much. We now walk to one of their houses and stand outside on the lawn, their mom opens the window and we talk. We drive to our daughter’s house and we sit on the lawn there and the 3 boys sit in the open window. In both cases we all hug ourselves and send them as 6 ft. hugs to each other. I am 73 and my husband is 77 and since the dads are out “in public” we haven’t been closer than 6 ft. Our older son , who is single, comes on Sunday and sits at a table on the porch. We put snacks out and we sit at the open window and we enjoy each other’s company. I actually started writing this at the beginning of the month but added or changed it as I watched the Governor’s press conferences on tv.

My name is Alan Roseman. I have been an active photographer for more than 50 years. Street photography is my first love and the Covid pandemic called me to the near deserted streets of Providence, East Providence, Pawtucket and Central Falls. Each excursion was painstaking for safety reasons as my age and health placed me in a high risk category. I felt the pandemic changed everything, my thoughts on the display of my work included. While it was never my goal, many of the images in the ongoing "Covid Days" album have won awards on the street photography sites internationally.

Jenny Sanchez Description What is it all about? Title: Abue! Play Production 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. 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. Production Concept: 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! This recording is a private screening with the cast.
