During the Covid 19 pandemic, I lived and worked in the Greater Manchester Region of New Hampshire.

At the start of the pandemic, my days were spent when not at work, at home. Something I learned about myself during the Covid 19 pandemic is I don’t like being isolated. I would like future generations of New Hampshire to know that it was a very trying time, where families couldn’t gather for important events or even to just get a hug. People were suspicious of each other and terrified to get sick.
