Learning Through a Pandemic

---

Adjusting to a different and new way of learning has been my norm for this past spring, summer, and some of this fall semester. Thankfully, all of my social work classes are held fully in person this semester, yet I am juggling a hybrid model for my capstone psychology and McNair course. As you can see, I have my personal assistant by my side for emotional and professional support.

My schedule also consists of various Zoom meetings throughout the week, as I juggle a virtual-based family assessment internship and receive research mentoring through my computer screen. Staying in touch with my support networks enables me to maintain confidence in my academic abilities, as I navigate my way of applying to graduate programs in the midst of a pandemic.

Simply, I am most happy to just be back in the classroom. My Social Work and McNair cohort inspires me to continue learning and working my way towards graduate school. This is my last semester of taking actual classes in my undergrad, since I will be completing my full-time Social Work internship in the spring, and I am dedicated to make the most out of this experience, as strange as it may be.

Me with (half) of my McNair cohort!
