How covid-19 affected my life....

Never take things for granted..

By Kiayana K. from Zuni High School in New Mexico

“How has Covid-19 changed your life?”

“Covid has affected everyone in the world, but personally I lost a family member to Covid. I lost my grandfather to Covid which was a really hard thing to accept. One thing I miss about my grandpa was going over to his house when our football teams, were playing against each other, he would get mad when his team was losing. So it was a moment to realize and cherish the people you love before it’s too late.”
