My experience: It’s been rough not being able to go to school and see my friends, but being able to talk online and doing voice calls is a good way to connect while staying safe.  I worked at the movie theater in Atascadero and I was going to get promoted when I graduated, but with the theater being closed I’m missing out on that promotion.  That’s a bummer not be able to work and see people I work with, but it’s for the best to keep people safe.

 

How I reacted in thought and action: We need to settle down, be careful; accepting the news and adjusting accordingly

 

One difficult thing was: Missing prom, Grad Night, and Formal Graduation

 

Something that stood out during this experience: The lack of structure in terms of waking up and doing what I’m supposed to do throughout the day.  Without that structure I have a different sleep schedule and I eat at different times.  I guess this is the new normal.

 

I care about:  What’s best for society and that’s more important than my personal wants and needs right now.

 

My take-away: Get through day by day

 

Final Thoughts:  There’s completion with graduation and the start of the next chapter of my life.  Moving from one structure of education to a new work focused structure.

 

Lori’s Summary:  Isaiah struck me as caring, proactive and grounded.  He spoke with a high level of commitment to keeping everyone safe and working with the situation without too much need to make it other than what it is.
