Episode 2: "No laptop and no internet"

All one million of New York City’s students were thrown into online learning when schools closed back in March. But for a lot of us, adapting to Google Meet and trying to stay on a regular schedule while not being able to see friends weren’t the only challenges. I began virtual school without a laptop, or even internet access in my home. In this episode, I share my first-hand experience of what it's like to be a low-income student in a pandemic, and speak about my struggles to receive technological support from the Department of Education in the midst of working to complete my AP classes and get through junior year.
