In March 2020, I was a teacher in an afterschool program. Suddenly, we got word from our boss we were shutting down....I didn't even get to say good-bye, and hug, the children I care for everyday. I missed them so much, had dreams about them. A year and a half later, my boss started the after school program back up, without telling me. He had all the staff back, except me. He used covid as a way of firing me, when I did nothing wrong. I still cry for those children, I cared for, everyday.
