Leticia Campos is starting a new chapter.
After years of working in health insurance, the 35-year-old single mother recently went back to school to study to become an occupational therapist, enrolling at Austin Community College.
For the past year, her weekdays have been occupied by online classes, coursework and raising her 4-year-old son. On weekends, she works full days at a local waxing salon to help make ends meet.
On a recent Sunday toward the end of her shift, Campos described the early days of the pandemic, when the salon closed for two months and she was out of work and without child care options for her son.

Before the pandemic, throngs of people in the Bay Area would gather to commemorate the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, a Roman Catholic holiday with Mexican indigenous roots.
The feast, observed on Dec. 12, typically draws thousands of faithful each year to parishes such as St. Elizabeth’s in Oakland, in celebrations that last day and night with banda and mariachi music, and lots of food.
But with COVID-19 cases surging, the festivities this weekend will be markedly different. If anyone has COVID-19, stay home. We have to take care of each other so we can care for others.
