MEMPHIS, Tenn. The pandemic halted in-person learning, canceled summer camps and caused virtual interactions to become the norm.
A Collierville girl is sharing what her experience during the pandemic was like and was recently featured in TIME magazine and TIME for Kids.
“Unimaginable, unfathomable, unthinkable,” that’s how 12-year-old Shanaya Pokharna captured her COVID-19 experience. Her mother was the first in her family to get sick with the coronavirus.
“She was like in bad shape at the time,” the Lausanne student. “We were all scared because we didn’t really know. The pandemic had just started right so we didn’t really know how everything was going to be.”
