So I feel like a lot of people were of like the same mindset, you know, like go to college, do what you need to do, you know, go home, go back to your family. So I really liked that. St John's, like I said, it was a private school, so I feel like a lot of the students there, maybe their parents were paying for them to go there. They had more of like a party kinda attitude. So it was a little different in that sense. A little less diversity, in St. John. Still, still diverse, but not as much as Queens College, I would say. Yeah.

So at that time—the reason I didn't go to Queens College's speech program was because it wasn't very flexible. Like everyone had to start the same time, finish the same time you couldn't choose your classes. It was like blocked classes. So I appreciated that St. John's allowed you to choose your schedule since I was working full time. I couldn't take classes during the day so that I appreciated.

Queens College, I feel like because it's a commuter college and because it's a public school, it was, I think a little better, like getting textbooks. Like the professors were mindful of that.

I, I should say in the sense that you need to always be prepared to go remote. So right now we're in per—well we're on vacation right now, obviously, but prior to this, we're, we were in person, you know? But of course during 2020, when a lot of things shut down, we were mostly virtual. And then, by the end of the year, we were able to go in the building and like service some of the kids in the school where—but still some kids chose to stay virtual. But in the beginning of this school year, there was no longer the option to have a virtual education. So all the students had to either come in person to the school or just be homeschooled, you know? So we've been doing that from the begin—from the beginning of the year. And we have like weekly COVID checks and if the students or faculty, are positive for COVID, they have to stay home. And if, I think, I think if two or three people in a class were positive for COVID, then their whole class needs to become remote. So before the holiday break, I think like four or five classes in the building were remote and I'm suspecting that—because of the holiday break, you know, a lot of people seeing each other and families going abroad or like traveling—I feel like the COVID cases would've increased. So we don't know what's gonna happen when we come back, we might have to be completely remote again or do something like hybrid, like some people in the school, some not. So like, like I said, there's not like, constancy. You have to be ready for change regard, like at the drop of a dime.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/21/collection_resources/69763/file/154368#t=1166.0,1284.0"},{"id":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/21/collection_resources/69763/file/154368/transcript/35866/annotation/80","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Kareen Pierre-Louis: Wow.
