That is all the virus is supposed to live for, but the inability to stop our fast pace capitalist society from going keeps the COVID-19 going. Small businesses hurting, stock market crashing, unemployment rate increasing, people social-distancing, colleges closing. Not just the nation, but the world is having to learn new ways to live their day to day lives. The digital age has taken a whole new level of meaning. Every person is affected by the coronavirus in different ways. Rising Rock, a group of students from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, seek to tell their stories on how this pandemic shapes their experience, and what this extraordinary moment in history looks like from their perspectives.

She is a fifth-grade Montessori teacher and her students are learning multiplication and division.<\/p>\n<p>As I listen, I come to the realization that my Mom has to be the most patient person in the world. She treats each question with the same care and respect as the next, even when they seem a little silly. Teaching is what she was meant to do and it&#8217;s easy to tell this is her passion, no matter what\u2019s happening there\u2019s a kind smile on her face and a heart that is radiating love.<\/p>\n<p>When the day comes to an end she assigns a few small pieces of homework and, before signing off, tells each of her students that she loves them and is proud of them.<\/p>\n<p>This morning I sit in the next room over as she decides to play a little joke on her kids. As they start logging in one by one, all they can see is an empty chair and a whiteboard that says \u201cSchool closed due to sunshine.\u201d She stands to the side quietly giggling at all their different comments. She finally steps into frame and, with a puzzled face, asks them \u201cWhat are you all doing? Didn\u2019t you hear school is out?\u201d They all burst out in laughter and give her a hard time. Of course, this was an April Fools\u2019 joke.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_31168\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-attachment-id=\"31168\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2020\/04\/covid-19-repetition-and-isolation\/richter3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/04\/Richter3.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"900,600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Richter3\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/04\/Richter3.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-31168 \" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/04\/Richter3.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"style=\"max-width: 100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/04\/Richter3.jpg 900w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/04\/Richter3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/04\/Richter3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/04\/Richter3-580x387.jpg 580w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/04\/Richter3-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/04\/Richter3-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/04\/Richter3-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maria Hunter, an elementary school teacher, writes a math problem on a whiteboard for her online class. (Photo by Elian Richter)<\/p><\/div>\n<h4><strong>Sunday, March 22, 2020<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>With school and work both on hold, the days have begun to feel slightly longer than normal. I\u2019m quickly realizing that the next few weeks might be more difficult than I initially expected and, as each day passes, it brings with it news of how conditions are worsening and restrictions are growing, ultimately meaning that this might be the new norm for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n<p>When I first learned that classes were switching to an online platform, I was excited. I thought things would be a breeze and, at worst, I would have something to do while sitting at home. Unfortunately, I\u2019ve found the opposite to be true. There\u2019s a strange sense of anxiety that comes with seeing my entire class face to face while they stare back at me from a computer screen, even if their attention really isn\u2019t on me.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of classes, my routine is described best by the word \u201crepetition.\u201d I wake up, surf the Web, listen to music, play guitar, take a nap and repeat until the day is over. When the weather permits, a short walk through town or a hike at Stringer\u2019s Ridge help to break the monotony, but so far it has rained almost every day. Why wouldn\u2019t it, though? Overcast days give a great sense of doom and gloom, which seem to fit the occasion perfectly.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Thursday, April 9, 2020<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>As the days blur together and the heavy weight of isolation builds, it\u2019s easy to dwell on the negative emotions brought out by the current situation: boredom, loneliness, depression. These emotions are certainly overwhelming at times but there\u2019s also a brighter side to this too.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve recently realized that the pandemic has also brought at least one positive outcome during this strange time; the opportunity to spend time with one of my favorite people in the world, my little sister Waverly.<\/p>\n<p>I always feel like I\u2019m missing so many key moments in my sister\u2019s life and because of that I often feel conflicted about living so far from her. Every time I get to see her it seems that she\u2019s grown another foot and has matured exponentially since my last visit. This has been the longest I\u2019ve been home in over four years and being able to spend this time with my family has meant more than I can put into words.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" data-attachment-id=\"31170\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2020\/04\/covid-19-repetition-and-isolation\/richter\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/04\/Richter.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"600,600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Richter\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/04\/Richter.jpg\" class=\"alignright wp-image-31170\" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/04\/Richter.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"style=\"max-width: 100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/04\/Richter.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/04\/Richter-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/04\/Richter-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/04\/Richter-580x580.jpg 580w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/04\/Richter-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/04\/Richter-400x400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>Elian Richter is a student at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga studying communication with a focus in photojournalism.
