For our first human of Barrington this week, we have senior Ava Seberg talking about how quarantine affected her job at a local animal hospital. Read more to find out how Seberg navigated the ups and downs of COVID life.“So one of the biggest things that impacted my quarantine experience was the fact that I worked throughout all of it even at the start of COVID. At that point it was scary especially with my job at a local animal hospital. It was a very weird experience, because even now we are unable to let clients into the animal hospital because it is such a small facility. It was very new to everyone then and even now as we are more accustomed to it, it’s still a little strange. Now looking back working through COVID I have been able to clearly see how it affects people both inside and outside the workplace. I am very thankful that I have been able to work throughout quarantine as it has given me a new perspective and insight. As well as something to do during these times. On a positive note because of COVID I have been able to learn a lot of new things at my job because there is always something to do. I have been able to work up at the front desk answering calls because most things are over the phone. I have also been able to help do vet tech things and learn things about being an animal nurse. I also have been given the time to pursue more of my art, I am working on sticker designs as well as custom clothes which has been really fun. Even though it has been stressful, I wouldn’t trade it for anything else.” Ava Seberg, senior. Interviewed by Grace Gregoire.
