** LightHouse Staffer Jaclyne Atoigue on a Year of Change

March 16 marked the one-year anniversary of most LightHouse staff working from home due to the pandemic. For many it has been the most challenging year of their lives, in many ways.

We share thoughts from LightHouse Administrative Assistant Jaclyne Atoigue who has low vision:

"I have been working from home most of the year, thankfully, especially since my four children have been distance learning. My children are aged 13, 12, 10 and 6. I am so happy to see progress towards reopening the LightHouse, the creation of the BIDE (Belonging, Inclusion, Diversity and Equity) task force and the general efforts by management to keep staff safe, equipped, and supported. However, this last year while professionally wonderful, has been personally difficult. So I offer this poem that I wrote to express the grief I have felt from the loss of my grandfather and my brother, but also the loss of innocence that my children have experienced as they witnessed the world change over the past year."

In future issues, we will share thoughts from other staff members and students on living through the pandemic.
