Toni Metcalf-Henry shares: "Life in lockdown has been sweet with my husband Brady Henry and my three cats! I have been working from home for a year with Advocacy and Protective Services, Inc. (APSI), a nonprofit organization that offers guardianship services to over 3,200 individuals with disabilities. The writing and research skills I acquired at Kenyon serve me well at APSI as I prepare a variety of legal documents! My cats love the camera interaction of video calls and have enjoyed laying on my papers while I work from home. I recently started cooking with my sister virtually. She and I will pick a recipe and cook together on our Alexa Echos. My husband and I also started a kitchen remodel. We are excited for the outcome! Wish us luck!"
Caleb Ruopp contributes: “I have become a full time student teacher, currently learning how to teach to English Language Learners, and how to teach during these new and difficult times.

My infant is now a toddler, and my family of four is beyond excited to hopefully get on an airplane sooner than later and visit extended family in places such as Oahu. For now, we're making the most out of life here in MN. Duplo and Lego sets are becoming a household staple.”

Prabhat Gautam shares: “My partner Kevin and I continue to work from home remotely in the physical company of our two cats Cinder and Charcoal. In our spare time, we are working on our vegetable gardens and have started lots of seedlings to plant in the late spring. Looking forward to sharing the veggies with our neighbors here in Waltham, MA like last summer. The dream is to set up a free neighborhood farm stand outside our home. Wish us luck! Here is hoping that the sun and soil continue to bless us.”
