18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Unmasked

This young lady is a rural WV high school teacher. She lost her mother to cancer recently and has inherited that gene and has other underlying conditions that make teaching in a school that doesn't believe in masking and other precautions very unsafe for her. She is a dedicated teacher but is worried as cases in our area rise. She feels only half masked as long as people around her aren't masked.
