Chestermere teen’s future in doubt with long COVID: ‘We don’t really know’
‘Heartbreaking’: How long COVID is impacting children Having to stop playing sports at the start of senior high was “really upsetting”.“Sports were my life.
They really helped me in school, too. They helped me de-stress, think about other things and just bring me a lot of joy — especially team sports.”And the trajectory of her academic career has changed markedly for her.“I’ve never had such a hard time with school.
I’m putting in more hours than even I did in the last couple of years,” Charlise said. “It’s just been really frustrating because I like to excel in my academics.”Before catching COVID-19 in April 2021, the Grade 10 student expected to continue excelling in the classroom and sports, graduate from high school and continue on into university.
That future is now unknown.“Right now, we don’t really know,” Charlise said. “I don’t know if next year I’m going to have to take spares to nap and whatnot.
