Kate's Summer
The summer of 2020 was filled with uncertainty as more than 20 million people in the U.S. were left unemployed \u2014 including Kate Bustamante\u2019s parents. Bustamante is a 20-year-old student at Santa Ana College in Santa Ana, California. She\u2019s always worked part-time and attended school as long as she can remember. But this summer was different. Overnight, Bustamante dropped out of classes and became her family\u2019s breadwinner. In this personal piece Bustamante, through diary recordings and personal reflections, takes us into her world and what she went through over the summer.
