This may not be that big of an issue in the grand scheme of all that's going on with the world, but for some people, social change can start with small issues and extend into bigger ones.

There are people in the world who will tell you that the resilience with which this youngster faces her problem can't be reapplied to a bigger problem like the one we're facing right now in the form of the COVID-19 crisis. There are also people, such as myself, who will tell you that you can.
