Title
Security Guard during Pandemic
Description
My name is Jesse Finlayson-Finlay-Sellman, at the time of posting this I am currently 20 years old. I grew up in St. Catharines Ontario all my life until I was 16 and moved to Thorold Ontario. I work as a security guard and let me tell you.. a lot has changed from March to August already.. Let's go back to March 8th 2020, I was with my family and my girlfriend having a good birthday weekend at Great Wolf Lodge, the Monday (March 9th) was my birthday, it was all good and the world was still a very happy place... until Friday, March the 13th, it's where it all went down hill from there. The way we all have to wear masks, talk to others through Plexiglas, or not even be able to visit family or friends has been a huge change. Because of this pandemic, everyone got a lot more upset, or angry and sometimes violent while at my work. It has been stressful day in and day out having to work everyday during these hard times because of the way people view Security Guards. I have been spit on, screamed at, had things thrown at me and my partners while trying to maintain a positive attitude. I am proud to do the things that I do, and I hope one day we can all be happy once again and live life to the fullest. I also hope people have been keeping their heads up and know that we will all get through this mess one day! May everyone who has lost family or friends due to Covid-19 Rest in Peace.
