Dear Canadians, Some things I am grateful for are my pets, my family, my friends. I am thankful & grateful for these things because my pets make me feel comfortable and like I belong, because I get stressed easily and I get worried easily. So, they make me feel calm and happy. I have a dog from the S.P.C.A, he was a rescue, but they think he is a lab, retriever, mastiff mix and his name is Jax. My cat, Bomber (Charlie is his middle name), is a barn cat bread on a big farm (our friends have lots of cats but they just feed them and give them water so they don’t intentionally try to breed them) and he is a tuxedo cat. I also had 5 fish all together, there are tetra, Bubbles and Finn. There are 3 algae eaters who clean the tank for me so I don’t have to clean it so often. The cleaner’s names are Jeffery, JJ and JJJunior. JJJunior died about a month after I got him because he was the runt of the family, so he had heart failure. Bubbles died about 2 weeks ago because I’ve had him for about a year and a bit. So he was just really old. I still have Finn, JJ, and Jeffery. I am Thankful for my family because they support me and I do a lot of fun things with them like waterslides with friends and family, road trips, trips to Disneyland/California, trips to see family living far away, etc... I am so thankful for all these things because of all these reasons. Thanks for reading! Sincerely, ..Unknown Summerland Middle School Student..

Something I am grateful for are my computer and internet. Before I got my computer I couldn’t talk to my friends because of covid and having to quarantine and school being closed. When I got my computer, I could talk to my friends through Discord. I even got to meet some new people through Discord. I remember from the start of covid that I didn’t think it would last that long but now two years later and it's still going. While we have a vaccine and things are looking better than they did a while ago and that is nice to know. I'm lucky to have a computer but covid still sucks. Summerland student,

Dear Canadians, I know this past year has been tough for a lot of us but the good thing is there is now a vaccine so we can do what we did before Covid so that’s good. Some things I’m grateful for are my family and friends and that we all have a sense of safety now that the vaccine is out. I’m also grateful that I can see some of my family that I don’t normally get to see for Christmas this year like my older brother that I haven’t seen in a long time. Hopefully it gets better Sincerely Jaxson Summerland, BC

This past year I know covid19 has been bad.But we can stop covid19 for good.Alot of Canadians have suffered covid19.they had to take quarantine and stay isolated for 2 weeks or more. that's way we have doctors all around the world giving vaccines to everyone. some doctors don't even take vaccines.so they have to stay home for a long time until they do. When the pandemic is over everyone will have a great time. But we will still have to wear masks to keep everyone safe in the world. In the future i am going to tell my kids what happened all those years ago and how we stopped covid19 and everyone that helped us.
