I would like to take this time and share with you a new perspective of this pandemic. We all know that it has been a tough year for all of us out there who have lost loved ones, who weren't able to interact with dear friends, who were told to be online for school, and who have not been able to find happiness in times of Covid but allow me to leave you with this one thought, "We are living history!" Soon enough, we'll grow old and be able to tell our grandchildren about how we all survived a global pandemic together. Furthermore, we will be the ones to pass down our experiences from generation to generation. A day will come when this crisis is over so that we can make it known to the world that the pandemic brought good, too, like how technology rapidly developed over such a short period of time or how we all got a better chance to connect with our families during dinner time or even how we began to appreciate the beauty of Mother Earth more and more as the months flew by. We will be the faces of history so let's make it a positive history.

during these hard times, we've all suffered at the hands of the pandemic. whether it's having had to stay home, or witnessing first hand, how bad covid-19 really is. Perhaps one of the worst things that have happened during this pandemic would be the discrimination of Asian people. racism has been a huge problem in society for a long time now, and it seems almost impossible to get rid of it. it only seems so because when someone meets a racist person, they don't speak with them, instead, they ignore them. when you get to know someone, it's hard to hate them. if you get to know someone with prejudice toward another race, culture, etc. even they will learn that those people are just like them. we are all a part of the same species, and we are all family. we should be kind and respectful to others. ignoring the problem only makes it worse. but apart from that, i'd say that my personal problem with the pandemic, would be virtual school. I like school, and i miss learning there, but because of the pandemic, we have been unable to do any of that. virtual learning is not only as engaging as in person learning, but it's even harder to understand concepts and subjects. whereas a classroom was built for that specific environment. peace,

Welp didn't think I would make it this far, 5 years is along time, if all goes to plan you should be in collage by now ...hopefully. I don't really know what else to say, living through a global pandemic is kind of difficult, but hey! if you got through this you can get through anything, good luck.

Happy New Year! We will be much better in 2021!!!

Happy holidays to all! It has been a long and challenging year for all of us. I hope that 2021 brings joy, peace, and a return to more normal times.
