5,4,3,2,1 HAPPY NEW YEARSSS!! Everything seemed in place to make 2020 my best year since my New Year's resolutions could finally come true as the time was just right and my mindset was determined. For a few months, things are going awesome. Word was spreading that a virus was attacking China “ nothing to worry about they'll fix things” “ it's probably just like the flu” what words that we threw around when bam march comes around school cancels. The two weeks the school said that we were going to be put quickly turned into 5,6,7,8, A whole year?? Nothing less it was a big letdown as the rest of the year seemed to be ruined. After a few days of reflecting I got myself together and decided that a virus wasn't going stop me from achieving my goals, “where there's a will there's a way” said my mother and she was right!! The determination got back into my head and I found safe ways to do the things on my resolutions list while taking precautions and thinking of others. My message is that don't stop working towards your goals where there motivation and determination nothing is impossible.
