This past year has been one of the most chaotic and craziest years of my life. Not only was there a global pandemic that killed millions of people, I’ve also faced a lot of personal struggles too. This year for school, we had a virtual format where we learned from our homes, but it was one of the most stressful things I have experienced. I felt like I was drowning in homework, and juggling a part time job and sports with homework definitely took a toll on my physical and mental health. During the beginning of 2021, I began to lose weight and had an episode of hair loss, but thankfully I am beginning to feel a lot better after some time. 

I hope that in the future I can work on becoming a better person towards everyone. I wish to become the person that people can rely on for everything. Also, I want to work on becoming better to myself as well. I want to learn how to take better care of myself, including when I need to take breaks for myself. I found that I had a hard time finding a line between working hard and overworking myself. I also want to become a more charitable person so I’m hoping to donate to nonprofit organizations this summer.
