The year 2021 has come to an end. It was full of obstacles that shaped us to be stronger. One of these challenges we faced is the current COVID-19 pandemic. This pandemic has pushed me to my limit as a student because of the changes we students must make to continue our studies in the middle of the pandemic. I am hopeful that we will finally be able to overcome the pandemic this year, allowing our lives to return to normal. I'm hoping that by 2022, we'll have recovered from this pandemic.


        We've all been through a lot, yet here we are, enjoying the end of the year 2021. This year was loaded with challenges, primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Those who survived the year are extremely fortunate, since several did not due to this deadly pandemic. Students like me had several problems with our learning because we had to adjust to what was described as the "new normal." I hope that the end of 2021 symbolizes a new beginning, and that we start the year with a new beginning. I'm hoping that this year will be a year of healing. We've all been waiting for this moment, and now we can get our lives back to normal. And I hope we learned our lesson, and that by the end of this year, our lives will be back to normal, exactly like they were before the pandemic. Let us start our new beginning with a goal that will make our lives better.


        We went through a lot this year, yet the hardships turned us into better individuals. And with the challenges we faced as a result of the pandemic, I hope we can learn from them in order to end the pandemic and return to our normal lives. I hope that the end of 2021 marks a new beginning as the year 2022 becomes a year of healing.
