For me, I have a few highlights this year. First, traveling to Philadelphia, Pa back in March with my family. It was the first place we visited after 18 months of basically staying home, and it was the first time my children ever visited the city. Another highlight is going back to a semi-normal school year and a negative is the fall/winter season has started off mild.

one downside experience during this year is that the world still has the corona virus to deal with. i thought it would be over by 2021 but it still has not ended. one upside experience is that everyone got to go back to in person school like right now.

One upside to 2021 was being able to hang out with my friends over the summer instead of having to stay home all day. One downside is that COVID is still around and we have to wear masks at school all day.

One positive thing about 2021 was that I was able to not only socialize with friends again, but also being able to go out and just enjoy nature and being able to play sports again. One negative thing about 2021 was that COVID is still a relevant thing and we are still required to social distance and take precautions because of this. Because of this many trips and exciting things are being cancelled.

one positive thing about 2021 was that we can play sports again and depending where you play you are allowed to have spectators. One bad thing about 2021 is that everything You wanna do basically requires getting vaccinated so like if you wanna play sports you gotta be vaccinated not gonna lie it's pretty annoying

One positive thing about 2021 is that things are opening, its not so safe! But things are now opening making it easier, like school opened so now it is easier to do school. One bad thing about 2021 is we are still in this virus, and its not getting better, its actually getting worse..we are probably gonna have this virus for another 2 years.

One thing that I think is positive about 2021 is that all the people that I've reconnected myself with either from years before or new people. One thing that I don't really like about 2021 is going back to school. Not because I don't like learning but it just exhausting getting there and back.

One great thing about 2021 is that the Covid-19 vaccine started to be produced more and more, and lots of people are getting vaccinated. Also we are able to travel, AND go back to in person school. 2021 wasn't all good though, people still died from covid, some were very famous, like Chadwick Boseman and Larry King.

One positive experience I had was spending more time with family at home and talking to friends online. One downside to this year was having to go to school online and wearing masks every time I went outside. I couldn't go to the park or ride my park like I used to since I could possibly catch covid before I got my vaccine.

One highlight of this year was our ability to progress even with COVID, we are now back in school, and although we are still wearing masks and have other restrictions, we are once again doing things as they were before this pandemic. A negative of this year was the pandemic itself, being quarantined, and the way society handled the pandemic wasn't really great either, pushing the blame on others and trying to solve issues violently but only making matters worse.

One highlight in 2021 is that we get to be back in school where to me it’s easier to learn because you can ask questions directly to the teachers. You also get to see your friends and you are able to hang out with them at recess. One downside in 2021 is that Covid is still happening. All of us still needs to wear masks which is pretty annoying to me and you can get sick.

In retrospect, one positive experience in 2021 was, ironically, being able to spend time with my grandma that I didn’t see in a while, since she lives in a different country. One negative and positive experience in 2021 was hybrid learning. I’m grateful that I was able to go back into the building, but the schedule that changed every week was confusing.

One highlight of 2021 was to take the SHSAT and get over with it. I'm glad that I don't have to go to tutor now. Another highlight is meeting up with my friends in-person to hang out with them over the summer. One downside is coming back to school to interact with everyone. I don't enjoy social interactions because in my opinion, there are more crazy people out there compared to normal people. I sorta enjoyed staying at home to not see people I didn’t want to see.

The best thing that have happened to me in this still crazy year was finally being able to talk to someone that I admire so he finally knows I exist after 2 years of admiring him and becoming friends with him. However, the whole high school process has definitely stressed me out especially the SHSAT and the intense tutor I had to do to prepare for it (which I’m glad is over, but I’m not that satisfied with my performance).
