During the COVID lockdowns in 2020, while my spirit sank as COVID numbers rose, I looked to the future for hope.
And though the pandemic is far from over, 2021 has been a pretty great year. Some of my favorite memories include performing in the musical “Annie,” getting an adorable Australian labradoodle puppy named Goldie, getting vaccinated, traveling to Boston and Cape Cod in the summer, returning to my sleep-away camp and middle school in person, winning Revere’s t-shirt design contest and the Palisades Library’s writing contest (for my age group), dancing on my school’s dance team and at DC Dance, and finding out I got my dream role in Theatre Palisades Youth’s next musical “Singin’ in the Rain.”
I can’t wait to celebrate the New Year in Florida with my cousins, grandparents, and other relatives, and I look forward to a bright and memorable 2021.
