Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful as well as beautiful

BY SABRINA S. – 12 YEARS OLD

This year is pretty different and a bit challenging. This is not only for me but for each and every one of us. This year brought sorrows and challenges.

People lost their jobs; some lost their lives. Some went through depression. In fact, this year changed almost each and every human life. “The key is this: meet today’s problems with today’s strength. Don’t start tackling tomorrow’s strength yet. You simply have enough for today.”

We students also experienced a few new things. We were introduced to online learning. I don’t say it was not good. It was definitely interesting and exciting. but we kids missed our classmates, teachers and our school.

We don’t grow when things are easy, we grow when we face challenges. Students are excited for our new school year. But this is a big challenge for everyone, parents, students, teachers, and the government. A completely new system is going to be there.

I’m going to do school online and I have a few questions. How are we going to get graded in gym? How are these changes going to improve our health? Will this year be harder than the rest? Is the government right to send kids to school? Either way I’m excited for this school year as well as nervous.

“Life is about accepting the challenges along the way, choosing to keep moving forward, and savoring the journey.”
