End of Year Reflection by Lizzy

This year was an interesting one. So many twists and turns that did not go the way I expected. I think I grew a lot over the course of the year and got to have some fun learning new things. Although I might not have gone anywhere very exciting, staying at home has been an adventure in itself.

I think the overall trait I showed this year is perseverance. With everything that has been going on, I do not think I have been doing as well in school at home as I would in the classroom. I have had a hard time staying focused and getting my work done, but the one thing I can do is persevere. I just need to keep working on whatever it is, and I know I will eventually get it done.

I think I boosted my well-being this year by staying positive. Plus doing the things I love. I spent most of my time this year drawing and hanging out with my friends. Those are things that make me happy/boost my well-being.

One of my goals for every year is to be kind to those around me. It might not always be easy, but I have tried my best. This year I think it was especially hard because we have been stuck in the house every day. Sometimes it is hard not to get frustrated, but you just have to realize that it is usually something really small. I have learned this year that you have to accept that somethings will not always go your way and to always trust in those around me.

This year has been an exciting one. I have had so much fun with my friends and family, but I think that this has been one of the craziest years of my life. Even though times might be hard, I need to count myself lucky that I am still learning new things every day and both of my parents are working. This year may have been hard, but we need to look at the good side of things. The school year is ending, summer is starting, and I will have a lot of free time on my hands.
