    2020 was a year that will never be forgotten due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related events. The pandemic caused widespread illness and death, economic chaos, and lockdowns with people wearing masks. Another major event was the death of George Floyd which sparked the Black Lives Matter movement and global protests. The year ended with Joe Biden being elected President of the United States. While some had positive memories, like vaccines being developed for COVID-19, 2020 overall was a difficult year marked by a global health crisis and civil unrest.

    After reading:
    How was 2020 for you? For me 2020 was a productive year, of course with its ups
    and downs, I really learned many things, I spent a lot of time with my family, and we
    bonded in an incredible way, I learned many interesting things and I understood that
    the world needs our help, and we must help, and we must help him to have a better
    life in the future.
    What were the highs and lows? The ups and downs were for me not to be able to
    see my other families and friends, to see so many people who were dying from the
    pandemic, that was something so sad to see and know that we were going through
    something so big, it was something that I did not process yet.
