A lost year...

 I would agree that this year presented us with new challenges and at times it felt very defeating. Along with these new struggles though I was able to learn more about myself and develop in areas that I had not originally had time or an interest in. My school work continued to push me and I was still able to learn. Do to the new flexibility in scheduling and with a summer spent mostly at home, I became interest in running and finally had the time to read. Within just the first few months, I read around 5 books, which might not seem like a lot to an avid reader. I used to love reading and slowly just have lost the spark and time. This time re-kindled my love for reading and learning knew things from the books that I chose. I have been able to continue my passion for reading and running even when the restrictions have begun to decrease and school has begun to return to normal. The only truly thing that has changed this past year is my perspective. Re-focusing on the things that brought me joy, has been able to bring balance to more balance to my life. I hope to continue with all my hobbies and the balance that I have found in my life.
