2016. What a year! While it was unfortunately a very dramatic, terrifying, and sad year for the world in politics, violence and global issues, I myself had a fantastic year. It was packed with many ups rather than downs.
I learned, changed and experienced a lot...
Above is my video summing up 2016 on my YouTube channel - it is also my new channel trailer. I've been wanting to make one for ages, and I have finally put one together. Make sure to watch it!
Here are 2016's highlights...

- I played Patty Simcox in my school musical "Grease", which was so much fun!

- I took part in a computer science course for a week.
- I took part in my first Model United Nations competition.
- I did work experience in a primary school.

2017.
There are plans and I have hopes and dreams for this year to come, yet I hope to just learn to live in the moment.
No major resolutions (other than to try and get more fit because that's a life goal).

What a great post! I agree - 2016 was very difficult in terms of social issues, politics, etc. But personally? It was pretty darn good. I think it is amazing that you were able to accomplish so much in the past year. Go you!
