When 2021 began, I started to have the feeling things would get better.  Covid vaccines started to get distributed.  I got my first dose on March 15 and my second dose on April 7.  On April 18 and 19, I got to celebrate my little sister’s fourth birthday with a few of her friends.  I also didn’t have to wear a mask at the party.

  On May 14, I got to meet up with one of my friends at a dance for the high school we graduated from.  I was so happy to see her again after over a year.  We had a fun time at the dance.  We met up again on May 25 at a high school graduation for a few other friends.  I also got to go to another friend’s graduation party, and it was a lot of fun.

  On June 1, I went with my mom and my brother to Red Top Mountain in Acworth.  We were there from June 1 to 3.  We walked on a trail.  On June 5, I got to reunite with my friends at a Mellow Mushroom in Roswell.  It was great to catch up with my friends.  On June 11, I had a job interview at Dollar Tree and I got a job as a cashier.  I started working on June 18, and I’ve been earning a lot of money.  June 26 was my 22nd birthday.  I had a birthday party at the swimming pool.  I got to spend time with some of my friends that day, and it was fun!

  On July 14, I met up with a few friends at a swimming pool and it was a lot of fun!  On July 26, I went with my mom and my brother to Oakland, Maine.  We were there from July 26 to 31.  I got to see my grandmother, my cousins, and my uncles.  We did some swimming in the backyard pool, we watched the Tokyolympics, and we went to a minigolf course.

  On December 26, we went to Dallas, Texas.  I got to see my grandmother, my uncle, my cousins, and their lovers.  We stayed at a rental house.  The house had a pool, a hot tub, a game room with a pool table, and a music room.

  I learned that I should wear a mask when I go to a public place, wash my hands often, and social distance from anyone who has not yet been vaccinated.

  In conclusion, 2021 was better than 2020.
