Munazzah Chou, Farnham 20/20 vision is a way of saying a person can see perfectly. The events of this year have certainly allowed me to see some things more clearly. The average person is said to think over 6000 thoughts a day, but through much of 2020, I imagine that many of us may have

Aqeela Shanzay Zaffar, Glasgow 2020 has been a very shocking year for us all. Out of the blue, the Coronavirus pandemic gripped the world, millions of people got infected and sadly thousands passed away.

Danila Jonnud, Hampshire In lockdown many of us had more time on our hands. Certainly, with school holidays, I’ve discovered how much of my day was taken up with homeschooling.

Sarah Ward, London Control. That elusive, enigmatic feeling which helps us to feel secure and confident in the world we build around us.
