This year has been quite a tumultuous year with natural disasters affecting a lot of people from arctic temperatures to fires to earthquakes; Hollywood scandals (most notably the college admissions scandal); more than 360 shootings throughout the United States that have simply devastated so many people’s lives (when will it end?!); the unnecessary ICE raids that ripped families apart – to name just a few unsettled current events.
But there have also been some amazing events take place this year like watching 13-year-old figure skater Alysia Liu win the 2019 National Championship; watching the amazing athleticism of UCLA gymnast Katelyn Ohashi; the US Women’s Soccer team winning the 2019 World Cup and the birth of the royal baby: Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. How about the unprecedented winners of Miss America, Miss Teen USA, Miss USA and Miss Universe all being women of color? And, while time will tell if anything will come from it, quite a lot of people have been glued to their seats for the impeachment hearings.
What is to follow, starting tomorrow with the hits and misses on television, will be my look at what took place this year – good, bad or otherwise.
NOTE: I apologize in advance for any omissions, spelling errors or oversights I may have made, but I don’t apologize for any of the choices I made.
