Taylor Adams, NY
My 2021 was okayish. My grandparents got
ill and I had to put off my summer vacation.
However, I seized the moments to enjoy.
I watched Tokyo summer Olympics and
I was so stoked that the American sportsmen
got 113 medals. I also wanted to go to the
Euro 2020 match and root for Italy. And
I did it! I hope that the next year will be great
and I will have more rest!
Ivan Schmidt, Odesa
I make films about extreme sports: skiing,
parachuting and bungee jumping. I usually
come over to my friends in Italy and Germany
and we work together. But this year things
went south. I had to stay in the Ukraine due to
the restrictions on travelling. I am looking
forward to seeing in the New Year with my
friends. What if I can’t leave? I am so upset.
I haven’t come up with my New Year plan yet.

My 2021 year went swimmingly. I was
staying at my grandparents’ house all
summer and I was pumped to have so much
fun. I went to the animation studios, rode a
roller coaster, visited national parks and
even petted a lion and a giraffe! It’s a pity
that this year has almost gone. I am starting
school next year and I will have no dice to
skip my prep classes till next summer.
