2020 by Gabby Ellrott

This was supposed to be the year. Everyone had hopes that 2020 was going to be the best year yet but look at how that turned out. Every single month there seems to be a new problem. First a pandemic, murder hornets, now a whole revolution. So what's in store for June or the rest of the year?

There's now word of 'zombie' fires which are underground fires that are starting in the arctic. I have no idea what kind of effect this is going to have on the earth but it won't be a positive one.

Touching more on the George Floyd and the riots that are breaking out, it's a whole revolution, and I believe it needs to happen. In the past, outbreaks such as what is going on now have brought change to very problematic situations like these, and it's what needs to happen. I'm not saying I think the riots are great and destroying property is the best thing to do, but people tried peacefully protesting it it didn't work. So they moved onto the next thing. 

This is the time when we're going to see how powerful we can all be if we stand together. Racism and situations like these shouldn't be happening anymore and everyone needs to realize that we're more similar than we think we are. We are all human beings. The black lives matter movement is critical and I'm glad it's finally getting a shining spotlight now. 

I don't know what movie we're living in, but everyday it keeps getting crazier. Hopefully change is heading our way.
