A look back at 2020

This is the year that many of us would want to forget, but ironically, we can’t. We started the year with so much hope, made plans to visit places we never been to, sort out our next career move and some may have had that huge wedding planned.

It all came to a screeching halt when the pandemic swooped in and took the whole world by surprise. We can look on the year as a glass half full or half empty, that is your call. Here at Options, we would like to see the good that came out of it such as the quiet and important role healthcare workers played, how much we relied on foreign workers and delivery guys; the everyday heroes who made sure the poor did not go hungry as they volunteered to pack food; the guys who collected and reconfigured used computers for kids who needed it but could not afford for home-based learning.
