This summer is unlike any summer we’ve ever had. This summer will be the first time we’ve seen loved ones in over a year. This will be the first time we peruse the shops and streets after the isolation of a pandemic. This is our chance to be grateful again for things we all took for granted. Things like hugging and kissing our grandparents and having birthday celebrations. As we rejoice and gather together again, we should also continue to do the work, and grow intellectually.
