Saviors of the Bad Year
We are now in 2021, if we look at the world, things are not very good because a new variant of the covid-19 virus has emerged and it is very dangerous. At the same time, the economic conditions of the world and our country are very bad and affect people’s lives badly. I would like 2022 to be a year that brings more positive things because 2021 had to cancel some plans that made me very happy because of their current situation. I have some dreams that will make me very happy if they come true in 2022.
First of all, let me talk about small but very good plans that I can make myself in 2022. To be more successful in my education life and to rise by adding more to myself in MUN. I am already working towards these goals and I hope to achieve them in 2022. But my biggest dream for 2022 is to go to rock and roll concerts. It may seem small, but it is one of the things that will make me the happiest in my life. The concerts I want to go to are not simple bands, but bands that have made themselves known around the world and revived the world of rocknroll in the 70s, 80s and 90s. First, the Queen group is known as the group that introduced rock to the world, and the members of the group are very old, I want to go to their concert before they die. Unfortunately, the soloists and my idol Freddie Mercury passed away. Besides, I want to commemorate him by going to the concert and I want to see the performance of 70-year-old Brian May and Roger Taylor. I’ve been wanting to go to this concert for years. They had concerts in 2021, I bought tickets, but it was canceled due to covid-19. This misfortune made me very sad, I hope I will not have such a misfortune in 2022, the year we will enter. A second concert that will make me very happy in 2022 is a 3-day tour of about 9 rock and metal bands in California. The best tour I’ve ever heard and hopefully witnessed in my life. The groups that will take part in the tour are the groups that shook the world in the 70s, 80s and 90s I mentioned at the beginning. The groups that I most like and excite me the most are: Gunsnroses, Megadeath, Bonjovi, Slipknot, KISS, KORN, I love these groups and it would be great to see them all together. I hope I can go to the concerts I dream of.
If it happens in 2022, it will be perfect. My second biggest dream is to be able to go abroad despite the rising exchange rates. Normally, 20 people would go to school with the FRC team this year, but the USA never gives visas and we cannot go because the departures may be closed due to cozvid-19. I learned about this situation yesterday and I was really depressed. There is one more situation that upsets my morale about going abroad, and Ireland also closes the departures. I can hear you say, what does Ireland have to do with it? My older brother lives and studies in Ireland. And I won’t be able to see my brother because Ireland is closing its doors. Yes, 2021 is a really bad year for me. But for the summer of 2022, I will send an e-mail to a school abroad with my father and I will be able to study there. If I can go, it will make me very happy, I hope I do not encounter any misfortune again. I’m not sure, but I think the school has a trip to England in the summer, if there is no disruption due to covid-19, I can go to that too and it will be great.
If my dreams and plans go well, 2022 will be a wonderful year for me and my misfortunes in 2021 will at least be compensated a little.
