We Have Hope for You, 2022!

What are your predictions for 2022? 

Charlie – My prediction for 2022 is that there will be more negative effects on the earth that are caused by global warming. AND the Toronto Maple Leafs will not win the Stanley Cup! My favourite team is the Ottawa Senators. 

 

Harrison – My prediction for 2022 is more of a hope that schools will not close anymore due to the pandemic. School is so much better in person. I also predict that Canada will do really well in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China. Go Canada! 

 

Any guesses what’s to come in London, Ontario, Canada, the world?  

Charlie – I’m hoping that in 2022 we won’t have to wear masks anymore. We will just have to learn to live with COVID-19 just like we live with the flu.  Around the world I think that AI will become more helpful so small things will be done with smart technology. 

 

Harrison – We live near the new Amazon distribution centre that’s being built and I predict that when it opens there will be a lot of new jobs and A LOT of traffic. This could be a problem for people who own stores around here because people find it easier to order online and get it delivered right to their door. I hope that doesn’t happen. 

 

What are YOU most excited about in 2022?  

Charlie – Next year I turn twelve. I am most excited about still being a kid with not a lot of responsibilities except for my chores. I love playing with my friends outside, but when I turn thirteen, I will have a lot more responsibilities. 

 

Harrison – I’m most excited about sports and everything opening up. People will get to spend more time with family, and go on more vacations and hopefully not worry about the pandemic as much. 

 

What goals or resolutions have you set for the upcoming year?  

Charlie – My goal for 2022 is to do something to help someone everyday, big or small.  People do a lot of things to make my life good so I want to do that for other people. 

 

Harrison – My 2022 goal is to become better at running and become a better sketch artist. I would also like to practice more to become better at playing the guitar.
