2020:A Year Of Tragedy

January 1 of each year the United States is full of celebration from corner to corner. Family and friends gather for cookouts, beach/pool parties, concerts, and other special events that go on around the . There are so many different ones that I couldn't possibly list them all. However the one thing that each event has in common happens at 11:59pm. With anticipation and excitement, we watch the ball drop in Times Square for a countdown of the last 10 seconds the year we said goodbye to. When the clock hits zero we say hello to a new year and the world cheers, claps, and dances up and down the streets in each small town and all the big cities. Hugging and kissing our loved ones for another year we get to spend together and grow together. However when we celebrated for the incoming 2020 NEVER could any of us expect what we got. Furthermore, the United States wasn't alone because every country was hit with tragedy and some places more than one.
