What I’ll Remember Most
Hello, everyone!It’s Amelia writing today. It’s hard to believe that it’s already 2022! For me, the start of the year is usually pretty stressful. I put a lot of pressure on myself to start changing my life and I try to make it “perfect” to set the year off right. But, crazily enough, rarely do my plans succeed.

This is my first time to participate in it, and I am realizing just how much of a commitment it is! In this post, I’d like to talk a little bit about what commitment means, an example of commitment, and what comes from our commitments.
