Steem Sri Lanka Year-End Contest | Looking Back at 2021

2021 is a slightly different year for all of us. This year we had to do all our work within a limited area for many of us because of the COVID epidemic that has spread around the world. It was a bit of a challenge for us, but we all had to get used to it for the best of us all. But 2021 is a year when I have achieved and accomplished so much in my life.

My internship period started in August last year. I willingly went to school, but all the academic activities had to be done online as the schools were closed due to the COVID condition. Because of this, I've lost a lot of the experience I had to gain, as well as a very beautiful period with my school children.

However, this year I was able to complete my three-year course by doing all the work successfully. Also, with the completion of my national diploma in teaching, I was able to begin my degree this year. As a result of that, I am currently studying as a first-year student in the faculty of humanities and social sciences at the Open University of Sri Lanka.

At the beginning of this year, we planned to host my father's annual almsgiving at home.But, due to the corona situation, we ultimately gave the alms to a nursing home successfully.

I started Lassana Craft , as a very small business in August 2020. It's been a year now, and I've been able to create a lot of crafts within this time. And I'm glad that by now my business has added about 2K followers to my Facebook account.

Also, this year, another little boy joined our family. It was another special event that I will never forget.

There are also some unforgettable tragedies this year. When I was in college, I hoped to finish that time period soon and be able to be happy with family and friends again and have fun with them. But the situation shattered all my dreams. And the loss of so many lives due to this COVID epidemic caused great frustration in my heart. The passing away of some of the most important figures in the country, especially doctors, nurses, and artists, was a very emotional occasion.

The best opportunity I had in 2021 was to get involved with Steemit. Although I created my Steemit account in 2020, I was not able to join it during my studies. But with the help of my friends, I was able to successfully join Steemit in February and go on a long journey. Because of this, I have a lot of experience. Among them, the Steemit charity project takes a special place. The work we did in Karandeniya for this charity project in April this year gave me a lot of unforgettable experiences.

And because of that, I was able to make a lot of good friends. So I see it as a very good turning point that changed my life. It was also an unforgettable experience in my life to take the lead in donating wheelchairs to three disabled people for the Steemit charity project.

Being a part of it is one of the greatest achievements of my life. I'd like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the steem Sri Lanka community for all of this.

And I was able to do many things with a lot of the money I earned through Steemit. Among them, using the money that I earned through Steemit, I bought a refrigerator that was essential for the house, was a major one. Above all, I had the desire to write, and I was inspired to write again because of Steemit.

So, in this way, 2021 has become an experienced but confined year. But I think I had the opportunity to manage everything and do well.

Finally, I want to thank @randulakoralage for giving us a chance to look back over this year 2021. I think this look back will help a lot to make next year more successful. So I wish you all a successful year ahead.

To conclud this, I like to invite @sasanka96 , @anusha96 , @sandupi to join with this and share your nice experience with us.

Thank you for reading ❤
