has created a community that we
never thought possible. There is still
a lot of work to do, but I think seeing
where we need work has given our
community some clear direction.
Everyone will eventually need help.
So, it is imperative that we start right
now." – KELLEY DIXSON
"In 2020, we all learned to not
only influence the best in each
other during a hard time, but we
learned to be more understanding
– that my brother or sister is ALSO
doing the best they can. My goals
for 2021 are to get recognized by
National Geographic or win a photo
sweepstakes, get married, ride my
bike three new places, travel to four
places and to do an altruistic deed
that no one knows I did."
– JESSICA WHITLEY
"I'm hoping that 2020 was an
aberration. I'm ready to move on
from the grips of the pandemic.
After several years of increased
nativism, skepticism and cynicism,
I'm hopeful we will begin to heal,
unite and restore America and the
pendulum will begin swinging back
to a time when respect, decency and
civility are valued." – JAMI GAUDET
"My 2021 goal is to have goals
again, and to lose my COVID-19
extra 19 pounds!" – CHRIS SMITH
"In 2020 I feel like every part
of my life seemed to slow down,
or even stop. For 2021, I want my
goals for healthy living to return to
some semblance of normal, for this
country to stand together instead of
divided, and to finally take that trip
we were planning." — RENEE CORWINE
"2020 has been a rough year all
around — personally, nationally and
globally — but I've grown a lot, and
I'm excited to transition into the new
year with a better, more intimate
understanding of myself and my
dreams." – IVY CLARKE
