2016 will most likely be remembered as the year with the most lows in one year.
Italy has been hit by two earthquakes and have shaken many buildings to the core.
Nearly everyday has the news talking about the besieged city of Aleppo where Russian-backed Syrian government forces bombard the rebel held areas, reducing the city's streets and houses to to piles of concrete. One man talked about how it took 4,000 years and hundreds of generations to build the city, and how it's take one generation under 4 years to destroy it. Only this month, they're evacuating the people out (on-and-off).
On the 23rd of June, the UK voted to leave the European Union, causing David Cameron to resign as Prime Minister and let Theresa May take the job, becoming the second female British Prime Minister. Now the departure from the EU is under the course of Brexit, but there those who are unhappy.
The only up, in my view, is, of course, the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. It is remembered as Britain's most successful games aboard with more medals then London 2012. All of this despite fears of the outbreak of the Zika virus and the news of nation-backed cheating and drug tests showing illegal use by those taking part.
I hope that 2017 will be much better for us all.
Wish us all luck.
