Christmas 2020
Dear Howie,
How have you been? Wow, this COVID-19 really took a toll on all of us! Many of the stores were closed, we are now doing live streaming instead of a face-to face school and some even lost their loved ones.
I have learned to attend school in our dining room through a laptop. I have learned to somehow get used to time management so I don’t miss a class. So far, I am surviving, but I miss the four walls of the High School. I miss seeing my teachers and my friends.
I thank God that while most parents are losing their jobs, my dad and mom continuously afford to work being frontliners. But let me tell you, there is a catch my mom contracted COVID and in turn, I did and then Dad. It was so difficult as I kept on attending school and my parents, like wounded soldiers in the battlefield, took care of all of us.

For the Gateway City, 2020 has been filled with news about the pandemic and how many are coping. But one Laredoan has done his best to try and give many an escape from those issues.
For the third time, local Jaime Santos has announced The Thrill of the Hunt. A local businessman, he has put together a treasure hunt giving citizens the chance to find items of monetary value.
The Spanish Chess Federation organized a training match in which five of the strongest players from the Iberian country faced an international squad over ten days in La Palma, one of the Canary Islands. The double-round Scheveningen tournament came to an end on Wednesday, with the international team getting a 27:23 victory. | Pictured: Ivan Cheparinov facing Jaime Santos | Photos: Spanish Chess Federation (FEDA)
