According to Instagram, it was a year ago today that I posted this.

At the start of 2020, W.TEC was featured in TIME Magazine via a letter written to our alumnae by Sir Tim Berners-Lee (inventor of the World Wide Web).

It was and is still a huge honour. But what I really reflected on was the big dreams we had after that publication came out.

Then COVID-19 hit, a pandemic was declared and many parts of the world went into lockdown.

We were forced to adjust our plans and expectations. We had to temporarily shelve some of our plans, but broke new ground in others

All this to say that life can throw you curveball and you just have to recalibrate.  Your benchmark of excellence may also totally change. And that is life.

I had a year of travel planned and I only went on one trip. I had lots planned at work, but I learnt to celebrate some more modest achievements.

However, I spent the most amount of quality time with my family EVER. Some long buried interests were reawakened. And all in all, as tough a year as it was, it was the best thing that could have happened to me.

How has the pandemic caused you to reassess your goals and priorities?
