In light of the fact that there is so much negativity following this election, I thought it’d be a good time to shine light on some of the good things that happened in 2016. People are deeming 2016 as the worst year ever, and I was a little disheartened too after the election, so I decided to spread in some of the positive things that came out of this year.

1. The tiger and panda numbers are growing. I do not know how people can see this as bad news. Pandas and tigers aren’t going extinct!!!
2. 500 elephants were located to better safer homes!!!
3. Harriet Tubman will replace Andrew Johnson on the 20 dollar bill!
4. The death of a meme. Leonardo Dicaprio finally won an Oscar this year. After years of memes about him not winning an Oscar he finally pulled out a win.
5. A sequel to Finding Nemo came out this year called Finding Dory!
6. News about another Incredibles movie coming out also came out. Which a sequel for The Incredibles is long overdue.
7. Deadpool also came out this year. And if you haven’t seen this movie yet I’d highly recommend it.
8. Pokemon Go players placed lure modules near hospitals that had sick kids.
9. This year we’ve made progress on the vaccines for lung and brain cancer.
10. Scientists discovered the gene responsible for ALS thanks to the ice bucket challenge. A movement like that made a difference.

Now besides these main good things there are still other good things that happen in the world. Someone got married this year, someone out there got a puppy this year, someone got a promotion this year after working for a long time. Good things happen all around us and we shouldn’t let the bad things that happen consume us. Let’s spread the positivity.
