DID YOU KNOW

2017

This year wasn't the best  one wouldn't you agree, but even with a year like this there are some good news....

2017 was a rough year, but there were also plenty of wonderful things that happened in the world.

Notable scientific advancements in 2017 include a treatment for ALS and a device to help regrow skin for burn victims.

There were also feel-good stories like when Southwest Airlines flew a plane full of puppies to safety after Hurricane Harvey.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's engagement breathes new life into the British royal family.

Denmark became debt free this past March for the first time in 183 years.

A team at University College London developed a drug that they hope could stop Huntington's disease, which is a disease that damages the nerve cells in the brain.

Women who had been harassed and assaulted in the workplace stood up and spoke up — and, in many cases, were listened to and believed. Was this the harbinger of genuine change? Maybe. At least a serious conversation about new laws and other reforms has begun.

In the United States, too, the courts played a heartening role, showing their independence and willingness to stand up to the Trump administration when it issued questionable orders: the travel ban.

Women in Saudi Arabia were granted permission to drive starting in June. Yes, small progress in the 21st century — but progress. Also coming soon to Riyadh.

All right that's what I got for you all hope you enjoyed. I will tell you 2017 was not by far the best year for me or for you or for the world, but it was not that bad. I would love to hear your thoughts on this year make sure to comment them in the comment section.
