Imagine you’re writing a memoir about this past year and you're designing the cover. What symbol would you put on the cover to represent this year? In a few sentences, tell what your symbol is, and how it represents your year.

If I were designing the cover of my memoir for this past year, I would choose a phoenix as the symbol. The phoenix embodies the essence of resilience and rebirth, which encapsulates my journey throughout the year. Just like the phoenix rises from the ashes, this year has been marked by overcoming hardships, adapting to changes, and emerging stronger than before. The symbol would serve as a reminder of my ability to endure and thrive amidst adversity.
