LONDON, Dec. 19 (Xinhua) Four days before Marcus Hird, a 27 year-old postgraduate, was set to move house in west London, he was told to self-isolate due to coming into contact with someone who had tested positive for coronavirus.
It meant Hird couldn t move on the scheduled day, although he later tested negative for COVID-19.
On the rescheduled day of moving into the new home, London went into Tier Three restrictions, which meant his plans would have to be put on hold again.
But the biggest uncertainty hangs not over his house moving, but on his career. This year should have been a crucial one as Hird aspires to become a teacher.

It’s the start of a brand new year and whether it’s getting into shape, making more money or breaking bad habits, we’re all making New Year’s resolutions. Approximately 75% of us make some kind of promise to self-improve, yet somehow only 10% of us follow through by week three. So what is it about the New Year that makes us want to improve ourselves? What is the psychology surrounding the tradition and how can we stick to our resolutions?
January is a time of reflection and an opportunity for renewal, named after the Roman God Janus, the protector of gates and doorways. His image depicts two faces, one face looks into the past and the other into the future. Looking back at the previous year we are given the chance to reflect on our mistakes, but also envision the future possibility of achieving more and reaching our highest potential.
