The Great Recession affected Canada pretty hard, my family lived in Canada. The Great Recession began in December 2007. This recession was so long that it ended in June 2009, and ended up as the longest recession since WW2. When the recession began, the unemployment rate was around 5%, and rose to almost 10% by the time the recession was over. -

This was a life changing occurrence because it gave me a new family at a young age, so I gained stepsiblings and this mother figure. -
This was a big moment in U.S history because Obama became the first African-American president. This helped in the future when it came to immigration issues with my family in America. -
This helped many families as well as my family financially so it was a good change for us. -
This hurricane ruined and took multiple people's lives, and my stepmom's family was in the East Coast at the time, scaring them. -
This was a big change for me, because I had to start at a new school, and it was just me, my sister and my dad so I gained a sense of responsibility. -
Obviously a huge change, I knew very little about the country and it was a quick move. -
In the future, this caused complications with the immigration process with my family. -
The Covid 19 pandemic caused a quarantine, and cut my 7th grade year short. -
This was a big moment for me because I felt more mature but didn't get to benefit off of the things I had always wanted to when I got to eighth grade. -
This was a big change because I barely knew anyone here and it was a completely different environment, but it changed me for the better.
