1st Quarter– Quite Good For A Start, Huh?

 

        I would be lying if I say that I didn't feel any amount of pressure and stress even for just a bit. When you both have to work and be active on the household, on your studies, and some other more things like a career that is still going on like me who is proud and blessed that I am still a Talent Host of Vigan City's Local Chanel Tvigan, plus adds up, a hobby that turned into your favorite thing that you would love to keep going on–you really have to keep your heads up and yourself tough. You have to keep going on because if you can't finish a certain task, it would all be in doom. So if I can express what I feel right now that the 1st quarter is going to end, I am happy. I survived it, and we are off to a new quarter. It might be still a long journey, but as they say "baby steps". As we finish one, we'll soon finish them all.

         

Here's the thing, it is quite challenging that sometimes you are not that capable enough to be at everything. With the new learning, you also need to be modern, and with this it's already clear that you need technology and internet. That's one of just the main issues for not every single time our internet is stable. One thing that made it a little challenging as well is that you just don't need to be a good student, but a good daughter as well. You have to do chores sometimes, you have to help your other siblings because probably you're much more capable than them, you have to take care of your youngest sibling, and you have to be tough and not let stress eat you. There were even times that I can't write anymore which is my favorite hobby, and it makes me feel weary. 

           But I am happy that I am still learning because not every student has the same situation with me. And that situation is still good... great even because even if we all know that the face to face classes are much more effective, we are all trying to gain knowledge and have the quality education that we do deserve. I learned and discovered that in the times of hardship, you would really sink down–but learn to sink down with intelligence, then rise with wisdom. That's the best thing because I am not just giving my brain the academic knowledge it needs, but the wisdom about life that it yearns for. 

          I fought these challenges wholeheartedly. It's okay to let your emotions out for awhile, then choose to continue right after. I scribbled these thoughts out and turned them to them either proses and poems, and I guess that's also one good thing that I discovered–that I can write effectively, that I can write more effectively, and that writing is my power. I listen to songs, made myself ones even, and lastly I let myself have breaks even if it's just for a couple of minutes. So moving on, I will take these with me. I would be better, I would be stronger, I guess I'll use a more effective study habit, but most of all, I would remind myself that the only competition I have is myself, so I need to know where I must stand, how great I can do, and I how can I use and express my value.
