Last Quarter Chronicles

-

 

Time really flies, doesn't it? It feels like just yesterday I was getting ready for the tenth grade, but here we are, approaching the end of the school year. You know, they say that every ending marks the beginning of something new, and that's definitely been the case for me this year. Let me take you through some of the things I've been learning, the obstacles I've had to overcome, and how I've grown through it all.

So, this fourth quarter has been all about delving into the fascinating world of computers. We've been learning a whole bunch of stuff, like how to troubleshoot computer systems (which they call CSS), set up networks, and make sure everything's safe and secure. It's been really interesting, but it's also come with its fair share of challenges.

One of the biggest challenges was when we had this crazy week where it felt like every teacher decided to pile on the work all at once. Deadlines, tests, quizzes—you name it, we had it, all crammed into just a few days. It got so overwhelming that I ended up getting sick from all the stress. And to top it off, our class time got cut short, so we barely had enough time to cover all the material properly. It was definitely tough trying to keep up with everything.

But you know what they say, tough times build character. Despite all the obstacles, I managed to find ways to stay on top of things. I started making detailed schedules for myself, mapping out exactly what needed to get done and when. And whenever I felt stuck, I didn't hesitate to reach out to the teachers for help. It wasn't easy, but slowly and surely, I started to find my rhythm.



And you know what? I'm proud to say that I've come out of this quarter stronger than ever. I've learned valuable lessons about time management, resilience, and the importance of reaching out for support when you need it. I've discovered that with determination and perseverance, you can overcome even the toughest of challenges.

As I look ahead to the next chapter of my education, I feel more prepared than ever. I'm ready to tackle whatever senior high throws at me, armed with the knowledge and skills I've gained this year. And who knows, maybe the next quarter will bring even more exciting lessons and opportunities for growth.

The Canvas of Growth

-

    In the journey of self-discovery, the term "perfectly imperfect" encapsulates what best describes me. Much like a well-rounded student report card, my academic path exhibits a mix of accomplishments and areas where growth is needed. This blend of strengths and weaknesses serves as a testament to my resilience and adaptability within the ever-evolving landscape of education. Life has a way of throwing unexpected challenges our way, and it's in those imperfections that I've found my strength. Just as a piece of art gains character from its flaws, I believe that my imperfections are the brushstrokes that paint the canvas of my unique identity. They remind me that I'm a work in progress, constantly evolving and learning from my experiences.      One thing of being perfectly imperfect in a scholastic environment is my ability to seamlessly balance academic rigor with a fervent pursuit of extracurricular activities. I've consistently dedicated myself to my studi

Growth Over Change

               I don't really buy into the whole idea of change. Honestly, it sounds a bit like chasing after a shooting star – dazzling but elusive. Instead, I'm all about growth. It's the kind of progress that's more like tending to a plant than flipping a switch. So, here we are, on the brink of 2024, and while everyone's chanting "New Year, New Me," I'm more inclined to steer clear of grand gestures. Let's keep it real and explore some down-to-earth resolutions that align with the belief in steady, meaningful growth.                The first pitstop on this road of growth – the art of saying no. Honestly, I've always been skeptical about the whole "change overnight" deal. Instead, I'm leaning into the idea of setting boundaries and learning to say no when needed. It's not about a radical transformation; it's about growing into the person who knows when to hit pause, preserving energy for what truly matters.

     In the words of Mahatma Gandhi, 'You must be the change you want to see in the world.' As we mark National Clean Up Month and World Clean and Green Week, we confront a critical problem: environmental degradation. Our actions, or lack thereof, have disrupted the natural balance and exposed us to natural disasters.      Through a photo blog, we showcase our commitment to disaster prevention and environmental conservation. Join us on this visual journey to understand the urgent need for change and the role we all play in ensuring a cleaner, greener future. 1. Coastal Clean-up       Here's a photo of our Science and YES-O club officers, including me, along with our dedicated teachers, participating in a coastal clean-up. We believe in the importance of preserving our coastal areas to protect marine life and prevent pollution. 2.
