1st Quarter Reflection

                         Now that the first quarter of the school year is almost over, I'd like to say that this quarter is both the hardest and easiest. It's hard because I needed time to readjust to the habit of waking up early, and attending classes, and balancing my duties both in and out of school, especially after summer break, it was pretty overwhelming. It was also easy because the first quarter lessons are often easy to understand or just a recapitulation of our past lessons in lower grades levels.

 

                        I learned to manage my time effectively and in a more organized fashion. I take pride in the success I achieve, whether minor or major. I also faced a lot of challenges in these past few months, particularly in subjects that aren't always my strong suits. Through all this, my peers were always there to motivate me, and help me understand certain topics. I observed personal development outside my academic profile as well. I gained a greater confidence in engaging in class discussions and communicating with my peers.

                        This quarter may have a lot of highs and lows, but nonetheless this quarter helped me build a strong foundation for the following quarters to come. It helped me prepare for the future and to be mindful about the things I have to complete.
