Quarter Two: Not Good but Not Bad

Another quarter is finally done—two down, two more to go! Time passes by so quickly, and I didn’t realize that the second quarter was finally done. The second quarter enhanced my knowledge more, and I think I am done adjusting in our classroom. This quarter taught me many lessons, discoveries, and realizations. It was so fun, and I really enjoyed the experience for the second quarter. The lessons have so many advantages that can help me in the future by improving my talents and skills.

I’ve gained much knowledge on each of the nine subjects, plus the citizenship training program. The knowledge I gained will surely help me in many possible ways, like the English and Filipino subjects that taught me how to effectively communicate with a lot of people. And an effective lesson that may help me write better. The subject, Araling Panlipunan, taught me different issues about jobs and why some citizens go to another country. The Edukasyon ng Pagpapakatao taught me things about how to be a good person. Science taught me about mirrors and waves. It’s somewhat confusing. Also, the MAPEH tells me many things, including African music, Zumba, the digital arts, and the Republic Act on having a family and also drugs, which is very useful for me to know so that I can also educate people. Also, the CTP teaches me how to become a good citizen. And in ICT, which is where I learned the different basic coding for hypertext markup language that is designed to be displayed in web browsers, this is actually helpful in the future if I want to design web pages, and I really enjoy doing the activities for coding.

Although during this quarter, of course, there are a lot of problems and challenges that I came across that are very annoying and the same problems as the previous quarter, and some problems from last quarter I managed to get rid of, there are some added problems. For example, I can’t really focus during the discussion because some lessons are boring to me. The other one is that I can’t review very well because of some things. On exams, I can’t understand and I am confused because the questions are situational, and I really hate situational—I'd rather memorize all the coverage of the lessons. Another one is that I don’t understand the lessons because of the differences, and so on. Then, because of journalism, there are a lot of topics that I missed, so I need to catch up. Also, during the impromptu, I was really scared, and I am very nervous and not confident in doing well. Lastly, complicated time management because of different schedules and different activities that I need to attend.

Despite these challenges and problems, I manage to deal with them by creating goals and plans in my head. I made an effort to focus more on our lessons so that I could understand them very well. I give my best shot to do well, even if I've lost hope. And I try my hardest to thoroughly understand the various subjects and the test. I also try to ask my classmate how to do that so that I can catch up with the lessons and try self-reviewing so that I can understand those lessons that I missed and didn’t understand very well. In order to perform well on my impromptu, I tried to get over my fears and relax. I also made an effort to effectively manage my time so that I could take part in all of the events and activities planned without having an impact on my academic performance. Lastly, I pray to the Lord that he will help me deal with my problems and challenges.

Honestly, all through, for me, the second quarter was a hellish experience. The quarter is not giving me the quarter I want to experience. There’s a lot of room for improvement, and I need to improve more for the third quarter. During the previous quarter’s lesson, I think I didn’t apply it to myself because I still got low scores, and I am very disappointed in that. Well, I actually said I would not question my worth, but now I am insecure again and questioning my worth, thinking that I didn’t give any effort for the second quarter even if I promised my mom that I would work hard. But I think I didn’t work hard and just stayed the same because I was lazy, and I don't really know why. Even if I did those things and managed to address them, I am still disappointed.

However, I need to really like hard work and strive hard to excel more this quarter. I need to work very hard and not be lazy. I will try to improve myself and my habits so that, in the next reflection, maybe I can be satisfied with my academic performances. I will try to conclude my inspirations so that I will be motivated more. I will really review properly, be active in classes, and more. I will try to not be insecure and just try my best. And I will pray that I will succeed, and I will manifest that I will apply these realizations and lessons in the third quarter.
