Towards the Finish Line: Progress of the Third Quarter

It's a bit of a shock, but the third quarter is over, and there's only one quarter left! Time flies quickly since just last month I shared about my experience in the second quarter, but here I am, sharing about the experience I had in the third quarter. Well, it was very exhausting, tiring, and fun, and I think I didn’t really do my best, but I think I slayed somehow. Since it taught me many discoveries, lessons, issues, and realizations, the third quarter expanded my knowledge because of the various topics that we learned. And actually, those topics are very helpful, and I know they have advantages in my life. 

This quarter was pretty short, but I’ve gained a lot of knowledge, even if I am very busy because of the training. The learning and discoveries that I’ve gained have many advantages that can improve my skills and talents, and some can help me in the future, such as in the English subject, where in this quarter it was discussed how to write different kinds of essays, like analytical, critique, persuasive, and more. It was also discussed how to write a different kind of essay that surely is effective, and I know this may help me fulfill my targets because this is one of the projects or tasks that they’ll probably give to us. The subject of Filipino taught me how to make comics, which is very fun to do because I am also interested in making comics. While the other subject, like Mathematics, is probably interesting because it discusses probabilities, combinations, and permutations. Araling Panlipunan taught me the issues about different genders and equalities since this month is National Women’s Month, which is expanding my knowledge on the issues that we face currently. Then, Science discussed topics related to human health and the body, this lesson is quite amazing. The Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao taught me the differences between religions and how to love your country. And the subject TLE taught me how to create HTML, but it has a lot of improvement in that it should create a web design. Also, MAPEH taught me about different kinds of dancing, Filipino composers, animation, and the World Health Organization. And finally, the CTP, which is focused on how to be a good citizen, and the movement for drills.

Unfortunately, I've had a lot of difficulties this quarter. It is very bothersome because the problems are still the same every quarter, but some problems I was able to get removed, and another problem was added, but actually I have a small problem for the third quarter. Well, the problems that I encountered caused me a lot of headaches, such as that I don’t know what I'm going to do in my subjects because of the journalism, which is very horrible, and that I cannot catch up properly because of a lot of assignments on both sides. My time management really sucks because I have a lot of activities and schedules that I need to keep up with. And lastly, I am not enjoying the subject being studied, and I am not really that motivated to study in the third quarter because some of the topic isn't captivating or pertinent to my goals, and it's not interactive or engaging enough to keep my interest.

Even if these challenges are difficult to manage, I still did my best to conquer them for myself so that I could survive this quarter. And I'm glad that I managed to survive. I was able to address those issues by trying my hardest to study and facing my fears. The classes that I didn’t attend or missed, well, I tried to catch up using self-study and asking my classmates and my teachers that whenever we would have a quiz, I would be ready. And I tried to organize my time; I tried to finish the tasks quickly and early so that I didn’t have any problems. I also try to endure some topics that I don’t like or are not of my interest, so I literally change my perspective so that I will be motivated. Also, I tried to be more relaxed and not think bad thoughts so that I could participate very well in the various activities and topics that we did. And I prayed to God that he would guide and help me to face my challenges with a lot of determination so that they would result in a good academic performance.

And as I approach the last quarter, I am very nervous, and my mind is malfunctioning. I don’t know why I’m still surviving tenth grade because I thought I would not survive because there is a lot of pressure that I am experiencing. I am actually scared if I will do well in the last quarter, and I am overthinking if I can manage to achieve my goal in the last quarter. However, in the third quarter, it seems more relaxed, but there are a lot of activities that they've provided.  And I think I did not really do well, but I made more effort than the last quarter, and I am delighted about that.

Nevertheless, I will give my very best in the last quarter. I'll try to give my best shot so that my younger self's dream in the last quarter of tenth grade will come true. I will still continue to improve despite the challenges that I will face. I will strive harder, be motivated all the time, and be inspired because I know there are a lot of people who count on me. I will not be lazy and try to be more active so that I will be satisfied with the outcomes. Last but not least, I pray to God that I will achieve the goals that I set and that He will guide me so that I will be on the right path for the sake of myself and my dreams. 

As long as I dream, I know I can be better, and I will shine brighter than I’ve ever imagined.
