Another roller coaster ride has finally come to an end

  

    The end of this school year is just around the corner, and it still feels unreal that we are about to survive four quarters or ten months of this schoolyear. Time really does fly so fast. This quarter has been quite challenging for me, and it's a relief that it's almost over, but it's also sad because I'm attached to my section, and the end of the school year means I won't be able to attend classes with the same fantastic classmates and adviser I have now. This quarter has taught me a lot of things, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to expand my knowledge and stretch my understanding. 

    As the school year comes to a close, I wanted to express sincere appreciation to everyone who made this year bearable. This year has had a lot of ups and downs, but your presence and support have made it tolerable, and even joyful at times. I would also like to thank our teachers. Your dedication, guidance, and patience have formed and enhanced our academic career. Thank you for teaching us, encouraging us, and believing in our abilities.

    Moving forward, I will apply the knowledge I have received from this quarter to succeed  and accomplish more in life.  And despite the difficulties I had, I was able to pick up lessons that are quite helpful in our daily lives. It will be difficult, but I know that it will help me become a better version of myself, so I will keep trying to do better. Indeed, this school year made my junior high school meaningful and extraordinary. Once again this is April Diane Fronda, a survivor of an incredible roller coaster ride who is eager to face another one in the future.

Life after a Decade

      What will I look like in ten years? What will I grow into? How about me as a person? What's where I'm at?. Well I can't really picture my future today as I'm still a young girl with undefined dreams but I do envision myself continuing to pursue a career in my chosen field in 10 years. 

      Accountancy is the course I’m planning to take in college, and I envision myself as an accountant who is also a law student in ten years. I would then aim to join a prominent law firm where I could use my education and experience to offer knowledgeable legal advice and assistance.

       In conclusion I'm grateful for every step that led me here and looking forward to the future that lies ahead. And I hope to see myself being content, capable, and motivated person. Keep in mind that despite the challenges you may face, with determination, hard effort, and a commitment in  whatever you do, you are still capable of achieving the goals you set for yourself.

Change Begins With You

    "Change starts with me”, the line highlights the part each individual plays in making a difference and bringing out positive change. It acknowledges that individual actions and decisions may have an impact on larger community or global changes. We may help create a better world by embracing our personal responsibilities and actively working to improve ourselves.

     Start by thinking about your own attitudes, decisions, and actions. Determine those areas of improvement and work on your own personal growth. Next is decide what improvements you want to see in yourself and everything around you, then take action to bring up those changes. Set specific objectives and work consistently toward accomplishing them.  

  You also need to be mindful about the possible consequences of your actions and behaviors. And another one is always look for ways to learn more and gain a broader perspective on the world. Encourage others to think critically and take part in meaningful discussions by sharing what you have learned.

Always keep in mind that change is a continuous process, and the impact may not always be immediate or visible. Start with small steps and eventually make it bigger. However, by embodying the principles of "change starts with me" in your daily life, you can have compassionate and sustainable future.

Adiós, 3rd Quarter

    

     It feels unreal that another quarter of this school year has already finished; indeed, time does fly so fast. Another chapter of this school year has already come to an end. Looking back at this quarter, I remember the hardships and challenges I had to go through to do all the school works and activities. I felt like this third quarter is more exhausting than before, and I'm not going to say it was simple or enjoyable because it was a lot of effort. Despite these circumstances, I am still thankful because they helped me to learn and grow. Furthermore, this quarter has also taught me a lot of things, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to learn new things and broaden my knowledge.   

    Throughout the third quarter, we learned about community-based research, which we had never heard of before, yet it is quite similar to what we are learning in our Research subject. The only difference between these two is that there were only a few parts in making community-based research compared to what we are doing in Research subject, which is wider and more complex. Nevertheless, the topic has taught me to work well with the people in my community and has helped me to discover more about certain aspects of our town.  

    We all know that every community has differences and similarities, so learning and expanding knowledge about your community is significantly important. Then, I realized how grateful I was to have learned how to create my community-based project. Although I have faced minor challenges , I can say that this allows me to become more connected to and involved in my own community.

    Moving forward, I will apply the knowledge I have received from this quarter to succeed in the upcoming quarters and accomplish more in life. This quarter has helped me learn more about the internet and composing written works.  And despite the difficulties I had, I was able to pick up lessons that are quite helpful in our daily lives. It will be difficult, but I know that it will help me become a better version of myself, so I will keep trying to do better. After the last week of the third quarter, the last quarter of this school year will begin. I am eagerly looking forward to learning more in this subject and spending my remaining time as a junior high school student discovering more topics on this subject. Looking forward to what the fourth and last quarter has to offer to us, and I believe I learned a lot during this quarter.
