So Far, How's Quarter 1?

Quarter 1, the starting point, could be described as tiring and a very roller coaster ride. For the past almost 5 months, it has been a good ride. From when I met new people, to how I ended up making friends with them. 

Yes, I have finally made friends with new people aside from my close friends. It was actually surprising that I could do that because all that I've been thinking is that just having Claire, Bryle, Aira, Hessah, El Jhay, Jhaneiza, Ghrant, and Jievan is enough for me. But it turned out that I was wrong again. I also needed to see what's happening outside. I needed to wander to learn.

August, September, October, and November made me realize more that it's not bad to fail. Really, it isn't. Maybe we are more afraid of others' judgments of us failing. Maybe we were so focused on reaching the unreachable expectations that even failing a little bit affects us too much. So far, I can say that my psychological behavior towards education has improved. 

Quarter 1 taught me how to make blogs, solve trigonometric functions and sequence, understand a research paper, contribute in solving community problems, distinguish the difference between the types of plate boundaries, listen carefully and properly, develop conscience, distinguish impressionisms from expressionisms, and construct sentences that follows grammatical roles of verb

To break it up in smaller pieces, I learned how to make blogs because of ma'am Evelyn. It was actually fun to have some hands-on activities again. I have created 6 blogs now, including this one, with the help of our teacher. I became familiar with the aspects and parts of blogger, procedures in making blogs and a BlogSpot, and those who were part of the history of Internet.

Solving Trigonometric Functions was also fun to the point that I could end up crying for not being able to match the same identities. But in the end, I have mastered it. There were so many identities to memorize, but on the good side, I have my friends who helped me memorize faster.

Familiarizing myself to Research in Mathematics was also easy because we focused on the definitions of parts of a research paper. Ma'am Anita, our dear adviser was so good in teaching us this one. 

Plate Boundaries were also enjoying. We answered activities and colored many plates, and it was funny for me because I slightly don't know all the continents because I am not a fan of geography. Nevertheless, it was good too!

Arts also made me enjoy 1 hour of the afternoon. Honestly, I don't have the ability to create the most beautiful arts, but those that I created turned out to be better that what I expected. Impressionisms and Expressionisms were enjoyable. 

However, the ride was not always on the top. The roller coaster had ups and downs. I consider the ride's downs as my challenges and problems that I have encountered. One of them and I think is the hardest one is that I easily forget even the smallest things, which I call short-term memory loss. I find it hard to recall lessons because of it.

Nevertheless, I think I have it handled by just taking notes while the discussions are occurring. Notes helped me recall easier. I also borrowed notes from my friends that's why lessons were accessible for me. 


Moving on, I will carry all of the things that I have learned and experienced as I enter the next quarter again. I know what's waiting out there is going to be harder than what has happened in Quarter 1, but at least I have earned some experiences and lessons that can help me out there. Yeah, it's going to be a very enjoying roller coaster again. I must fasten my seatbelt and bid farewell to all of the negativities that I gained in the Quarter 1 to be more healthy as I face another period again.
