To Learn, To Grow, and to Become Better

 To Learn, To Grow, and to Become Better

           This quarter has been full of discoveries and learning that can guide me in academics and daily life. My intellect has sharpened, and I can state that there has been a change and progress in the way I understand and respond to things. The modules also helped me in my mental development and practice; even with frequent self-study, I learned a lot. However, even though I was always short on time in doing modules, I learned how to manage them effectively. I’m not there yet but I’m doing everything I can to improve my skills and knowledge. 

          As I adjusted to the new type of education or blended learning, I encountered various challenges and problems. Last quarter, I became too relaxed, and my grades dropped because I didn’t do my modules seriously. So, this quarter, I tried to change my negative behaviors to prevent what happened to the previous quarter from happening again. It was stressful since I had a lot of questions to answer and, I was struggling because there was no teacher to help me. There are moments when I consider quitting because the stress of just thinking about the modules that I need to do is too much for me.

It’s difficult for me to manage my time, especially now that I’m in a different country and the time here differs from the time in the Philippines. I typically stay up late to complete the tasks before the deadline. I faced and experienced a lot of struggles, but I must overcome them for my future.

I overcame these challenges by avoiding distractions and focusing on the most important things. I improved my studies to make up for what happened in the past quarter. I gained confidence in my abilities and believed that I could gradually get back on my feet. The struggles and issues I encountered motivated and encouraged me.

Moving on, I will improve my study habits and do my best to increase my knowledge and develop my mind. Whatever challenges that will come in my way, they will serve as a guide for me. I will use them to motivate myself to persevere in life.
