Toughest Among the Toughest

-


 I was in grade 7 when the pandemic started. Many things have changed as a result of COVID-19. School closed is just one way of COVID-19 has caused a lot of damage. Instead of being in a classroom and learning, we we're at home answering modules and doing activities. I am not used to being at home all the time and working on my cellphone. I'm usually in a classroom surrounded by my peers. However, I am human so I will learn to adapt, but for now it is hard. With social distancing, we now separate ourselves from other parts of society. This has made me feel very much disconnected from my friends. This has allowed my mind to go to the dark side, where my fears come out. I always worry about when will this pandemic end? With the growing cases all over the world, I worry about my health, my family members, my studies and of course on how we will live. But as time have passed by, I knew that I am one of those who bravely fight with covid. I endured the hardships being coped up in a little space in our home for two years learning remotely. By that, I have come to acknowledge that knowing how to protect yourself first, is a step to protect others. Learning during pandemic is one of the toughest experience I have. This is a memory that I can share to the next generation. That I am one of those who survived schooling during pandemic.

It’s hard to believe that we have now been living with the COVID-19 pandemic for over two years. As we approach the holiday season, it’s clear that things will not be quite the same as they were in the past. In the past, Christmas was a time for gathering with family and friends, exchanging gifts, and indulging in festive meals and treats. However, the pandemic has changed all of that.  As we enter the holiday season, it’s important to remember that we are still in the midst of a pandemic. This means that we need to be cautious and follow guidelines in order to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe. This may mean that we have to celebrate Christmas in a more low-key manner than we are used to. One way that we can celebrate Christmas in the new normal is by having virtual gatherings. Thanks to technology, we can still connect with our loved ones and share in the joy of the holiday season, even if we can’t be physically together.

Change, it starts with me

"Change, it starts with me" is a powerful idea that reminds us that transformation begins with ourselves. It recognizes that if we want to see positive change in the world, we need to take responsibility for our own actions and choices. It's about looking within, reflecting on who we are, and being willing to make improvements. When we change ourselves, we can inspire and influence others to do the same, creating a ripple effect that leads to meaningful and lasting transformations. To start with, personal change requires us to be aware of ourselves and to challenge our own beliefs and behaviors. We need to acknowledge areas where we can do better and actively work towards positive change. For example, if we want to promote a more inclusive and accepting society, we must first confront our own prejudices and make an effort to eliminate them. By practicing empathy, listening to others, and educating ourselves, we can become agents of personal transformation that radiates ou...

As the third grading period comes to a close, it is important to take a moment to reflect on the past few months. For many, this period has been a roller coaster ride of emotions and challenges, with both highs and lows. It has been a time of growth, learning, and self-discovery. Looking back, it is clear that this period has been tougher than expected. The pressure and stress of school work, combined with personal struggles, have made it difficult to stay focused and motivated. It often felt like there was no end in sight, and the path forward was shrouded in darkness. However, despite these challenges, there have been moments of joy and happiness that have kept us going. One of the most important things that we have learned during this period is the value of perseverance. We have realized that it is not enough to simply hope that things will get better. Instead, we must actively work towards our goals, even when it feels like there is no progress to be made. We have learned to be pat...
