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...
