Obstacles Don't Define Me

          It’s amazing how time flew by so fast. It was only as if yesterday when I first set foot on the edifice of Ilocos Sur National High School. I was just a small, shy and awkwardly social girl then. Who would have thought that I would transform into someone more socialized, hardworking and responsible?

          THIRD GRADING has already ended. Did I use my time as worthwhile as it could be?  Judging from what I have done last Third Grading, it was the hardest in my whole senior life yet. So many activities with so little time to accomplish them, lessons became deeper and harder and outputs and projects all came at once. Even now that I am writing this, I still have a hangover on the intense stress and exhaustion that I have gone through. My head is still aching because of those constant sleepless nights that I have spent in reviewing and in making my assignments. Will this “torture” ever end? Somehow, I think not.

               

             “Education is spending half of your life in figuring out how to waste the other half of your life.”

          I think it goes like that, I’m not sure. The only thing that I really am sure of is that, as I go on my journey in life, problems and challenges will always find a way to get through me.  But I won’t let those impediments define me, I’LL NEVER GIVE UP.

               

             “No matter how hard and which way the wind howls, a mountain cannot bow to it.”

          I have learned a lot this grading period in my ICT class. I was given ideas on how to make my own web design and it made me more creative somehow. I honestly never thought that I will be making something as complicated as making web designs in my whole life. But as I was able to familiarize myself with the different elements of the MS FrontPage, I found out that it wasn’t really as hard as I thought. All you need to have is patience and a whole lot of exploration to make it work.

          Only two months more to go and we will already be graduating in High School. I want to spend every single remaining second in my High School life worthwhile. And I can only do that if I will take my studies seriously and enjoy my time having fun and laughing with my friends. I’ll make every second count.
