All I Ever Needed

          This quarter has gone by in the blink of an eye. To be honest, I did not enjoy the lessons in the third quarter as much as I enjoyed the lessons in the previous ones. I feel like I did not learn much and that we didn't have enough time to truly master our lessons.  was also not able to give my best this quarter, but at least I had an amazing experience performing various performances.

 

          The third quarter is very exhausting. We carried out a lot of performances, but I enjoyed them all. There were many events that our section, Maxwell, participated in. One is the Grade 10 Hip-Hop Dance Contest. I am not a dancer, but through this endeavor, I realized that you don't have to be a professional dancer to enjoy dancing. That it is for everyone, and there are no rules in dancing. You just have to move your body to the beat of the music! I also became closer with my classmates because of our three-day practice for this competition. I had a wider view of the world because of this event, and I realized that there is more to life than just studying.

          In life, there is no such thing as a constant up or down. Life is full of both. Life throws obstacles at us to teach us lessons. For us to realize that nothing in life is easy. If you want something (i.e your dreams), you should strive for it, fight for it, and endure the pain that comes with it. The third quarter taught me to cherish my high school experience. It made me realize that there is no point of having high grades if you are not truly happy. Maybe this is all I needed all along, not high grades or validation from others, but genuine happiness.
