Bittersweet

     

  

          It is true that when you are happy or busy, time seems to pass by faster. The academic year 2022-2023 is almost over, yet I don't feel like it is. The moments that I experienced in the 10th grade will forever be engraved in my heart and memory. In this blog post, I will reminisce about my favorite experiences throughout my 10th grade life and reflect on the things that I could have done, especially in the 4th quarter.

         The school year 2022–2023 started on August 25, 2022. I still remember how nervous I was that day. I am not close with most of my classmates, but they did not make me feel like I didn't belong to our section, Maxwell. Soon enough, I became comfortable with them. Another memory worth remembering is when we were practicing for the Hip-Hop Competition for grade 10. We were given only two days to complete our choreography and polish our dance, so we had to go to my classmate's family's events place so that we could practice properly. In those two days, I became closer with my classmates, especially with Kirby, who is now one of my closest friends. I still have a lot of unforgettable memories with my fellow Maxwellians, and these are only two of them.

          On the other hand, the fourth quarter was very exhausting. There were a lot of requirements that we needed to accomplish, and almost everything was rushed. I was overwhelmed with all of the things that I needed to do. I had a hard time, especially reviewing for the summative test, because I had no notes and only had a few days to review. 

          One thing I learned from my experiences in the fourth quarter is that I should persevere more and strive harder in order to achieve my dreams. In addition, I also realized that the small things you do add up as time goes by; if you have bad habits, you'll probably suffer in the future, but if you have good ones, you'll be successful.

      This blog post is already the last one. At first, I hated doing blogs because it required me to tell what was going on in my life, and I am not the kind of person who shares about her personal life. But as time went by, I learned to like it. Through this platform, I was able to express my true thoughts and emotions. This is such a bittersweet good-bye; it is bitter because I'll miss cramming my blog posts, but also sweet because I will now move on to the next chapter of my life.
