Reflection

        

    We can never bring back the time that had passed and undo the things we've done. But we can still cut the wrong doings we have and continue to strive more until the very last.

            Third grading period is about to end again. Comparing this grading period and the previous one, I can say that I really improved. I put an effort and I sacrificed a lot. I attended my classes regularly and made it a point not to be absent. I also passed my requirements on time. I really learned a lot from my mistakes during the previous grading and I’m glad that it served as a lesson which I have employed diligently during the third grading period. Even if I was quite hard up to apply some of our lessons, I still tried to explore it on my own. Fortunately, I was able to know it. It just needs a period of time and of course, a little patience.

            To sum it all, 3^rd  grading period was a lot better than the previous one. But, its time to say goodbye and welcome the very last grading of our high school life. Let us continue what we have started. It’s the last! Remember? Let’s make the most out of it because we can never bring back time. So, while the clock is still tick-tick-ticking, do everything you can. Be good, be better, be the best!

NEW YEAR, NEW ME

THE START OF SOMETHING NEW

            Since childhood, or should I say since I started schooling, I have been asked to write about my New Year’s resolution. For school compliance, I would then start enumerating things that I would want to change about myself, most especially concerning my attitudes. But as I grew older, I honestly would admit that my New Year’s resolutions were only good for a few days, or weeks, perhaps. What then is the importance of having to list down things for change when I could not even fulfil even half of the list?

Now that I am sixteen, about to enter my college life, now that I  am older, I have grown more mature as with regards to my whole being as a person. I guess it is time to bid goodbye to my childish manners and see things realistically. I have to be honest, I did not make any list this New Year. I guess change has to come from within, not basing change to the list we make. I admit am not a perfect person, as anybody else is. But for now, I guess I have to exert more effort so that I would become a better person.

For now, instead of making list about my New Year’s resolution, I have made a list of what I would want to become someday. I have made a list of  how I can attain my goals in life. Young as I am, sweet sixteen as they say, I can say I have achieved so much than any other teenager has my age. So many opportunities have come my way, so much achievements have been made. But I do not want to stop there. It is not that I have never content myself with my achievements, but I would want some achievements of mine as my stepping-stones in achieving my goals in life.

This year, I really would say, “Hey, it’s New Year! You will see a new me!”. Still there were times when I get a little bit irritable at home or sometimes I go back to my childish ways at home, but perhaps, those manners are because of the pressures I get…rushing up projects and other school requirements. But things would again change when I started preparing myself for sleep. Although my mind and body was tired for the day’s activities, I would just smile and say to myself, “What a day! It’s another day that passed, and tomorrow would be new one. I would then rest for tonight in preparation for a new day tomorrow.”

Yes, I have become a new person. I have grown more mature. I have bidden goodbye to most of my childish manners, I have started seeing things positively, I have become a stronger person. Well I guess I needed those attitudes so that I can say that I am truly prepared for my college life. I wanted to become a pediatrician someday. If I continue the things that I have mentioned earlier, then I am confident that I will succeed someday.
