The Senior's Travail

Finally... We have passed the most difficult part in high school, our junior life. We are now facing our last year in the secondary education. They say that this year, it would be easier but I expected that there would be lots of pressure.

Co-Curricular Affairs

On the start of the classes there is a need for leadership and teamwork to finish all our group works, for instance, the DPSA -Community Based Research. We really sacrificed some of our classes and we even went home late just to finish this research. we also need to come on Saturdays for our CAT - our last trainings and the COLT Admission Test, and for our MTAP Classes. Aside from these, we also have other extra co-curricular activities which are connected to the monthly celebrations of ISNHS - contests and seminars.

As the school year goes on, our lessons become more difficult and challenging as well as our ECA's. Because of these ECA's, my schedule became hectic. There were lots of things that were assigned to me. The bitter part of it is that they were given to me at the same time, so I don't know what to do first. I was confused on how to use my time wisely. There were oodles of sleepless nights on which I had to rush all these things (Burning the midnight oil!!!) because I am hopeful to reap all the fruits of my hardships. I have lots of official businesses at school - CAT matters, ECA's, school paper, science club and more; and I don't know what to accomplish first.

On these activities, I needed to prove that I really deserve what they've given to me. I have proven some but I wanted to test my capabilities again. I want to improve my skills! I want to surpass my failures! I want to defend what I have reaped before! These all happened during the Nutrition Month Celebration in Vigan where I got 1st place in the Mural Painting Contest. This was my second time to join in such contests and I had a title to defend, so, I really did my very best.
