Closing the Doors of the Second Quarter

Looking back on my first reflection, I said I wanted to improve in different aspects. Have I achieved my goals? Have I improved? Have I learned how to do what I have and want to do? It was certainly another journey full of learning and difficulties. It was like the first quarter all over again, just with different challenges.

New lessons, new people, new activities. I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact the second quarter is coming to an end. It felt like it's only been yesterday when we announced the first quarter had ended. I got sick quite often during this time, even during the Christmas vacation. My mood worsens at the sight of someone I used to admire with blind adoration. Past wounds began to heal. New ones created. A new friend made due to archery tryouts. A couple high scores in quizzes, and a couple ones that are low or average. A new set of performance task. New HTML tags learned. Each and every day is filled with new things and old ones. Due to that, I couldn't process how quickly time flies, considering how slow it can seem every now and then.

It's already 2023. May my goals be closer to my reach, may the lessons I've learned, both in school and in life, not be forgotten, and may the wounds that are new be tended in a healthy manner. With all the things happening lately, I've been on edge—the urge to go back to my unhealthy coping mechanisms are getting stronger. Despite that, I do my best to discuss my problems with a friend to get their opinion on how and what I should do about things that are going on in my life. I am forever grateful for these caring, understanding and supportive people for staying by my side, despite how unstable I can be every now and then.
