The Final Chapter of This Book

Finally! I've been waiting for what felt like ages, and now it's finally happening! I'm on my last quarter as a Grade 10 student, and it is all slowly coming to an end. There's a part of me excited to finally meet the end of the school year, but there's also a part of me that is afraid. I'll be a senior high school student in more or less two months. Next week is the final exams. Will I be able to handle the final exam? Will I be able to handle being a senior high school student next school year?

Many thoughts are dwelled upon, and many questions remain unanswered. They continue to haunt me, whether I'm asleep or awake. I may be at school or at home physically... but I wasn't really there. My mind was at war and my heart raced as different emotions flooded in. They clashed and ended up overwhelming me. So if people find me massaging my chest or forehead, that's probably why. 

I met people I didn't expect I'd get close to. It also surprised me how we are quite alike. Though things sometimes go downhill, it is now steadily going up. I just hope it doesn't drop down and crash. My lessons both left me scarred and aware of certain things. Truth be told, I wouldn't say everything I've learned for this school year would be necessarily useful in the far future. Despite that, I'm grateful for the learning experiences, save a few instances where my health was affected while I was attending classes.

To wrap things up, I could say with confidence that I do want to reach the end of this journey of mine as a junior high school student, despite my self-doubt. Life would most likely slap into my face more problems and trials, but that's just how it is. I'll have to keep standing up, no matter how many times I stumble or falter along the way. It is also necessary for me to remember the lessons I have learned and what I will learn from the current trial/problem I am facing. That way, I can continue in this journey on the rocky path full of danger and unpredictable circumstances.
