To New Beginnings!

 

New Year’s Eve is a day mixed with feelings for many individuals. This is a time to celebrate the end of the year. Welcome what is in store for the New Year. Also, this is a time where much experience a sense of nostalgia as we reflect on the events that took place in their lives in the past 12 months. A lot has happened for the past 12 months that it feels like forever. Nevertheless, we should always be grateful for everything that God has planned for us.

As I am entering a new year, the memories that I made during 2020 will shape to what I will become this year

and the next few years. I’ll make sure that each day I wake, I will live my life like there’s no tomorrow. That is the only way I can say that I have truly lived. To live with no regrets. Going forward and not looking back at the things that weigh me down last year is a way to start the new year.

2020 has been a tough year. We didn’t really enjoy it, we were all just staying in our home waiting for it to be over. We lived in fear, fear of catching the deadly virus. We lost a lot of people this 2020. I, for example, lost my beloved grandmother and from that moment I knew that a lot was going to change. Nevertheless, I still have many reasons to be thankful. I survived 2020!

They are in their home and all they do is cook, clean, do the laundry and take care of their wives and children. They have no right to work or vote. They can’t do what they want to do. Men were seen as more assertive, confident, while women were expected to be relational, communal. Men rule the world and women are considered inferior to them. María Josefa Gabriela Cariño de Silang, also known as Gabriela Silang was a Filipina military leader best known for her role as the female leader of the Ilocano independence movement from Spain.

Gabriela is referred to as the “Joan of Arc “

Reflection .4

Image
I am now ending my last year as a Junior High School student. It’s such a pity that we cannot experience the traditional approach because of Covid-19, nevertheless, I learned a lot of things that will still be needed as I go on to a higher grade level. I admit that it was hard for me to answer my modules because the lessons were hard. But I am grateful for my teachers and classmates that are very nice and approachable whenever I ask questions about the given topic. Even though I am now in the last quarter, I still find it hard to balance my time with my studies and socials, that is why sometimes I cram in answering my modules. However, I promise to myself that I will do my best in order to not give in to distractions and to have my 100% focus on my academics. Time flies so fast! I still remember the day that I was composing my reflection for the 1 st quarter. Now, I am writing this reflection for the 4 th quarter. Thank you for your extraordinary effort & patience, Ma’am Evelyn
