Week 6: Foundation Day, back to physical fitness, sundate with family and a teacher's last class with us.

Monday:

It’s a special day today not only for me, but for the whole school because we will celebrate the foundation day of our school. To make the celebration extra special, each grade level will have their own performance. Us, the whole senior high school, have shadow dancing and singing as out performance. We’ve been practicing for the past weeks, and it is the day to show our very best as we perform. I became nervous as we perform in front of the whole school.

After the whole foundation day program, me and my friends ate at cubao for an hour. We headed back to the school because the games in our intrams is ongoing, and we want to support our teammates. After their games, we had the rest of the afternoon as our free time. I played badminton with my friends, and we really enjoyed it and had fun together. I came home full of sweat since, believe it or not, badminton is a tiring and competitive sport.

Tuesday:

Today was just a normal online class day for me. We only have classes until 1pm ever since they reduced our class hours into 1 hour per subject. We were informed by our teacher that we will have a worksheet tomorrow morning. Me and my friends planned to review together during nighttime but unfortunately, we didn't get the chance to review together since we were all busy doing our own errands. That's why I studied on my own and understood the lesson we had before I went to bed.

Wednesday:

Wednesdays are always our worksheet day in basic calculus. This is because our lesson is discussed during our online class, which is yesterday, then followed by a worksheet. I’ve reviewed last night and went through my notes during this morning just to make sure that I remembered the lesson that we will have as our worksheet. Most of the class understood the lesson and passed the test. We were all rejoicing after checking it.

Our English teacher, who is Ms. Eva, announced that this will be the last time she will have a face-to-face class with us. I heard from a motivational speaker that life is full of transitions. As the time passes by, we will transition from one situation to another for us to have achieve bigger blessings and successes. At first, it might be hard to let go and move on, but we all know that it is all part of God’s plan for us and He is preparing bigger things for us along the way. I don’t say this a lot, but Ms. Eva made a big impact in my life that I will always remember because of all the life lessons and advice she gave to us.

Thursday:

Getting back to exercising and going to gym was my goal recently. So, I decided that I will start being consistent again as I continue to lose more weight for me to achieve my ideal body. That's why I went to the gym today and started my journey again. When I first started exercising during the pandemic, I was motivated to lose weight and fortunately, I lost a lot. Transitioning into senior high school hindered me to continue my weight loss journey since I was still adjusting, and I am glad that I am now motivated again to be consistent and excited to see the results.

Friday: 

It was announced yesterday that there will be no classes or any activities today. So I stayed in my home for the whole morning. I played basketball during the afternoon and practiced my shooting. I went to the church after playing basketball and stayed at the mall until 9pm. I headed home late and watched a movie with my family.

Saturday:

When I woke up this morning, my parents were about to leave. They informed us that they will be attending a seminar in our church, and I’ll be alone with my younger bro. We didn’t do much during the whole afternoon and spent time watching and surfing the internet. I played basketball during the night and enjoyed it because I was shocked that all of my neighbors, who I’d met before, are playing at the court. At almost midnight, me and my brother went to ministop and had a midnight snack.

Sunday:

This day of the week is dedicated for our family time together. We all went to church in the morning and ate lunch after. Since it is the last week of the month, we went to the barbershop and got a new haircut. Me and my younger bro went to our favorite bonding place which is the arcade and played there for an hour. We went home early in the night to sleep early as our classes will start again the next day.

To Ms. Eva:

Thank you, Ms. Eva, for not only being a great teacher to us, but also a great friend who had imparted a lot of wisdom to us that we may use for the rest of our lifetime. I remembered our first class together; we were all very intimidated by you and nervous to recite because of our lack of confidence. Because of your tips and encouragement, each and every one of us slowly gained confidence and courage as we recite not only in your class but also in all of our subjects. I may not know the exact reason why you’ve decided to leave, but I’m sure that God will guide you and provide your needs as you face the next chapter of your life. We love you Ms. Eva and God bless po on your next journey!!
