Through Challenges comes Growth




Being part of a band was one of the best and most unforgettable experiences of my student life. It gave me a sense of purpose and belonging, something that made all the stress from school feel a little lighter. I loved what we were doing because it wasn’t just about playing music; it was about connecting with people who shared the same passion. Every practice, performance, and laugh we shared made me feel happy and proud. Even when I was tired, I still pushed myself because I wanted our group to last and to do well together.

I really gave everything I could for our band. I brought food during rehearsals, helped with transportation, and even offered my place so we could have a comfortable space to practice. I wanted everyone to feel supported because I believed that teamwork and care were what made us strong. But as time passed, things started to change. Some members became too busy, others lost interest, and eventually, we disbanded. It was painful to see something I worked so hard for just fade away. It felt like all my efforts didn’t matter, and it honestly broke my heart.


At the same time, I was dealing with so many other problems. Being a student leader came with a lot of responsibilities, and trying to balance that with academics and personal life was really hard. There were nights when I barely got any sleep because I had to finish schoolwork after meetings or practices. My schedule was always packed, and no matter how much I tried to organize my time, it never felt enough. Sometimes I’d feel like giving up because everything was just too much to handle. I was tired, stressed, and overwhelmed, but I still tried my best to keep going.




Even though our band ended, I realized that the experience taught me more than I expected. I learned that no matter how much effort you put into something, it might still not last and that’s okay. What truly matters are the lessons and memories you take with you. It taught me how to manage my time better, how to stay strong even when things don’t go the way I hoped, and how to find growth in difficult moments. I also learned that it’s okay to struggle, to feel tired, and to fall apart sometimes, as long as you stand back up again.

CLEAN UP DRIVE

Image
Our community joined forces in a clean-up drive to promote a healthier and greener environment. Everyone, young and old, helped out in picking up trash—it was a simple act that made our community shine brighter. The clean-up drive reminded us that throwing garbage properly is not just a rule, but a way of showing love for our home. With every piece of trash collected, we felt that we were giving back to nature and making our surroundings more livable. Beyond cleaning, the drive brought smiles, teamwork, and the spirit of bayanihan alive in our community.

ICT REFLECTION

My ICT Reflection This school year, I learned a lot in our ICT class is not just about computers, but also about patience, teamwork, and trying my best. From learning about how the internet started, to helping with Nutrition Month, and even making my own blog, it was a fun and sometimes challenging experience. One topic I really found interesting was the history of the internet. Before, I thought the internet had just always been there. But I learned it actually started way back in the late 1960s with something called ARPANET, which was used by researchers to share information. Then in the 1980s, email and domain names were added, making it easier to talk online. In the 1990s, Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web, which made websites and browsers possible. After that, the internet grew fast and now we have social media, smartphones, cloud storage, and Web 3.0. Learning all this made me realize how far technology has come and how much we use it e...
