New Year, New Me; New Journey, Old Memory

 As the year draws to a close, I find myself reflecting on the journey that was 2024. A year filled with moments of joy, triumphs, challenges, and self-discovery. It’s incredible how time flies so fast but much we learn a lot in the span of 12 months, and as I recount the lessons this year has taught me, I feel nothing but gratitude. 




One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned this year is to cherish the time spent with family. In the hustle and bustle of life, it’s easy to take these moments for granted. But 2024 has reminded me of the irreplaceable bond I share with my loved ones. The shared meals, the laughter, and even the quiet moments together. These are the memories that truly matters to me, and I intend to nurture them even more in the coming year. This year also deepened my sense of gratitude not just for what I have, but for what’s yet to come. Every answered prayer, every small victory, and even every challenge have shaped me into what I’ve become today. Learning to be thankful, not just in abundance but also in times of uncertainty, has been a grounding force in my life. 2024 wasn’t a year without its hurdles, but each obstacle brought with it a lesson. Challenges, no matter how difficult, are opportunities to grow stronger. They have taught me resiliency, patience, and the importance of leaning on faith when the road ahead feels shaky. These moments of struggle, as hard as they were, reminded me that I am capable of more than I realize. No journey is ever walked alone, and this year, I am incredibly

thankful for the people who have walked with me in my greatest and toughest times. Whether they offered a helping hand, a listening ear, a crying shoulder, or simply shared their presence, they became integral parts of my story. I am reminded that life is enriched by the relationships we cultivate, and I look forward to continuing to nurture these bonds in the years ahead.  Finally, 2024 has been a year of introspection. 2024 is a year where I faced the habits and attitudes that no longer serve me. I’ve resolved to work on my laziness and temper, as well as other traits that hold me back. Growth requires change, and I am committed to becoming a better version of myself in 2025.  


As I close the chapter on 2024, I carry these lessons with me into the new year. I step into 2025 with a heart full of gratitude, a commitment to personal growth, and an unwavering faith that the best is yet to come. Here’s to a new year of opportunities, growth, and cherished moments. May we all continue to learn, evolve, and inspire each other in the journey ahead.

Learning is a choice. Either a peaceful battle or a tough one.

For the second quarter, I discovered more about myself and my classmates, especially in terms of our strengths and the areas where we struggle in school. While I didn’t master time management, I still managed to accomplish my tasks fairly well (or so I believe). I faced challenges in understanding lessons in math and basic electronics, but I found our ICT lessons relatively easy, particularly the activities we completed. So far, ICT has been my best-performing subject, with my highest score yet. After lunch, I often reflect on how much I enjoy attending our ICT class. I not only have fun but also learn new skills, like writing code and using HTML tags. For example: <br> creates a line break, <hr>  inserts a horizontal line, <p>  identifies a paragraph, <u>  underlines text, <i>  italicizes text, <b>  makes text bold, <h1>  creates the largest heading, <strong>  works like  <b>  but emphasi...
