GOODBYE, SECOND QUARTER! HEY, THIRD QUARTER!

Time moves rapidly. Second quarter was almost over and third quarter is fast approaching. Would you dare to have a flashback with me on the noteworthy moments during the second quarter? Well, listen attentively or I should say, read carefully because I’ll turn your sense organs upside down.

Oh, yes! This quarter really made me feel/seem weary. Perpetually, I was out during our ICT classes because of the Sabayang Pagbigkas in celebration of the Solidarity Week and so with the activities of the Youth for Environment in Schools Organization (YES-O). You know, it was not that easy to cope up with my missed lessons yet I was quite overwhelmed because of the fact that I have learned so many lessons. With this hectic schoolwork, I have developed my leadership skills, being the YES-O President. And as a student, I have come to ponder on how to be more responsible furthermore, on how to manage my time wisely.

I guess, this is now the right time to bid goodbye on my second quarter memories but surely, I’ll cherish these always. In relation to this, I am looking forward for a more fortunate quarter to come. Goodbye, Second Quarter! Hey, Third Quarter!
