It was nerve-racking, yet full of valuable insights. A summary of my first quarter experience in the 2024-2025 school year. During that period, I discovered that flexibility and time management were the most essential aspects in ensuring a successful school year. Those skills are extremely helpful, especially since I'm involved in extracurricular activities; they're also handy in the face of unforeseen circumstances. In addition, I've learned the importance of adapting to changing situations and avoiding procrastination. Without procrastination, I believe there is much more I could accomplish. Reflecting on these, I can better understand where I should focus and improve in the next quarters.
Of course, there are challenges at this time. I've struggled to balance priorities and manage my time effectively. Because I am currently a member of a club in our school, I have been given additional responsibilities. Being in a club is enjoyable, yet there were times when my responsibilities conflicted. There was a moment when I needed to contribute to a group activity but also needed to help in the work of our club. It was quite overwhelming, and I was in a dilemma—torn between which to prioritize first. Certainly, it caused stress and pressure.
On the other hand, I have employed solutions that, I think, worked well. I created a task list with allocated time for each task, putting the most critical first. Although I was having difficulty with time management, I used my time effectively to contribute back when I had a conflicting responsibility. To lessen stress, I tried to be as positive as I could by surrounding myself with people I enjoy being with. I also read articles frequently that could change and enlighten my outlook.
Moving on, I will continue to prioritize development, with a focus on time management and flexibility. By reflecting, I discovered which actions I should continue and which to avoid. There's still more time to go. I aim to seek improvement and opportunities that are beneficial. With all of what I learned, I can achieve positive outcomes that would lead to success. As I navigate through the obstacles and triumphs of the school year, may the knowledge gained pave the way to a future filled with growth and accomplishment.
