Q1, MISTAKES AND IMPROVEMENTS

    This quarter, I learned so many things. I discovered things like what is the effective thing to do so that I can focus in studying. I realized that self-studying has been effective for me. Personally, I like studying in a quiet place because I can focus more. Having schedule and having the ability to manage your time wisely is very important. Reading motivational quote is very effective for me too. I made a lot of mistakes and I struggled a lot, but I believe it's all part of the process.

    The challenges I encountered are distractions, poor connection, not being able to manage my time well, and lack of motivation. When the pandemic started I had a hard time adjusting from this mode of learning, It was hard last year until now. I had breakdowns and I couldn't help but to question myself and my ability to do things. The main problem I experienced is lack of sleep, it affected me and my study habits so much. Doing assignments and answering modules are not the only thing I need to do, I have to do household chores like wash the dishes, clean, do the laundry etc.

    I address these problems and challenges by improving and learning from my mistakes last year. I am trying to improve my sleeping schedule. What I do when I'm losing motivation again is I watch videos about my dream and how fun it is doing that job. I read motivational quotes too because I find it effective. Recently, I read this quote “Procrastination makes easy things hard and hard things harder” by Mason Cooley and I totally agree with it because I experienced it myself in the past years.

    Moving on, I will make sure to strive and to reach my dreams. Adjusting from this new normal is hard but I know that one day I will get used to it. I suffered a lot when the pandemic started but I will not let the virus affect and discourage me from reaching my dreams. I may lose motivation again along the way but it's all part of the process. In the future, I'll make my mommy and daddy proud.
