BANYUHAY: Robellro Bartolome (More Developed Version)


During the new normal learning that I and my fellow classmates experienced due to the pandemic, there were multiple obstacles and challenges that we had to endure and face; and most of the time, we all struggled throughout the process of learning and were exhausted by how the tasks were overwhelming to us and our mental health. This year not only became a burden for students, teachers, and parents but it also made learning and studying more complicated and difficult. This kind of learning and this kind of set-up is not and will never be effective to make students retain knowledge for it is exhausting, and overall inhumane. It has been a rough year for all of us, and I am proud that we are nearly at the end.

Over the past few weeks, like most students, I learned more about our subject in ICT especially in designing a webpage with the use of Microsoft Frontpage. I was not sure at first what this application is but over the span of the 4th quarter, I learned more about what it is and what it can do.

This quarter, I realized that although we are taught to give our best most of the time, we should not let ourselves get to the point where we would be tired and unmotivated all the time. I learned how it is not helpful for you and your general well-being if you gave your 100% every day or every task because at the end, you will be burned out and you will be exhausted. We must learn how and when are the right times to peak and give our best.

I also realized how we should not let ourselves be super focused on studying or working all the time, we should learn how to give our body a break or even reward ourselves with hobbies or with anything that we find desirable to do or to have; and continue to fight afterwards. Remember that in order for the bread to rise, it needs to have a rest.

 I am in no way glorifying nor romanticizing the pandemic because millions of people have lost to the battle of COVID-19, but I thank the time that this pandemic has given me to reassure myself, reevaluate my past actions, and overall rethink my life and my decisions because as a teenager who is unsure of their future, I really needed that time to reflect. I can really say that this pandemic birthed a new version of myself, and I am proud of it.

I am nearing the end of my junior high school journey and with that, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the following for their contributions to different aspects of my life so that I can finish my junior high school with flying colors:

  • To my family, thank you for the undying support that you had bestowed upon me. Your love has made me motivated throughout the years that is why I was able to accomplish the tasks that I thought were impossible to reach 
  • To my classmates, thank you for being a part of my high school journey and I hope we would all achieve what we want to achieve in the future.
  • To my teachers, thank you for the wisdom and the teachings. I will never forget all your lessons and will continue to carry them all throughout my life.
  • To my SMC family, thank you for the continuous guidance. There is a special place for all of you in my heart and I will cherish forever the moments that we have before and during the pandemic
  • To my Alma Mater, Ilocos Sur National High School, thank you for letting me grow and become a better version of myself every day.  

As I close this chapter of my journey, I hope that my story along with the stories of my classmates and colleagues, be an inspiration for the newer batches; and be an instrument of motivation for them to use so that they would also achieve their goals and aspirations in life.

Bilang pagtatapos ng aking huling blog post, gusto ko itong gawing oportunidad at pagkakataon na  ibahagi ang mga sumusunod:

1.       Sa aking mga kakilala na hindi pa nagpaparehistro, magparehistro na para sa bakuna at sa susunod na eleksyon upang magkaroon ng boses, at mabago natin ang bulok at hindi makataong administrasyon ng kasalukuyan nating presidente, at;

2.       Sa aking mga kaklase at kapwa mag-aaral na hahantong sa Senior High, nawa’y mapalawak natin ang ating kaalaman sa mga sumusunod na taon sa iba’t ibang larangan o disiplina at mai-enjoy natin ang ating mga mararanasan.
