New challenges equivalent to a new path

During this quarter I experienced a huge shock since I'll be back inside our classroom again after weeks of training in journalism. I expected myself to struggle and that I needed more time to adjust my pace, so that I can keep up with my classmates. That's why when I found out that one of the main topics during this quarter is doing a Community Based Research, whilst also making our own Web Page/Design with it I felt overwhelmed. But I knew that if I spent all of my worrying about how hard the task will be without even doing it, I wouldn't be able to move forward. That's why I tried to do my best to analyse, understand, and most especially to communicate with my peers for lesson recalls and tips in making a web page. Thankfully I was paired with amazing Teammates that helped me overcome my fear of falling behind because I don't know much about coding. They guided me in making some of the parts in our web design. And through our collaboration we were able to create...

Mumbles of each clock

"Tick-tock, tick, tick-tock" With each passing time I seem to keep hearing the sounds of the past mumbling at me. From each tick made from the movement of the clock, it looks to be addressing my past mistakes that I regret more than anything in my life. 11:35 is the time, I'm still awake despite sleeping everyday around 9 o'clock. Before the clock hit 12, I started reflecting on my journeys this year. It seemed that almost everything I did this year, I'm deeply regretting this very minute. For being someone who didn't spend their time wisely, for never spending much time with my friend who transferred, for never socializing with enough people, I seem to regret it all. Whilst reflecting on the things I did this year the clock finally hit 12, the silent environment turned into a party. The empty streets were filled and packed with joy, from kids and people celebrating the new year. The moment I saw their bright smiles was the same time I saw a glimmer ...
