Hi everyone good evening! Yes, I just came back to my weekly journal because my week seems so busy and this time is my only chance to express my feelings to you in a week that I attended my class so far.

 I could say that “Yes! I got a great week this time but it seems so challenging at the point that I’m force to immerse myself on the thing which I don’t used to do and because it’s a requirement, I got no choice but to perform. Okay not to spoil you of how I went through my week, but keep in touch because I’m about to begin my story.

Last Monday, a feeling of passiveness strikes me since we just done taking the examination for the 4th quarter. Expecting that oh! We’re relaxed already and may tackle a bit for an overview of another lesson. But it was just an expectation, though we’re not having a class at the first period but next to it was indeed our teacher who’s fond of surprises in his class and expecting his students to cope up with his teaching strategy. Nerve-wracking isn’t it? What if, he established a surprise long quiz and none of us knew or aren’t ready? Then that “what if” turns to “yes it was” he really gives a long quiz covering from the beginning of his discussion until the last and if I was not mistaken, more or less, we had tackled 10 topics. It’s so scary right? And the type of his quiz was identification and enumeration where one should have enough knowledge about all the lessons to get rid of the quiz. With regards to that, I was fortunate enough that I was gifted as being observant just hearing the words of a school mate next to us where the teacher in-charge to us that moment, established a long quiz to them and that gives me a chance to scan a little while before he came in and atlas I still made my best aiming a score of one point lesser out of the items. And for me, that’s enough already since there’s nothing perfect aside from Above.

Another day, the schedule for our digital poster for the promotion of our strand bother me much most especially that I have a very little skill in editing when it comes to online. I just tried my very best to meet the very deadline of that performance task and knowing that it needs an approval to our ICT teacher before posting it on facebook, I did my part as well. Though there may be a little correction but at last, I made it and received an approval for posting (feeling blessed at that moment).

Another fresh performance we did is the aquatic lesson yesterday. I got nervous and full of fear especially that we are about to perform some survival techniques in a long time stay in the water. Honestly, I don’t know how to swim. Those even the simplest swimming style that what so they called “dog paddle” and “elementary backstroke” those were nightmares in me. I don’t really know how to perform it and even I tried so hard, I only get a muscle pain. But then, we had passed that station by the way and proceeded to the different kick style like the dolphin, flutter and the frog kick which I were able to perform anyway. The last part will be the execution of compact jump at 16 ft. deep water and a war-like feeling inside my chest where my heart continues to pump was inevitable. Good thing was that, we’re granted a life jacket, helping us to float anyway even though it was deep.

A lot of survival techniques were taught upon us and every experience in a very cold water that caused tremble to one’s body, gives value and a sense of worthiness which one can apply in a real life situation that even storms and flood might come, will always make anyone ready for he/she was equipped with the knowledge imparted by the teacher.

 

I hope guys that my weekly journal continue to inspire you and gives you knowledge and guidance that somehow you may apply also upon yourselves when the same situation will be encountered.

………Stay tuned and expect for another week journal after this…….
