Appreciating small progress✨


    School life has got to be the most memorable yet frustrating and exhausting part of every teenager's life, from making amazing friends, to losing friends you thought would stay in your life forever, to going through some really tough times keeping up with your grades or assignments, school life has taught us that things take a turn for the worse but also for the best, and all we can do is hope to keep our sanity by the end of it!
 
    One important lesson I've learned at scbool, is that not everything has to be about your grades and that we can live a happy and successful life even if we don't get straight A's , which I think not many understand these days. Now don't get me wrong, getting A's is great,but it's time to start appreciating kids that put in all their efforts just to end up with a C and a demotivating comment from a teacher leaving them feeling hopeless.

 You never know when your life takes a turn for the best. Just because some people take more time than others, doesn't mean they're incapable, everyone works on their own time and that's totally okay.
Always remember, there's a difference between being smart and getting good grades.

  The point I really want to emphasize on, is that there are always gonna be people who're smarter than you, have more friends than you or seem to have cooler clothes than you, but that in no way makes you less capable or less important than them! You're your own person and that's what makes you different and unique!

  I wanna share a small story in this post, I basically never liked physics, always dreaded it...I still dread it and because I simply don't have any interest , I never did well and almost always hoped to  "just pass"in my exam,  so during my ASlevel mock exams, my teacher asked me if I was sure about giving my finals in May, because she thought I wasn't ready and wouldn't do well, but I still gave the exam in hopes of doing better but as you'd expect..I din't,  but I din't let that get to me and kept trying my best because I knew, it would eventually get better and my hard work would someday pay off.

  So long story short, A2 started and november exams rolled by with a blink of an eye and again, I did all I could to bring my grade up, and to my surprise...and my teacher's haha, I got a good grade and this is just an example of how hard work pays off even if it takes years to show. I mean the last time I did well in physics was I think 3years ago!

  My point being, I wish more of us start congratulating ourselves on the small progress we make, no matter how small it is, it's always better than no progress at all right? Let's appreciate our hard work and be our own inspiration, it's going to change your life in ways you never thought was possible.

Getting to know me!✨

  Hey, this is my very first blog post and the last time I felt this much pressure was probably during my Alevel board exams!   So to begin with I would love to introduce myself, I'm a regular 17year old who wants to stay anonymous for the time being. I'm in my last year of Alevels so that means alot of big changes are coming my way! The thought of graduating actually feels unreal. I still remember the time I used to look at all the seniors graduating and think to myself "it's probably gonna take ages to get there and it looks like so much work" but now here I am graduating in just a few months! Time flies when you're busy worrying about why time isn't flying fast enough haha!  I also love being sorrounded by nature! I can't begin to tell you how many times I've stopped the most important work I'm doing just to stare at fluffy clouds and pretty sunsets!  I feel nature really connects humans to the beautiful big world we live in and sets ...

A "not so inspiring" blog post!

  So I've had some trouble thinking of topics to blog about and I thought why not talk about exactly that. When I first started writing, I had this idea in my head that the posts I write should always have an aim and should always be up to the level but as the days passed I realized it's not always going to be that way.   Blogging shouldn't always have to be focused on talking about topics that need to be heard by the majority. Honestly, sometimes it can be as simple as  "How my day was" or " How I completed a task that I didn't feel like completing". In my opinion, blogging is basically journalling that's open to the public. Don't you think?    We express our emotions by simply talking about them and receive feedback that usually goes something like "I can totally relate to this" which is what motivates me to continue writing! There's something therapeutic about writing, even if it's the most random of topics. I never ...

The right time.

  Back in September, I met my neighbors for the first time, and instantly felt a connection with them! I remember it was a warm Wednesday afternoon when a few ladies from my neighborhood came over at our place for tea.   I had school that morning and still remember how I wasn't too thrilled about meeting them because of the crazy amount of schoolwork I had to complete. Also, the fact that I was sleep deprived didn't help either.   However, I'm glad my neighbors came over because I met 2 girls who're around my age and let's just say we became good friends by the end of the gathering. That was the beginning of our most regular and spontaneous hangouts.   The point of this short story is that good things happen when we least expect it but certainly need the most. We might think that the situation we're facing isn't for the better or maybe isn't happening at the right time but in reality, everything that happens to us happens for a reason and the timi...
