ASHS MATH ORG

Becoming the Org Head of the Math Org this school year was very fulfilling as I had an opportunity to share my knowledge and experiences with my fellow org members. Preparing and organizing new activities makes me more excited and motivated in online learning. Reading the insights and reflections of my org members help me to gain new insights and inspiration to Mathematics as well.

STAYING AT HOME THIS QUARANTINE

Staying at home this quarantine, especially during the early phase of this pandemic, made me feel disconnected from other people - cousins (extended family), peers, classmates, schoolmates, etc. I felt a piece of me break off because talking, interacting and bonding with other people was one way I relieved my stress - but now that it's being taken away, I felt "alone".

SPENDING TIME WITH FAMILY

My family and I, even though we are all busy with work, try to always allot time on Friday night and weekends to bond with each other this pandemic. We chat with one another, attend mass, and watch Netflix together. This alleviates my stress, and makes me feel happy because I feel God's presence in my family.

CETs APPLICATIONS

Registering in different schools, filling up the information and thinking deeply about my course choices and application essay drained out a lot of energy from me. I felt stressed and demotivated to do school work. It cut short the time I spend with my family and friends.

SPENDING TIME WITH MY DOG

My dog's name is Euclid. I love him playing around with him every day for around 5 - 10 minutes because this helps to put aside my stress and workload from school and other matters. It brings me more happiness and joy especially whenever I spend time with it.

FAKE NEWS AND LIES

Seeing fake news and lies circulating online makes me lose hope in the capability of the government to respond to the needs of the people. It just disheartens me and makes me annoyed at times, especially when government officials insult others who are serving and doing good to others.

Dear Lord,

Thank you for always being kind, patient and understanding to me, especially during this pandemic. Thank you for giving me a family to lean on to make me feel happy and relieve myself from stress. I hope that you will give me strength in these trying times to overcome my negative emotions and thoughts, and guide me to discovering Your will.

Amen.

Am I moving closer to God?
Am I moving away from God?

I think I am moving closer to God now that I have adapted to the new normal of this pandemic. I feel contented and thankful for all the blessings that I have, and even if there are negative emotions at certain times, I never let them get the hold of me.
