2020 was surely not the best year I had, but it sure was the year where one of my ultimate dreams came true. I have always wanted to go to school in Ateneo ever since elementary. During the summer, when I received the acceptance letter, it was one of the happiest I've been in my entire life, and it was all because of God's undying love that He gave me this miracle.

Transferring schools also means expanding your social circle. Despite the distance - from Bohol to Metro Manila - I have made significant connections and friendships with people from the ASHS as well as my classmates, and I will forever treasure it.

Throughout the quarantine, I was able to make amends with those I had hurt and those hurt me as well. I was able to become a better version of myself, discovering that I had talents such as drawing, cooking, and writing. If I had the will to focus on them more, I could become that person - a better version of myself - that God wills me to be.

In the first month of 2020, we had so much planned for the summer. Since we were graduating, we planned graduation trip with my friends, also an out-of-the-country trip with my family. We also had numerous family gathering and reunions that was scheduled for the year. But because of COVID-19 lockdown, everything - I mean everything - was canceled. It made me so sad because I was looking forward to it so much.

During the first months of the school year, I was constantly crying because I was unable to connect well with my classmates. I had little to no friends, which sucked so much at that time. When I had difficulty in a lesson, I had no one to turn to, to ask questions and whatnot. But as the year progressed, I have made friends already, which is a good sign of adaptation to the new environment. :))

Although I wasn't related to them, many of my parents' friends joined already with our Creator. It was very untimely and unexpected, such as their friends' parents or relatives. I could see how it devastated them, and it was one of the low points in this year.
