It gives me consolation knowing that we can play a part in making this school year worthwhile and memorable for our classmates or helping them get through difficult times.]]> 2020-12-04 06:14:06 UTC https://padlet.com/princesspelipel1/5dqswlgbkmo1zpyp/wish/986747602 princesspelipel1 https://padlet.com/princesspelipel1/5dqswlgbkmo1zpyp/wish/986752641 I enjoy engaging in meaningful conversations with my friends regarding our own lives and our futures. We call on each other whenever we feel unwell or down and we sometimes share our troubles in hopes that we'd feel better. Long and late night conversations with my friends help me feel less alone and give me a reason to look forward to better times.]]> 2020-12-04 06:18:33 UTC https://padlet.com/princesspelipel1/5dqswlgbkmo1zpyp/wish/986752641 princesspelipel1 https://padlet.com/princesspelipel1/5dqswlgbkmo1zpyp/wish/986757142 I have trainings with my Track and Field team twice a week and these few hours spent to take care of myself and my health make me feel productive regardless of having to take time away from doing schoolwork. Doing physical activity helps clear my mind and brings happy endorphins that put me in a happier state of mind throughout the day.]]> 2020-12-04 06:22:12 UTC https://padlet.com/princesspelipel1/5dqswlgbkmo1zpyp/wish/986757142 princesspelipel1 https://padlet.com/princesspelipel1/5dqswlgbkmo1zpyp/wish/986762028 I live away from some of my siblings, so I sometimes leave my home to visit them or celebrate special events with them like birthdays. These moments give me consolation because I feel less restricted within the same four walls of my home and I get to see different faces every now and then. Seeing guards or neighbors from there reminds me that there's still a world outside waiting for me once all of this is over. It gives me something to look forward to. Passing by Ateneo and the places I used to always go to reminds me of good days.]]> 2020-12-04 06:26:38 UTC https://padlet.com/princesspelipel1/5dqswlgbkmo1zpyp/wish/986762028 princesspelipel1 https://padlet.com/princesspelipel1/5dqswlgbkmo1zpyp/wish/986776032 2020-12-04 06:38:55 UTC https://padlet.com/princesspelipel1/5dqswlgbkmo1zpyp/wish/986776032 princesspelipel1 https://padlet.com/princesspelipel1/5dqswlgbkmo1zpyp/wish/986777029 Although visiting my family in other homes gives me consolation, it also reminds me of the negative environment we have at home that led to us having to live separately. ]]> 2020-12-04 06:39:42 UTC https://padlet.com/princesspelipel1/5dqswlgbkmo1zpyp/wish/986777029 princesspelipel1 https://padlet.com/princesspelipel1/5dqswlgbkmo1zpyp/wish/986779546 I have been unmotivated recently because of the online setup and having to finish tasks tire me out and frustrate me easily. I feel that having to fulfill school responsibilities sometimes hinder me from taking care of my well-being.]]> 2020-12-04 06:41:52 UTC https://padlet.com/princesspelipel1/5dqswlgbkmo1zpyp/wish/986779546 princesspelipel1 https://padlet.com/princesspelipel1/5dqswlgbkmo1zpyp/wish/986782958 Having to celebrate my birthday without my friends or celebrate theirs apart from each other saddens me. Many events and plans of mine that I have looked forward to since last year have also been canceled, like concerts and vacations. I hoped for these to have brought me wonderful memories, but instead, I am forced to spend almost the whole year by myself and that has made me regretful and sad thinking about what could have been.]]> 2020-12-04 06:44:45 UTC https://padlet.com/princesspelipel1/5dqswlgbkmo1zpyp/wish/986782958 princesspelipel1 https://padlet.com/princesspelipel1/5dqswlgbkmo1zpyp/wish/986792315 2020-12-04 06:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/princesspelipel1/5dqswlgbkmo1zpyp/wish/986792315 princesspelipel1 https://padlet.com/princesspelipel1/5dqswlgbkmo1zpyp/wish/986792756 I'm happy to say that, despite these experiences of desolation, I still find myself hopeful and yearning for the day that God blesses us with a life that is no longer filled with moments of despair and isolation. I still have faith that, if anyone can bring us back to how we used to be, it's Him. I'm currently working through the difficult present, in order to have a future that's worth looking forward to. Although I'm exhausted and unmotivated, I'm still hopeful.]]> 2020-12-04 06:52:41 UTC https://padlet.com/princesspelipel1/5dqswlgbkmo1zpyp/wish/986792756 princesspelipel1 https://padlet.com/princesspelipel1/5dqswlgbkmo1zpyp/wish/986810372 2020-12-04 07:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/princesspelipel1/5dqswlgbkmo1zpyp/wish/986810372 princesspelipel1 https://padlet.com/princesspelipel1/5dqswlgbkmo1zpyp/wish/986812263 Almighty Father, I thank you for the opportunities for growth that you have given me in this year. I thank you for the moments that I have been in despair, but you have brought me up from these through the people and blessings in my life. I thank you for keeping me going. Forgive me for veering further away from you in times when I lose hope. I ask that you give me the patience and will to get through the rest of the year. Bless me with the knowledge and wisdom that your plans are always greater than mine. Amen.]]> 2020-12-04 07:09:25 UTC https://padlet.com/princesspelipel1/5dqswlgbkmo1zpyp/wish/986812263
