I was enrolled but I thought my email was not working - turns out I misspelled a letter. I emailed my teachers inquiring about my email. I was then notified of my mistake by 9:00 am. I was not ready at all to join the class but I remained composed and continued on.

I got up and took a bath as fast as I could, but it turns out I missed my first class so I had to wait for my second one. I thought that I needed to wear proper clothes because it was still a proper class nonetheless. I wore my Sunday's best attire and prepared my computer's camera for the class. As soon as I entered the class, I was greeted with a warm welcome from my teacher. She was very friendly. ]]> 2020-07-08 02:51:24 UTC https://padlet.com/karcarmelo/fq9hs1yw3ibd7une/wish/649734394 karcarmelo https://padlet.com/karcarmelo/fq9hs1yw3ibd7une/wish/649740165 Today, I was very excited but at he same time anxious of what was to come. I was very frantic and told everyone that I was not to be disturbed, but I realized that it was okay to not show my face on camera. Today was  a very successful day for me - I got to know my teacher, my classmates, and a very shallow understanding of how to operate google classrooms. Talking about google classrooms, I was very confused at first but I started to get the hang of it. Google classrooms is not new to me but it was only introduced for a brief period of time in my last school. 

In the end, I was tired but mostly because of the adrenaline rush and excitement from anticipating class. I have not known everyone yet, and I have not seen my batch mate yet (because he also enrolled in AdDU under Bachelor of Science in Accountancy). Nonetheless, I had fun and it was an overwhelming first experience for me. I look forward for what online classes have in store. As for now, I must do my best, remain calm, and persevere. ]]> 2020-07-08 03:00:26 UTC https://padlet.com/karcarmelo/fq9hs1yw3ibd7une/wish/649740165 karcarmelo https://padlet.com/karcarmelo/fq9hs1yw3ibd7une/wish/649744601 I realized that remaining calm and focused is the best way to face ambiguity. Being cautious in everything that I do will eventually lead to success. My main goal is to not just make many friends but also make my parents proud. I must adjust my personality for the new class, because before I was very outgoing and such. I need to maintain focus and do my best in everything I do. ]]> 2020-07-08 03:08:09 UTC https://padlet.com/karcarmelo/fq9hs1yw3ibd7une/wish/649744601 karcarmelo https://padlet.com/karcarmelo/fq9hs1yw3ibd7une/wish/649747531 Maybe God's plan for me today is teaching me the how to maintain self-control and understand what is to come. Often I would anticipate too much. Thus ending in me disappointed on myself. Maybe God wants me to be more open to new people and new ideas. I realize that I should be more understanding. And I must prepare myself for the future unknown. 

God, thank you for helping me in everything I do. Thank you for teaching me how to be myself. Thank you for helping me understand the value of time. I learned a lot. Thank you for guiding everything I think, say, and do. ]]> 2020-07-08 03:13:14 UTC https://padlet.com/karcarmelo/fq9hs1yw3ibd7une/wish/649747531
