LD - Quarantine

When quarantine started, and lockdowns we're implemented I became extremely sad due to the fact that I wasn't't able to properly say goodbye to my friends from my old school. It all happened so suddenly and I never got to properly thank them fro everything. :((

Quarantine wasn't all grays and blues though! Due to this, I also found the time to rest and spend more time with my family. Plus, through calls and messages, I was able to catch up with people that I haven't gotten the chance to talk to due to our busy schedules.

As time went by, I started to question a lot of things about myself during quarantine. I started to question things like my worth, my physical appearance, and whatnot. In the long run, quarantine made everyday feel mundane and lonely.

LG - Ateneo Senior High School

When I found out that I got into the Ateneo Senior High School, I was ecstatic! I've always to go to Ateneo, so when I found out that we would be having classes soon, I was extremely giddy. At first it was scary, but ASHS ended up doing so much for me in the long run. So many opportunities opened up for me thanks to this school. <333

LD - Online Set-Up

As happy as I was about the opportunities that the ASHS gave me, I was also really sad about the fact that everything was online. A part of me felt like I was missing out on so much. Moreover, since I wasn't used to the new set-up, it took a while for me to adjust and get used to everything. :((

This school year was definitely far from being "easy". I went through so many ups and downs all throughout. Thankfully though, I met some of the most incredible people in the world. If it weren't for these amazing people, I don't think I would've been able to get through this year. Thank you for the smiles! I love u guys!! :))
