Time flew by so quickly, it hasn’t sunk in that I actually survived 2024.

Hey, Diary! It’s me again! It’s been a couple months since I last wrote to you, it’s just that things have been so hectic. This rollercoaster-like quarter has tested me in so many ways I never knew were possible— PETAs here, assessments there, and groupworks everywhere! I genuinely thought I wouldn’t get past it. But, I did.

I CAME to school on time, prepared to breeze through any quiz or surprise recitation that came my way, because I made sure to read my notes and watch lecture videos. I stood up and continued to bravely walk my chosen path no matter how many times I tripped and CRIED due to the obstacles I faced in life. Most of all, I welcomed every single day with a renewed determination to not let any situation CONQUER me, because I am stronger than any challenge.

If I were to describe these past three months, I’d say it was harsh, demanding, and formidable. But at the same time, it was exhilarating, fulfilling, and inspiring. Amidst the tall walls and dark clouds, were sprouting seedlings and colorful rainbows.

As I welcome the hopeful promises of 2025, I know I’ll continue to grow, explore, and reach my fullest potential. Self, just believe you can and you’re already halfway there! Let’s make it ‘til the end of the school year!

Sincerely,

Pascian 2024-2025
