We are now at the first term of our journey. Terms and exams would never be easy for me, and for everyone who also has this kind of journey, especially in this type of learning. Our progress as of now is relatable to a plant; I can say that as I was entering and strolling through this learning, more knowledge about things is being perceived by mine.
One of the things that added spice to my first-term journey was the Psychology subject we have. I may say that it was the prerequisite of the stress and anxiety I have experienced these past few months. It teaches me a lot, especially, in knowing myself more by the different perspectives it administered; the philosophical perspective, the sociological perspective, the philosophical perspective, and the anthropological perspective which turning me into another version of myself. These factors are interesting for me because I believe that learning these perspectives can benefit us through applying them to our daily workloads and lives.
Another thing was my ability in writing essays; I can feel that I somehow improved in sharing and stating information about my experiences and facts that I have learned, maybe because of the influence of my subjects as well. As we all know, I am currently taking an education course which has a major in culture and arts. It greatly affects me positively in a way where I improved myself more in many perspectives I was weak before. Well, our professors said that we're doing all of these not for ourselves and for our future, but also for the students who are waiting for us to give them the knowledge we adapt from our experiences. It was so inspiring to speculate, yet tiring to do.
However, I still consider myself weak in writing, understanding, learning, and fighting; We have had a lot of challenges these past few days and still now, and I can say that I still have that mood that I can't think of any answer that I can relate to the topic it wants me to provide if many things pop up from my Gmail, in short, I was easily get distracted from things I get worried. I don't know if my reason was valid but I won't let my progress be gone to anything that was not on my agenda. We had faced a lot of essays these past few days and still by now, and I can say that I still have that feeling that I can't think of any response that I can associate to the topic it requires me to furnish if various things occur simultaneously.
Thus, the main goal is to survive. This is also what our professor has said lately, she wants us to have more patience, love, passion, and breath in what we are doing right now for us to be a survivor in our journeyβbe a kind student-teacher.
Lastly, my social self. I can see the progress in socializing and creating conversations with others. I may say that I am less introverted now than before because of the circle of friends I have right now. They felt me the experience of having an open conversation that anyone could ever wish for. They give me the ability to open a conversation without feeling any bad emotions. They are one of the best things I have right now in my journey.
I do experience sudden anxiety but not just like before, I can standstill with a moving body with a goal. It was good to know that improvement correlated with my journey. May more improvement come our way. May more patience attain our quest.
