I Made my Mom more Proud.

I also said in my past article (**My 'New Normal' Education****)** that the education system that exists today in the Philippines is not very good. I will admit, the education system that is spreading in the Philippines today is not very effective in terms of the learning. https://read.cash/@Maestro02/my-new-normal-education-30c296be However, a student can still learn if they study it but face to face classes are really different. As a student I feel like I'm just studying to pass the requirements and **not to learn**. My aunt is a teacher and she also admitted to me that the education system we have today can no longer be called ***"quality education"*** which is the cause of the pandemic we are experiencing. Despite of the education system and mode of learning we have in the Philippines, I still try to learn and study because I don't want to be left. Of course the main reason for this is to help my family and fulfill my dreams. *The Run Through.* My **1st quarter** of being a **grade 12** student was difficult because it took place with modular distance learning. I struggled because I only serve modules as a teacher and **not a** **real teacher**. It was also difficult for me when the quarter was just starting because the amount of work that I had to be done is too heavy. Luckily I finished the 1st quarter and even got the **"With Honors"** award.

My mom was happy because I also retained my **‘Top 3’** title in our class. Actually, I am no longer aspiring because almost all of my colleagues in **‘Top’** are also not very active in their studies because it is no longer the same as before. But thank god I passed and I still retained my title. **THE NEW JOURNEY**. We can call the second quarter as **'The New Journey'** because it is the last quarter of the First semester and this is also where the new challenges will enter. The second quarter was more difficult for me because I did more performance tasks, we answered more module activities and also more presentations we finished. But by the end of the second quarter I was relieved because we had a one-week break because of the holy week. I was also nervous for a month because our grades also took a month in the second quarter because of the **COVID-19 restrictions** that took place. **20th of April, 2021**. This is the day of retrieval and distribution of our modules and LASs for quarter 3 of the 2nd semester and this is also the day of our **report card retrieval.** I was nervous at first because I thought my grade dropped especially in **"Media Information Literacy"** because of the many performance tasks I did there.

When my mother entered our door she said to me that **"Hey Son, you got with Honors!"** but I didn't believe it because she wasn't very serious about what she said. But when I saw the Certificate and report card in the envelope that my mother took from our school, I just screamed at what I saw.

I saw that my grades went up even more. I also saw that I became **“With High Honors”** as well. I didn’t actually expect to get with high honors in the second quarter but I got it and finally I was able to say that; ***"I MADE MY MOTHER PROUD AGAIN"*** Actually, I didn't experience any pressure in my studies because my mother didn't put pressure on me. She always said that I should just improve my education and not neglect my health but I never heard the word **"you should be like this"**, **"you should always be on top".** I also don’t expect too much of myself but I see the ability in myself so I must keep it up. As I always say, **I do it all for my family, my mom and for my dreams.** ***"I will never get tired of dreaming until someone believes and supports me. I will also not give up on my dreams to make up for the hardships of my parents.*** ***Lubos ang aking kagalakan, Sa ama lahat ng kapurihan"***
