Starting of the school year after years of quarantine has been really nerve wrecking. The people, papers, boards, its all been a long time since i’ve interacted or held any of these. There is a sense of a new world or perhaps, a new planet. People are excited, anxious and relieved at all the same time.
What was thought to be a 2 week break in 2020 turned out to be almost a three year break. By then i had just started my IGCSEs and now i’m doing my a-level course. Although i have lived through those days, it feels as if I’ve just time travelled to the future. My memories are a blur, i sometimes cant even tell if some if them were real or just dreams. Despite that i’m glad to just have gone through that experience of being alone. Its not easy but it has taught me a bit about myself and how often it is nice to just spend time with yourself.
Joining a new school has been really exciting for me. As someone who’s always moving around it really fascinates me how so different yet similar every school is. Each new school would always make me feel nostalgic of my old one, and the cycle continues. However, this school has really taught me how to be independent of my studies. It has taught me that i can trust my teachers. It has taught me how to love learning. I used to dread of going to school but after taking that for granted and coming back, it feels like home once again and Im grateful.
Ms. Disas’ AEP
Ms. Disas’ classes have taught me that i can have fun while learning. Her lessons have really taught me teamwork as well as independent work. We started of with political words which is really useful for our history lessons as we get to explain and understand better of the topics we go through. Young people problem were a little more personal to us. Its nice to be able to express yourself in this class. I think after her classes, the students and i have been getting far more closer than we used too. Its a nice bonding session, to reconnect with people ones more.
Im really excited to talk about the other various topics we have in line and learn more about my classmates. Perhaps, we have something in common. Perhaps we have disagreements. Either way its a good form of learning more about the people you study with.
Learning to Love Learning
I used to struggle with studies during my igcses, keeping up with work, homework and well as actually taking interest with the things i study about. It used to be hard and tedious to sit down and watch the teacher ramble on fir hours about a certain topic, it was honestly painful. However i learnt that to study something, you must take interest in the subject in question, which is why I’ve decided to take humss. I struggled with picking a strand as stem is seen to be the more stable choice of work line however, as my mom told me “you’re happiness is worth more than money” ive come to know that although people may be earning millions, if they don’t like the job they would eventually leave. When you actually take interest in a subject it makes learning more easy to listen. Ms Disas classes have taught me how to love my subjects as we slowly touch in the topics that i will learn in my core subjects.
Thank you for listening to my rant :)).
