Today was the resume of our classes. I decided to be productive as much as I could be since it was a brand new week and I fully optimized our wellness break so it is the time to be back on the track.

We had a morning class at 11am. I decided to participate on the discussion because the topic was indeed an interesting one. After I engaged on the discussion, I somehow felt amused with the feeling I have inside. It was like there was a personal reward that I received because of what I did on the class.

What I've realized in this particular day was the benefits of getting students to participate in class discussion, especially in this new type of set-up in learning where all of us are registered in the virtual setting.

Participation is indeed a key ingredient in the learning process. When we students participate, we also learn from each other and internalize the knowledge better.

Today was a big day, not just for me but all of us in the class. Because this particular day was the scheduled date of our Midterm Exams on one of our major subjects. 

I have been busy preparing for this. I cannot stress how important this was. So I did my best effort to review countless times all the necessary information, ideas and concepts that were part of the scope of our exam.

Fast forward after I successfully finished our exam by clicking the submit button, I was satisfied enough with the all the answers I chose since I really studied well.

I realized also that it is very important to stay positive at all times. Yes, test anxiety is real. But a smart plan, focused studying, and a calm morning are one's best plan of attack to ace an exam.

It was the middle day of the week. We had no synchronous session but I have to attend to a certain webinar that I previously registered last week. It was about aspiring to write a book even if you are not a writer. I was so interested right after I saw the promotional poster on my news feed. So, without no hesitations, I quickly registered to webinar form.  

Ever since I started to this weird but fun fascination with books, I also wanted to be a writer myself. I wanted to experience writing your own product of imagination.

It is very true to follow your passion and never ever be discouraged with all the negativities surrounding you. 

Follow your passions, and success will follow.

Today I decided to do my remaining asynchronous tasks of the week. Most were light and fast to accomplish such as watching videos, writing a reaction paper and some write-ups also.

Right after lunch, as a usual routine, I went to my mother's tapsihan to be an extra helper. There's no particular event that happened this day but I am thankful and I will always be, with all of the blessings I have been receiving.

As I witness, being thankful develops a positive mindset, especially when we practice it everyday. Even waking up every single morning must be considered a blessing since our Lord gave us an another chance to enjoy our lives. 

Appreciation is the joy of seeing the good in something or someone. It requires not taking everything for granted,  it’s about discovering the value in what you already have.
