 Journal Week 5

Thank you, Lord for surviving this week!

I felt so light and the feeling of "nabunutan ng tinik" because our thesis was DEFENDED <3

After all the sleepless nights, stress, and anxiety- it was all worth it. I remember a quote that I always keep in mind, "there is no shortcut to any place worth going".

    I couldn't agree more about the quotation. It seems like if you have a goal plus you are motivated to reach that goal, you will reach the place where you wanted to be, which for me was to successfully defend our thesis and we did it. Moreover, according to the theory of success by Jesse Henry, you must possess opportunity recognition – the ability to see solutions where others see only problems.

I can say that we succeeded because even though we encountered so much problems, we still manage to defend our thesis very well and passed it.
