Just like in a race, my journey through Junior High School has been filled with twists, turns, and moments of acceleration. Now, as I write my final reflection, I realized that I’m shifting into my last gear, approaching the finish line of this incredible ride. It makes me sad to think that my JHS days are coming to an end, but I also feel grateful for everything I have learned along the way.
Throughout this quarter, one lesson stood out the most—MS FrontPage. Learning how to design and create my own website felt like gaining a new driving skill, a skill that allowed me to navigate the digital world with confidence. Learning how to design and create my own website was an exciting experience. I had so much fun experimenting with different tools and bringing my ideas to life.
Of course, no race is without its challenges. At first, designing my webpage felt like struggling with a tricky turn—I wasn’t familiar with the tools, and I didn’t know how to use them properly. To make things worse, our computer kept experiencing erros, forcing us to restart it again and again which was delaying our progress. But just like in racing, setbacks don’t mean stopping, they mean finding a way to push forward.
So, I reached out for help. Ma'am Charleen, our practice teacher, guided me through the tools. I also turned to my groupmates for help. And when technical issues slowed us down, Ma'am Evelyn stepped in to assist us, ensuring we had enough time to finish our project.
Now, as I prepare to cross the finish line of Grade 10, I know that this is not the end of the road—it’s just a gear shift toward bigger and greater things. I will continue learning, exploring, and improving. I will also remind myself that asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness, but a way to keep moving forward.
Before the race ends, I want to express my deepest gratitude. Thank you, Ma’am Evelyn, for the lessons, the laughter, and for being like a second mother to us. Thank you, Ma’am Charleen, for your patience and dedication. And to my beloved section, Maxwell—thank you for the support, the fun, and the countless memories we’ve made. This journey will always have a special place in my heart.
As I shift into the next chapter of my life, I will carry these experiences with me, knowing that every challenge is just another turn in the race, and every lesson is fuel for the road ahead.
