Each one of us have our own understanding of beginnings. Some may not consider what others see as beginnings but it will all depend on our perspectives. It could be when you first met a person, a time that changed you or encountering an experience you'll never forget. For me, it all happened during school year 2015.
I always had a goal of being an academic awardee for the entire school year. It was my goal that always felt so hard to attain. It was always so close yet so far every year but school year 2015 was different. It was also the school year that had opened me to new possibilities like being an officer in class as I balance my studies and extra- curricular activities or being a student-athlete. It was the year when I met new friends who I'd never expect that I'd be so close to. A year I'd always want to look back to no matter how hard it was. I could say that those were what I consider my "new beginnings".
I had never been a leader in a class. I guess it was the lack of self- confidence that always made me believe that leadership wasn't meant for me. But as school year 2015 goes, I finally had the courage to go out of my comfort zone. It helped and is helping so much in everything that I am tasked to do. It gave me hope that I should be optimistic and always take the opportunities given to me. I would forever be thankful for the people who believed in me and saw my capabilities even if I, at one time, thought that I wasn't capable.
Another experience is being a student-teacher. I had never imagined myself standing in front of the class and teaching. There, I had realized how difficult it was to teach. I realized that a teacher can't only teach for the sake of it but one must have the passion to inspire. It is something that I will always admire in every passionate and patient teacher that I will encounter or had encountered.
Also, another unforgettable experience is having to meet people who I'd want to share my life with. People who I could trust. They are the people who saw me in my worst and meanest side yet still chooses to stay. I couldn't say that they're just my best friends because for me, they are also family. They helped me through my rough beginnings and also opened and guided me to
new ones.
Those were the new beginnings I'd always treasure. That school year didn't go easy but it was really worth it considering all the experiences that had opened me to greater things. I'm looking forward to continue learning and growing with all the experiences I will be bringing with me as my high school journey goes on and is nearing to an end. And as it does, I would be opened to another new beginning which is hopefully entering the college of my dreams. I hope that people will realize how new beginnings could come in many ways depending on how you look at it and that it may be unexpected and endless.
