"Good things must come to an end". Sad but true. At one moment you are having "the time of your life", and in a blink of an eye, it's all gone. At one time you are as jolly as a bee, but after a while, you find yourself crawling back to your ordinary life, wishing that that moment could have last for a lifetime.

But that is not how life is entirely. In fact, it turns out to be an amazing and wonderful journey if we make the best of it and live it to the fullest. That's why today, in our last post, before we close our door to this incredible and virtual experience, we would like to reflect back on one of the most wonderful "adventures" of our 6th grade lives- The Blogging Project.
When our Urban Guru announced that the 6th grade was going to have "The Blogging Project" as part of the 4th quarter CEO, everybody had different insights. Some were intrigued on how it was going to be done, some were amused on how it was creatively thought of , and the others, well, had different reactions of their own. But despite the differences, one thing is certain. Because of the intense atmosphere, we could tell that everybody was excited about it and that every soul expected it to be one of a kind. Truly, it was. It was not only unique, but it was also one of the most exciting and the most fun "CEOs" that we had to make. We, also, are very happy that this project was created not just because of the fact that it is very modern, but also because it aimed to make us share our personal insights in a very creative way.
The Blogging Project, aside from its purpose to make the students to openly talk about their personal reflections, is created in such a way that the students will be able to cherish and savor the last few days they have for their 6th grade journey. This is done by having them reminisce and reflect about the moments they had with each other during their adventure in and out of the walls of their Science class.
This very special CEO is one of the things that made a lasting impact in our lives before we bid our 6th grade supplies goodbye. Not only did this project document most of the happiest days of our 6th grade lives, but it also paved way to the development of our creative skills, and more importantly, it opened our eyes to exceed beyond the boundaries and give it our best shot in everything we do.

Since we would always want to produce a great outcome for this blog, we would usually end up being so stressed. Sometimes, inspiration wouldn't come, or worse, we, the Earth Trotters, would have a hard time to cooperate with each other. We sometimes would even end up pressuring each other to pass the write-ups required in order to meet the deadline. Of course, if we did not procrastinate in the first place, then maybe none of us would have carried a lot of weight in our backs. But, despite this, we would always try everything we can in order to deal with the situation. We usually would stay strong and active, that we wouldn't care about how many sleepless nights we need to sacrifice in order to make up for our mistake and in order to produce a well-thought of composition.

In defiance of the hard preparation,we would still consider to do this blogging project all over again. This is because it is a very "fun" thing to do, in spite of all the pressure we had to take, and more importantly, it allowed us to somehow go back to time to savor every single moment we have with the people surrounding us. Also,it allowed us to learn more about our fellow 6th graders and our Urban Guru. Doing this project will help us learn from our mistakes, making us more mature in handling future problems, especially since we are on to the next stage of our adventure-High School.
The way our Urban Guru handled and prepared for this project was something very responsible that it turned out to be almost impeccable. He deliberately discussed the instructions, and also, created things that not only the bloggers can enjoy and look forward to, but also the people outside the Blogging Project. Actually, we only have one tiny suggestion wherein we think that the blogging project can be further improved. We think that the deadlines of the final posts can be either 5 days before or after the Finals so that it will not be in conflict with the other concerns relating the Finals. But other than that, we think that the project is well thought of that almost nothing needs to be changed. (Applause to the Urban Guru!!)
As we now close the door for this adventure, and as we venture to open a new one, we should keep in mind the greatest lessons we learned through this endeavor; 1st, to always prioritize the time given so that you will not end up procrastinating, 2nd, to take care of the environment, for everything in it is a wonderful creation and each plays a specific role that is a big part in biodiversity, and 3rd, have fun in whatever you are tasked to do and give it your all. No matter how hard it may be, just trust in the Hand that guides you, and you will be able to surpass any challenge or storm you might encounter.

Question, there were 5 people in the last image, but you're only 4, ayt? Who's the fifth then? o.O
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, I noticed that when I click on your images, it only enlarges. It seems you hyperlinked the wrong URL. When you hyperlink, go to the actual 'site' where the picture came from and not just the link of the picture. Did you get what I mean?
On the other hand, I am really amazed with your excellent writing skills. I pray that you would be able to nurture this further and use it to glorify Who gave it to you.
