LIVE LIFE IN WARM YELLOWS

Hi! I will be describing myself as a student and a 14-year old teen. I am Dennard Eddriane R. Rutab. I was born in November 18, 2006. I was raised at San Sebastian, San Vicente, Ilocos Sur. Currently studying at Ilocos Sur National High School as a Grade 10 student, and this is me…

 

I am a son of Mr. Dennis Rutab and Mrs. Nancy Rutab. I have 3 siblings and I am the oldest. When I was still a child, I don’t care what I look and doing things that I love. I was unproblematic and a happy person. Playing outside with my friends makes me very excited. I even get scolded everyday because I was very dirty. Way back when I was still studying at our place, I am joining school activities and contests. I won so many awards and made my parents proud. As I grew older, I got matured and started to realize a lot of things, I started to worry what other people think of me and why I got insecure. The way I look today really matters for me now. Being an introvert person is really hard for me. But now, I am used to it.

 

Over the course of my life, I have been working out to reach the best version of myself. I have dealt with the highest joy and lowest downfall in life. I can recall more failures I had encountered than the victories I got to celebrate. But that only means that I have more lessons and self-improvement, and yet I am still not the best version of me. Not just yet but it is okay. My dreams and aspirations deserve nothing but greater amount of courage, devotion, faith and perseverance. I am yet to outgrow my comfort zone and to see out for a higher form of purpose. In this regard, I am yet to be the best of who I am meant to be.

 

 Right now, we are currently experiencing this global pandemic. Studying while everyone is suffering from viruses, crisis and calamities. And studying alone is harder. It is a decision and we chose this system too so let us all overcome it together. In the past lessons, I am happy and blessed that I am able to learn a lot of things in the subjects. Lessons not just from the subject but through experiences too.

 

Is going back to normal even possible?

 

Being a student during the pandemic is really hard but everyone suffers from Covid-19 not just students. It has impacted so many aspects of our lives. Globally, everything has stopped. Projects have been delayed, workplaces closed and school’s shutdown. Like many other students, I was severely affected by the closing of schools due the growing pandemic. However, we, students continue education through online learning and via video calls with their teachers and modular learning modality for public schools. The decision for us to study through modules is currently the best alternative to protect and keep everyone safe and to be fair for those who work in this time of pandemic.

 

I’ve been through a lot, and I am sure there will be more challenges in the future. I am so glad that I took advantage of the home quarantine to shift my perspective in life and appreciate the little things. Everyone is different, there’s no reason to be self-conscious about your appearance. Select the appropriate individuals. And finally, set some goals for yourself and be sure to achieve them no matter what it takes.
