Learning and studying alone is indeed exhausting, especially if the lessons are difficult to understand. Back when we were still in face-to-face classes, we used to love weekends and holidays. We enjoy staying at home for days. Until the unexpected news shocked us while we were preparing to go to school. At first, I was happy that I can finally rest my mind for weeks. However, as time passed by, days became sad, lonely and plain. It was hard to accept that things aren't the way it used to be, people can't go out, malls and other buildings are closed, the cases of Covid-19 keeps increasing. Therefore, we should stay at home and study by ourselves.
On the first day of school, some were unhappy, some were excited. At first, I was excited to study once again. But as soon as the tasks gets harder, it was stressful. I was also distracted by social media, causing me to procrastinate every single week. My mental health is also ruined due to my laziness. It felt like I was just answering my modules just to pass, not to have good grades. However, I was able to get a line of 9 in all of my subjects for the whole school year. The same thing happened when I was in 9th grade but thankfully, I was able to be one of the honors in the class.
After all that I've experienced in studying alone, I learned that we are the ones who could help ourselves. We should always focus on our goals and avoid distractions in order to survive. We shouldn't be a afraid of failure because avoiding failure is the same as avoiding success.
