The Rain, A Reflection of Myself

Droplets falling, and falling. It is the rain that has been fascinating me due to its rhythmical sounds on the roof and soothing melody by soil downed out of the ground, as the smell lingers through the air. But on a much more profound level, though, the importance that the rain holds for me is that it mirrors who I am inside. It represents my feelings that is spilling over with thoughts and emotions.



Just like the rain keeps falling from up abov
e, so are the thoughts and emotions sometimes overwhelming inside me. At times, one does not know just how the rain is going to be, and just like that, confusion knocks on the door, and it can get out of hand. For a moment, the bright sunshine might come out, and before you know it, dark clouds gather and unleash their wrath. There, the same goes for my mood, it behaves just like that, smooth one moment, then starts to grow turbulent, and at that very moment, I get lost, and things happening around me make no sense.

The ability to regenerate and purify with rain in some way has something to do with the necessity of reflection on myself and growth. With the rain, I look at washing away the impurities in the world as the very reason I try to wash away negative thoughts and feelings dwelling within me. Remember, there are bad days and good, but every experience, whether it's pain or something more, allows for growth, for transformation, just like the cycle of the rain, where it falls, how it flows, and blends once again with the air.



And it reminds me so much of conscience whispers, because the sound which often accompanies the raindrops upon my roof warns me to slow down, reflect, and listen to that inner voice. I find my comfort and my refuge within stillness of the rain, even a sense of being connected to something far larger than myself. It is not just on the physical side but touching the emotions, even the soul, reminding me of the beauty of life.

I see the rain reflecting my own vulnerabilities and resilience. And with the rain so am I, gentle and fierce. Standing by the window, staring at how the raindrops are falling, I am reminded of its beauty and wonder. It's a good piece that reflects my inner self, bringing emotions, thoughts, and experiences to life, its presence reminds me of something much bigger than myself in this world ,the universe rather, that every experience, no matter how difficult it is, offers an opportunity for growth and transformation.

Stepping Stones

Balancing academic and social life during this quarter. I have received helpful knowledge and skills that noted points about management and the importance of prioritization made me aware of needing time for everything, and this has been helpful in managing all my responsibilities. Many techniques on staying on track, such as using to-do lists and self-set deadlines, were learned and implemented. It improved my academic performance and enhanced my confidence and self-discipline.                                        Source However, there were various challenges throughout the quarter. For example, I found myself in many kinds of problems, especially when multiple projects and requirements were about to be due simultaneously. It made me feel lost in confusion, frustration, and anxiety. There were even times when I almost wanted to give up, but my emotions did not beat that inside me. To counter these problems, I established a system of time and task management. I first started a to-do l

World of Wonders (THEMATIC)

 June the month of environment, a month-long celebration reminding us about the pressing need to resolve environmental problems we face, from climate change and pollution to deforestation and loss of biodiversity. It challenges us to reflect on our responsibilities toward the environment and to undertake steps to reduce our ecological footprint. It makes us work toward a better future for us and for generations to come. Certain things could initially appear little and straightforward, but when we gather all of these little parts and put them all together, they might become something larger. For example, unplugging appliances when they are not in use, by doing this simple thing we can conserve and save electricity.  Another way I contributed to the environment is of course planting. Planting helps not only us humans, but also animals. Plants have many benifits, such as it serves as a shade for a hot day, it gives fresh air that clears out bad gasses, etc.  Third, by choosing to walk in
