Thematic Q2

This quarter taught me much about handling pressure, whether in school or sports. I learned that planning my time really helps me balance everything. It also showed me how important it is to stay positive and focused, even when things are tough. That's helped me feel more confident, whether I'm studying or playing.

The biggest problem was the pressure from both school and sports. It seemed like a lot to handle sometimes lots of homework and tough practices. I sometimes doubted myself, especially before big tests or games. All that pressure made it hard to do my best in both areas. 

To cope with this, I started using a planner for everything. This ensured that I had enough time for both study and practice. I learned to breathe deep and think of success while in tests and games as ways to keep my nerves calm. Talking to my friends and coaches really helped when I was feeling stressful, as they gave me support and advice.

I will continue improving my time management skills. I will set realistic goals in school and sports. I will continue to practice the relaxation techniques. Most importantly, I'll learn it's okay to ask for help and to celebrate all my wins, big or small.
