How I Spent my Christmas vacation

blog #1


Christmas is supposed to be a wonderful time full of love and family, but for me it's just full of sadness. My parents are no longer here, and it makes the holidays feel empty. My siblings are busy with their own families, making new memories, and I understand that, yet it still hurts to be left out. The memories of past Christmases when we were all together, waking up early for presents and having a big meal, now just make me feel the loss more. Sitting alone in this quiet house, the loneliness is almost too much to bear. I try to seem okay on the outside, but inside my heart is broken. I know that Christmas will never be the same without my parents, and I have to live with that every year.


This Christmas, I wanted to do something different. So I called my friends and we spent the day doing fireworks and going out. The fireworks were amazing, lighting up the sky in different colors. It was a moment of pure joy and it lifted up my spirits. We walked around town looking at the Christmas lights and decorations, chatting and laughing. It was nice to be with friends and feel that I belonged somewhere. I forgot my sadness for a while, and just enjoyed the moment.

But when I returned to my empty house, reality hit me again. The memories of the day with my friends were a bittersweet comfort, but they could not replace the love and warmth of my parents. I know I will always carry the pain of their loss, especially during the holidays. Though, I will always be searching to create some other memories and see some good in the future though it won't be the same as before.

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. ...
