Lessons, Laughter, and Friendship: My Junior High Journey

“Success is not just about getting good grades, but about learning, growing, and making memories along the way.” — Unknown

Hello, dear hivers!! Welcome back to MIYA’s blog!! 💞 Lately, I’ve been missing my junior high school days so much. Those years were filled with ups and downs, from the struggles of modular learning to the fun and unforgettable moments with my classmates. It’s crazy how fast time flies, and now, looking back, I can’t help but feel nostalgic about everything I experienced.

When the pandemic happened, everything changed. I was used to face-to-face classes, where I could interact with my friends and learn properly. But suddenly, we were stuck at home, staring at our modules, trying to understand lessons on our own. It was hard. I almost lost my "With Honors" rank because of how difficult modular learning was for me. There were times when I just wanted to give up, but somehow, I managed to push through. Thankfully, by 8th grade (4th Quarter, face-to-face classes returned, and I was so happy to be back in school again.

Then came 9th grade, and honestly, it was one of the most stressful school years ever. The lessons were harder, the pressure was heavier, and I felt like I was drowning in schoolwork. But despite that, my section made it the best experience. We were known as the "worst section ever" because we were loud, chaotic, and always in trouble, but we also had the best moments together. We laughed, we fought, we stressed over exams together, and we created so many memories that I will never forget. And I am forever grateful to our adviser for not giving up on us and still chose to be with us until the end, I miss you ma’am Chieyah !! ❤️‍🩹

But 10th grade??? That was the best, best, best school year of my life. In my silent days, I miss Einstein so much, my section Einstein, who became my second family. I felt every possible emotion that year, happiness, sadness, anger, even moments of depression! But despite all of that, it was the year where I felt most like myself. I wasn’t afraid to show who I truly was because I was surrounded by people who accepted me. And in that year, I met the most wonderful friends ever, my Winx babies. They were my safe space, my source of happiness, and I’m so grateful to have them in my life. And ofcourse, we wouldn’t be complete without our Grade 10 adviser, ma’am Aileen for making our last year in junior high unforgettable. Your patience, guidance, and belief in us meant so much ma’am. You weren’t just a teacher, you were our mentor and second parent. I’ll always be grateful for everything you’ve done for us, i miss you ma’am !! ❤️‍🩹

Junior high was such an unforgettable experience. It wasn’t just about the grades or the lessons, it was about the friendships, the challenges, and the growth I went through. And during our moving-up ceremony, when I received with honors and multiple awards for being active in different organizations and clubs !! I felt so proud. It was proof of everything I worked hard for, proof that despite all the struggles, I made it.

Looking back, I thank God for guiding me through my junior high journey since day one. He was there through my struggles, my breakdowns, and my victories. Without His guidance, I wouldn’t have made it this far. Now that I’m in senior high, I can’t help but miss those days. But even though junior high is over, the memories will always stay with me. It was an amazing journey, and I will forever be grateful for everything I experienced during those years.

That is all for today’s blog my dear readers! Thank you for being with me today. As I continue this journey, I @miyasomi, look forward to sharing more insights, lessons learned, and perhaps a few more simple joys that make the hard work worthwhile. Until next time, keep pursuing your dreams with determination, and don’t forget to appreciate the beauty in the everyday moments. Bye-bye 💞
