My daily routine as a student

I wake up at 5 am every weekday to go to school. I push myself to get up despite feeling extremely sleepy. I quickly take a shower and skip breakfast due to time constraints. Another reason I avoid eating in the morning is because I feel uncomfortable when I'm at school, experiencing a sense of urgency, especially with the nervousness about recitation. Kidding aside, every day, I do my best to understand the lessons, even though I find it challenging because I'm not quick to learn. Sometimes, I wonder why I'm not as smart, but I give my best to cope.

At 12:10, it's time to go home. Sometimes we have practice, and we head straight to Blue Bay without changing. We have lunch there, and it often extends into the evening due to practice. Despite being tired from school and practice, we prefer walking home to Taft because it's more enjoyable than taking transportation. We engage in conversations until we reach our destination, forgetting fatigue, especially when true friends are with you. We just enjoy every day together.

On days without practice, I help in our store even when tired and sleepy. My mom needs me due to a high number of orders for our turon business. I peel bananas and wrap turon, enduring the heat. I genuinely assist my mom, hoping that one day, I'll finish my studies and have a good job so she won't have to work.

After helping my mom, I go home to rest. Later, I return to the store to help my mom repack peanuts. Her endless work provides for our daily expenses, and I am extremely proud of her. Someday, I hope to repay her sacrifices.

After helping, I work on my school assignments at night, even when exhausted. After finishing, I brush my teeth, wash my face, do my skincare routine, and then go to sleep.

That's my daily routine as a student.
