My Senior High Struggles

Hey, everyone! I'm Jhunel Morales, a senior high school student wrestling with the pressures and stress that school brings. Last year, I was just a grade 8 student, but thanks to the ALS program, here I am now, trying to figure things out in senior high. Let me tell you, it's been a rollercoaster.

Getting used to this new grade level has been a real challenge. Everything's new, and keeping up with the lessons has been super tough. I feel this pressure, you know? I want to do well, get good grades, but sometimes it feels like climbing a mountain.There are days when I'm stressed out. You know, when all subjects suddenly throw activities, homework, and group work at me all at once. It's so stressful, especially when I'm often picked to lead group tasks. It's not that I complain about being chosen; it's just that most times, the others in my group don't help much. Some do, but some really don't. With so much to do in school, especially when deadlines bunch up, it gets incredibly hard.

But you know what? In the midst of all that chaos, there are moments when I find ways to cope. When I'm given a task, I jump on it right away to avoid drowning in a sea of pending work. I really don't want to drown because tasks keep piling up one after another. It'd be awesome if there was a better system for handing out homework and activities. I'm Jhunel Morales, and these struggles are why I often feel pressured and stressed during my studies.
