'Aging'?

The past few days have been a pleasant break from the hectic schedules of school. Firstly, I did finish the first few midterms of my university career. It was something I had never really been anticipating since I was slightly nervous till the exam paper made its way to me. Thoughts of uncertainty hit me after the exams of Linear Algebra and Calculus but the preparation was all I had to keep me confident.. And the practice had been great because I actually had a history of test anxiety that I noticed in my final years. And there is only one way to fight the fear.. I had to empower myself with the knowledge and confidence through practice. It is just the beginning and the truth is that the grade 12 content is very much overlapping in the course content now. However, if there is a goal I have this term.. It is to adopt more habits that will guide me to my goal of being the best student and engineer.. As my father says, the first part of it is to make sure you are accompanied by the same values and goals as you. The second and equally important if not more, is to put in the hours to master the content. This is advice I have gained over the years and it is genuinely the truest. Advice, has changed it's importance and has changed my perspectives in these few days. It has gone from being 'the old, and repeated dialogues of my mother and sometimes father'.. To 'proven practices and guides that carry people to success'.. But I do agree that, it is easier to offer advice than actually follow it in one's life. And why am I thinking of all these things all of a sudden? Well, I have recently finished nineteen years of my life and had the opportunity to reflect upon them and see how to make my time to come.. An even more memorable one.

Panda out.
