Grade 10 – Beryl

On Monday, I never felt anything. I am just happy with my life, pursuing all the subjects that I
might encounter. I am also doing the right thing as a student, no matter how hard the situation is. I am
still pursuing my dreams in the midst of a pandemic. I have experienced rejection in terms of getting
what I want, like the food I wanted to buy, but that seems not good for me. That is why my mom
rejected me from buying chocolates and other stuff that might cause me suffering.

On the second day, Tuesday, I was about to sleep late. That is why in the morning I didn’t attend
my homeroom class. I felt neglected at that time because I wasn’t able to wake up early in the morning
and I felt that I was not responsible enough with my studies.

On Wednesday, I was about to wake up early for the reason that I didn’t want to experience the
thing that I did yesterday. I was at the point of studying for the exam this morning. No disappointments,
rejections, discouragements, or other negative feelings on this day.

On Thursday, the same thing happened as on Wednesday. Fortunately, I slept early and woke up
early in the morning to eat my breakfast and start studying. These subjects were some of the hardest
that I have encountered, but I am happy with my scores and results. Nothing happens this day. It’s all
the happy moments that I have received this day.

               On Friday, something bothered me this day. I was having a nervous cracking experience about
the subject we were taken for, because this subject is my least favorite, not because of the teacher, but
because I don’t really understand nor construct any sentences or all that well. Above all, I was trying my
best to pursue this subject. Until I met the discouragement on this day where I was being called a
cheater because I was stammering while saying my answer to her question. I was just trying my best to
the fullest enablement to ensure that it would not be a disappointment to me, but it happened.

On Saturday, it will be time for me to recover from the things that happened during the week. I
am fully escaping the sadness that happened to me on Friday. I can’t help myself remembering the fact
that I was convicted as a cheater because I have never done that ever since in my life. This is the day
that I am recovering from my bad experiences during the week.

How did I cope with this situation?

On Sunday, this was the day where I was coping with this kind of situation. I asked my mother if
we could go to the church, knowing that she didn’t know what I had experienced these past few weeks. I
felt that I had not fully recovered from being called a cheater. That is why I prayed for my wisdom,
courage, and compassion from God almighty. I solemnly pray for what happened on Friday. I prayed that
would not happen again.

THIS IS MY PRAYER:

In the name of the Father, the son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Lord God, thank you for this day. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to live despite
what is happening in my surroundings this day. I am hoping that everyone is safe, Lord God. I love these
weekdays, even if it is hard for me to accept that I am being called a cheater by my teacher, Lord God. I
know, Lord, that you saw me at that time. I am just nervous about helping myself to cope up with that
subject by trying to pursue and finish that question even if it is sort of hard for me. Lord God, grant me
the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can, and the
wisdom, Lord God, to know the difference. I am praying this not just for myself, Lord God, but for the
students that are also suffering in this kind of situation. We all know, Lord, that You are here for us. We
love You and are sorry for what we did to You. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
