My Quarter 2 Reflection!

During the second quarter, I learned that being quiet does not always keep you away from problems. Sometimes, staying silent can even make situations worse because it stops others from understanding how you really feel. I realized that communication is very important, especially in maintaining peace and understanding within the family.

One of the problems I encountered was when I stayed quiet while my parents were upset with me. I knew I made a mistake, but it was hard for me to speak up. I felt like they were both against me, and it hurt when my dad said I was the reason our family’s relationship was getting worse. It made me feel guilty and misunderstood.

At that time, I didn’t do anything to fix the problem. Normally I would go out of the house when I can be it nature trip or just wondering around Vigan. But this time I just kept quiet and tried to endure everything. I thought that staying silent would help, but it only made me feel more distant from my family. However, later on, I realized that I needed to try again. I slowly gained some courage to talk to them, even though it’s still hard because sometimes they don’t listen or cut me off.

Moving on, I will try to keep communicating little by little. Even if it’s difficult, I want to learn how to express myself calmly and honestly. I hope that with time, my family will also start to listen more, and we can rebuild our relationship through understanding and patience.
