Hello Hivereans,

It's been quite a while since I last uploaded a blog post. This week, I had to prioritize my midterm examinations, especially in Calculus—a subject that has been quite challenging. However, I’m thankful to God that we successfully completed our midterm in Calculus yesterday. I did my best and lifted everything to God, trusting that whatever the result may be, it is all in His hands.

It was a beautiful morning, I woke up early, prepare breakfast and then visited this area to start my task for today, way to go Jess!

Here's a snapshot from our midterm exam in one of my major subjects. Despite the difficulty, I feel a sense of accomplishment, knowing that I gave my all.

Now that the exams are over and classes are on break, I’m back to fulfilling another responsibility.

Currently, I am living with the family of our senior pastor and his wife. Although I miss my family and desire to visit them, there are several factors to consider that make it difficult at the moment. I am essentially living the life of a semi-working student. I am incredibly thankful to the pastor's family for their support and understanding. They allow me to prioritize my studies while also contributing to the household. What started as a weekend stay gradually turned into a longer arrangement, and I feel blessed to be in such a supportive environment. Though I can’t visit my family just yet, I’m focused on my studies and the responsibilities I have here. I trust that in God’s perfect time, I will be able to visit home and reconnect with my loved ones.

So, my task for today is to clean the garden at the back and get rid of all the unnecessary plants.

As you can see, there is a lot of grass that needs to be cleared; otherwise, snakes might start visiting this area. This is the responsibility I must accomplish today.

Later on, around 10 AM, I was able to finish cleaning this side only, as it’s already too hot. And you can see it on my face too, and happy that I accomplish something great today.

Here is the cleaned area, and you can see this green sack where I put all the weeds.
I will post an update on my next blog after this area is totally cleaned :)

After two hours of cleaning, my stomach started to hurt and craved food. Since there's plenty to eat here, I decided to rest for a while and enjoy my happy snacks. Happy tummy, happy me!

And one more thing, I still need to finish my laundry phew what a day, this is life.

In conclusion, life in the real world is really not that easy, especially when you have responsibilities to manage. Being a student does not end with attending classes and passing exams. Behind every survival, there is suffering and challenges. It may not be the worst, but it is certainly quite challenging.

However, these struggles help us grow and become stronger individuals. Through hard work, patience, and faith, we learn to persevere and achieve our goals. The sacrifices we make today will eventually lead to a brighter and more successful future. Every challenge we face molds us into better versions of ourselves, preparing us for the realities of life ahead.

That would be all, thank you as always for supporting my journey here in Hive!

Great job! Good luck on your studies. I am once just like you, balancing the life as a college student while also working on my blogging career. Keep it up, it will soon be paid off.

Thanks much po 😊

Managing studies, having responsibility and being far away from the family takes a lot of mental and emotional strength. Remember every sacrifice makes you to a better future. You're an inspiration. Be proud!

Thank you so much 😊 po, it's not that easy talaga, to balance everything!

You're welcome 😊 Yes it might be tough but with your dedication, I know you can do it. Just focus and don't forget to pray.

You are right; in the real world, it's not easy. You will face many challenges that test your strengths and weaknesses. As long as we live, we should keep moving forward and hope for the best.

You nailed it!💯

You're such a hardworking person. People like you should be lifted as an example to these growing kids. May are so privileged that even helping in their own home is troublesome to them. But you, staying in another house, helping with the chores while studying...You really are amazing.

I am not a teacher but I have tried handling students (when the teacher is absent) and I constantly remind them to be kind, respectful and helpful. It breaks my heart looking at Grade 5 students who doesn't know how to even greet their teachers properly, how to treat their classmates with respect...but reading posts like this gives me hope to keep on telling these kids on how to be a good one.

I pray for your success and to be an inspiration to others. 🙏 May our Good Lord bless you more.

Thank you so much po, appreciated 🫶

Good luck with your exams, may you finish the semester with high marks. Cleaning the yard on a hot day is tiring but you are still smiling. It really feels good when we accomplish a lot in a day. Just carry on with the good deeds that you have been doing. I sometimes wash my dirty clothes by hand, good exercise for me LoL...

Thank you so much po

what a productive day of yours , I know being a college student is not easy since you are also a working student , I admire you from being a hardworking especially to your studies , I know you will be successful someday because of the good deeds that you've shown , keep on praying ang just enjoy life ,.
