The upcoming Face to Face Classes this monday required a lot of preparation for me. And so far so good, I am proud of myself witnessing the small progress and growth I now have.
Last day, I told my mom that she wouldn't worry anymore about buying me school supplies. I said that I would be the one to buy my school supplies with the money I saved so that she could save or spend on groceries the supposedly budget for me.
In that way, I am beyond glad of myself and happy because the money I saved here in Hive was the money I spent for buying my school supplies; and I offered a little help for my mother: to don't add burdens on her.
It may be a simple thing for some, however for me it's a milestone towards an independent lifestyle.
Firstly, I bought a cheap ukay-ukay bag and a black shoes (boots) from a known thrift shop that sells imported things with much quality and durability in a low discounted price here in our city. In that way I could save more than spend thrice the price if I will buy at malls.
I, with my choosy trait, bought a new tumbler as well, 12 notebooks and pens, and other stationery and art materials—all were chosen profoundly and well.
In addition to these, I spent my remaining money on buying snacks for me and my little brother for school, and by buying sanitary pads, medicines for allergies, and other stuff for personal hygiene I will be needing at school. Sadly, I haven't got the chance to take pictures of my adventure yesterday because my phone's back camera was broken.

You'll get an impression that I am really excited for the opening of classes, because truly somehow, I really am after the 2 years of online and distance learning.
If I were to describe myself months before, hearing the reopening of classes will probably going to freak me out. I was not ready yet to socialize again, I was not ready for school and for the pressure, I was not ready to go out of my comfort zone. I was not confident.
Good thing, my preparations were fruitful now. By doing arts, I started to regained my creativity. And Self-help books as well helped me with my preparation by improving my mental health stability and bright perspective.

After months spent reading text books, I could say my brain cells are running again and are prepared to face the pressure. After months of studying public speaking, and practicing habits for having confidence, I know now that I gained confidence. Although, I am not really that confident still, these confidence will be enough for me to hold my chin up for hours.
In these blog, I want to give thanks to the people here in Hive for supporting me, and for helping me grow to be better and helping to become confident as well. This platform really is a big help, for my personal development. I apologize if my thank yous are somewhat redundant, but still, I thank you kuya and sir
for giving me this opportunity, and for the rest of the Hive community for the support and appreciation.
