In Semester 1, I have definitely experienced much more challenges compared to Year 9. However, despite this, I managed to push through and learn from those experiences.
Academically, I have learnt to explore new ways to study. Due to the increase in workload for all of my subjects, the way I studied in Year 9 was not efficient enough to keep up with this increase. I have learnt to plan out my schedule, and find the most effective and efficient way to learn and prepare for all of my assessments.
Socially, I have talked to more of my peers, and made new friends. I am really thankful that I did, as it allowed me to get to know so many amazing people. I have noticed an improvement in my confidence, and growth as a person.
