Many of us are aware of the positive results that come with a reading habit. But why are more people especially young students not reading more books?

 The Second Quarter tested our patience, determination creativity and management skills . There were many class disruptions brought about by typhoons and heavy rains that led to cancellation of classes. This brought about limited time for us to work on subject requirements . The gap for examinations and beating deadlines for projects was too close.     There were many sleepless nights just to work overtime . Sometimes our body felt too tired at the end of the day but must still have the energy to study for the next days quiz and exams.     Barely do we have the time to do other chores in our own homes because of the bulk of work hard we need to finish. Some projects needed extra money for printing. Without support from parents , life would have not been good and went on smoothly.     My learning for this quarter is to stay determined despite of time pressure, relax and manage time to be able to submit requirements on time.
