No one could ever seize a passionate heart willing enough to compass an earnest desire to build a better future anchored on a clear vision. Uncertainties and defying challenges may come to rise but the ardent zeal to withstand remained a potent strength to success. 

Reaching the far cry of this year’s anticipated end of school year rites posed a surmounting hurdle towards the parents, teachers and students. One might not deny the fact of how our country’s educational landscape turned to alter and to modify its learning scheme due to the threat of the pandemic COVID-19. Considering the internet connectivity requirement and analyzing the printed content of learning modules given by the restriction of face to face classes, all have persevered and hassled to ends meet. 

But like the longevity and flexibility of a bamboo tree, learners still find silver linings out from the challenges they encounter all up driven for a common goal. They continually strive to survive, and demonstrate positive actions, responses, and outlook to surpass their daily academic struggles. Thus, as Shawn Anchor put to remind, the most successful people see adversity not as a stumbling block, but as a stepping stone to greatness.

Time may contend and opposing trials desolately took to bloom yet the heart who loves shall always gleam out of its inner aspiration for a brighter future. This is the distinguishing character of a Filipino 21st century learners, zealous in pursuing dreams and resilient in the face of adversity.
