General Reflection: Term 2

As for Term 2, the second term of the year, by far it is the most demanding and tough term for me as an individual, as I had to constantly remind myself to study harder this term since the last term was a disappointment for me and yet train harder for my CCA as the National Inter-School Competition takes place this term. Fortunately, the topic for this term was easier to understand and learn compared to term 1's. We learnt Biology on Sexual Reproduction generally, and it was pretty straightforward both for the teacher and the students ourselves, as for this topic it's mainly facts and information that we have to memorize and we are not required to learn any concept-wise topics. However, the most challenging part for the term test would rather be the one on Acids and Alkalis. As for this topic which was taught last term, we were required to re-learn some of the concepts and memorize more element/chemical-related stuff that we had inevitably forgotten from last term. This was espcially tedious since the topic itself was already hard to learn in the first place, but in the end, we still managed to pull through due to the care and guidance from both friends and teachers. Online lessons for the term was interesting and fun. We were required to make a video about Sexual Transmitted Diseases. Although it was a bit awkward when we were researching for information on various differerent diseases as we came along quite a number of disgusting images, it was very fruitful since we got to understand them and I thought that these information on the causes of these diseases could effectively serve as a warning to us in future on how to avoid all these from happening.
As for the results of the term test, I felt a certain amount of happiness but not much as althought I improved from a B4 to B3 from last term, my goal was actually an A2 or higher. However after reflecting again, I think that the cause of this would not mostly be the additional stress and CCA trainings I had due to the National Competition coming up, but rather I would mainly be because I had poor time-planning as I often could not find time to study and revise but strangely I could still see myself playing video-games at time. But in the end, I still decided to remain optimistic and figured that I would make full use of the June holidays to study harder for the following terms such that I would see a much better improvement in terms of results and my learning attitude.
