Journey of Success 2023

“However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.”

– Stephen Hawking

Hello, my dear Hive Keepers! It's @daenerhys here, and I hope you all are doing great and having a wonderful day. It's been a couple of days since I last posted my blogs and I was really thrilled and excited to share with you guys some of my success moments that have made 2023 a truly incredible year for me. It has been an absolute honor to receive recognition and achieve success, and I can't wait to open up and discuss these experiences with all of you.

How have you been? What's been the highlight of your year so far? Have you encountered any significant achievements? I'd love to hear about your journey too! Stay tuned as I delve into the story behind my awards and successes.

The first set of pictures captured during the Brigada Kick Off, where my SSLG (Supreme Secondary Learner Government) team and I poured our efforts into assisting the teachers and ensuring the success of the program. Prior to the event, Ma'am @dehai reached out to us if someone could dance for the intermission number for the program so, I chatted with my SSLG peers if it was okay that we could dance for the program and after that we committed to practicing for two days to perfect our routine. The dedication and teamwork paid off as we delivered a captivating performance, marking a significant highlight of the event.

The second set of pictures beautifully sum up the Club hunting event at Ilihan Integrated School, where my SSLG team and I, assisting the Club Advisers. We strived to facilitate a seamless club selection for the students, witnessing their enthusiasm and excitement as they chose clubs aligned with their interests. Our collaboration with the Club Advisers contributed to the event's resounding success, reflecting our commitment to fostering an engaging extracurricular environment for the students.

The seventh set of pictures calls up a sense of pride and fulfillment in me, during our card day and recognition event for our section (Grade 12-Platinum). It was an honor to receive the With High Honor award, securing the first spot in our section with a 96% general average in the first quarter. And of course every recognition I've received, I always carry out my handsome baby with me hehehe.

The eighth picture was during the Science and Mathematics Month, where I received multiple awards across various contests. Earning 1st place in Quiz Bee Math, 1st place in Quiz Bee Science, 1st place in Quiz Bowl Math and my partner @tomilee, and also securing the 3rd place in the Science Investigatory Project Contest(I was actually a little sad because I wasn't able to defend my previous spot as the Science Investigatory Project Contest Champion from the previous year. But that's okay, that's life. Not all the time can we achieve the first spot, so 3rd place is not bad though)

The tenth picture marks the top of honor and responsibility, as I was appointed as the Editor-in-Chief of our School Publication, "The Inked Hands." I was very happy that they believed in my leadership abilities and the potential to lead our school's publication, alongside a devoted team, my fellow journalists.

In this last set of pictures, I include to my success, the first withdrawal of my earnings of blogging here in Hive. I bought some groceries and snacks for my family, and even bought new toys for my sons. I expressed deep appreciation to Ma'am @callmesmile for her invaluable guidance throughout my blogging journey, and to Ma'am @indayclara, who nurtured us to become a responsible blogger, and also the ethical blogging practices here in Hive.

I will definitely anticipate more opportunities and accomplishments in the year ahead for me. So, hopefully 2024 will also good to me hehehe😅
