A pleasant day. I'm Mary Rose Bulawan, 22 years old. I want to share my journey during the second semester as a second-year college student. As a student, I have faced many problems and challenges related to school requirements. Since we had two months of synchronous classes due to the heat, this made it even more challenging, as the subjects were difficult to understand when taught online. It has been tiring because each professor has a different teaching approach, and we need to adjust to them.

This semester, I faced numerous challenges, especially since I am one of the officers in our class and also take on leadership roles in different subjects. The most challenging experience for me has been our research paper; we didn’t have enough time to finish it, which led to a lot of conflict. Some of our classmates did not comply, which created additional burdens, as we had promised each other that no one would be left behind. However, I am still grateful that, despite these difficulties, we remain strong and connected.

I would like to mention that I have overcome these problems thanks to God, my family, and my friends. I know that God's presence was with me during those days, providing me with the knowledge and wisdom I needed for my studies. He always helps and protects me. I am glad to declare that, with God's guidance and assistance, I was able to overcome those challenges and fulfill my responsibilities as a student and leader.

I've learned a lot this semester, and I hope to use this knowledge to develop new talents and skills in my third year. I also learned to be a source of motivation for those around me, testifying that God will always be by our side, even in the hardest moments.

Thank you very much. Because of you, I am able to face these college challenges and have the chance to achieve my dreams. I am very grateful to God for giving me people like you. Thank you for all the support you have provided. I hope this testimony encourages you to support many students like me. Take care, and may God bless you and your family abundantly.
