Alja's world

Hello,  school year is coming to an end and I want to share some lessons that I have learned. I wish I have known this sooner, because I was so worried about my first year in high school and then I realized that all of stress was a total nonsense, because high school really is not a big deal. And here are these lessons: People won't care about you appearance.. There will always be people that won't like and that is OK. You will probably have bad days every once in a while. Making mistakes is what makes you human. It is OK to make some new friends. It is OK to lose some old friends. Dare to be different. Don't be too hard on yourself. Don't let people use you. Some people will only pretend that they like you. Always be(lieve in) yourself. Try to be happy Set a goal and achieve it. Never stop dreaming!  Alja 

Hello, we will probably finish this school year online.  When I started my freshman year in high school, I never thought that this would happen. It is really hard not seeing your friends in person every day, not having those silly conversations during maths, not blushing and laughing when you see your crush. It sucks. It really sucks that coronavirus pandemic is changing our lives and we cannot do anything else that just accept it and try to get used to it. It is hard if you are a person that had planed her whole freshman year, but since the start of quarantine all of her plans weren't possible anymore.  But we will get through this only if we stay at home and selfisolate. It is really funny how you had took some things for granted until something like that happened. You really start to be thankful for your health and your family that helps you survive this awful time. We have to stay positive, optimistic, thankful that we are healthy, thankful that out family and friends...
