At first when I was coming back to school for this term, I did not feel like coming back because of the length of time we will be spending. Surprisingly, this term went by fast; before I knew it, it was continuous assessment and, then, it became examination, and I was pondering why time goes fast when you expect it to go slow and why it goes slow when you expect it to go fast. Time is so confusing!
This term, I had a few challenges health-wise and academically. During the last day of the continuous assessment, I fell ill and I went to the clinic but I was discharged the same day. I went back to the clinic in the night due to the fact that I vomited. I was discharged two - three days later. The next day I went back to the clinic but this time I went to the hospital. I spent a night there and two more days for complete recovery in the clinic. I was in and out of the clinic for a week.
This term I have plans on getting into the honour roll but I did not accomplish that and it was a big challenge. I am trying my hardest but I keep maintaining the merit roll. I am grateful for that but I believe I can do better.
As a solution to my challenge health-wise, I use my mosquito net constantly to prevent the bite of mosquitoes to prevent malaria from the bites. Since then I have not gotten any mosquito bites; therefore, there is no possibility of me getting malaria.
Also, my solution to my academic challenges is to study harder, maintain focus, avoid distractions, pray to God to assist me and maintain undivided attention in my studies. 
My social life has been okay I did not make new friends. I am okay with the friends I have now. Some of them have been annoying, short-tempered, conniving at times but I know how to counter them. In summary, this term has not been the best but I pushed through and I got through by the grace of God.
