My first semester with 11 - Nakaura has finally concluded, and I can tell that they've slowly become what I call my "family" in school ♥. I now have an overview of who they are and what kind of personality they have. I've also learned how they can be the kindest people but could also be the not-so-friendly ones. I've realized how each of us has our strengths and weaknesses and how much stronger we can be when working together.
✿ 11 - Nakaura ✿
This quarter, I really felt how united our section is because we didn't have the Group A-Group B set up anymore. However, initially, I felt intimidated because I thought that more people = more competition = more pressure. This became true, but at least I have found happiness and comfort in my classmates.
For our Statistics and Probabilities course, I have observed how my classmates can be supportive and uplifting in many different ways. The competition was also present, but I think the goal really is that we are all content with what we achieve.

We finally had photos of us 11 - Nakaura complete. The photo above was shot using Dia's film camera; it is one of my favorite photos of us. Plus, Sir Batas is also in the picture with us. This photo was taken after our last StatProb session, indeed for keeps ✿.
✦ My Working Relationship with Them ✦
My classmates have always been very approachable, kind, and hardworking. Like during the first quarter, before the bell rang, my classmates and I would sometimes review or study math and kindly remind others about it. Often, we would come together and discuss math, sometimes even ranting about it.
There was also one time when I failed to answer a practice activity the night before its due date, so I decided to answer it by the time I arrived at school. Unexpectedly, when my seatmate saw me working on the activity, she offered to help me, which I accepted. She wrote the formulas in my notebook, which helped me since I was in a hurry. I also asked her if she could recheck my answers, and she agreed; fortunately, all my answers were correct, and I turned in the activity just a few minutes before its due time. I got a perfect score for that activity, and I thank my classmate because she was a part of that success. ✦
All of these made me realize that even if there may be competition in the classroom, my classmates are still very supportive, and they're the kind of people that would be in your support system. It's such an incredible opportunity to have these people surrounding me. ♡

✿ ProbSet Group ✿
This quarter, I spent most of my StatProb course time with my ProbSet groupmates. Alyssa, Aaron, Andrew, Gab, Bella, and Jasmin are some of the kindest and most supportive people I have met. I slowly knew their personalities, and how they handle school work through the activities we did by group.
In answering our ProbSet, we decided that having a group call was ineffective for us, so we agreed to do our parts individually and reach out whenever we needed help. That worked for us as we could accomplish our tasks at our own pace and comfort.
Because of that, I realized that we are all unique; one thing may work on the other but may not work on another, and vice-versa. We just need to find the best way to work best that would lead us to accomplish our one goal.
My groupmates were very approachable, hardworking, and diligent. Whenever someone had a hard time answering a problem, they were responsive and always offered help. These are evident when you look at the image carousels on I Can Solve Problems. We rechecked our answers multiple times and then passed our ProbSet on time.
