Dear Marellians,
With physical classes suspended, the JMI Guidance Center wants to pop into your feed and check on you.
We know this week brings a lot to navigate. Managing self-paced learning tasks at home during gloomy weather can feel draining. On top of that, we hear and share your frustration regarding the delayed school activities. Youโve poured so much heart, energy, and teamwork into preparing, and it is completely valid to feel disappointed when those moments get put on hold.
As you work through your home tasks and wait out the weather, keep these reminders in mind:
Pace Yourself (Hinay-hinay lang): Work at a steady pace, take intentional breaks, and reach out to your teachers if you need flexibility or clarification on tasks.
Acknowledge Your Feelings: Itโs okay to feel let down about postponed events. Disappointment just shows how much you cared about what you prepared for.
Look Out for One Another: Check in on your classmates, friends, and teammates. A simple text can brighten someoneโs gloomy day.
๐ We Are Here for You (and Your Friends)
You don't have to carry stress, anxiety, or heavy feelings alone. If you are feeling overwhelmed by schoolwork, the bad weather, or personal struggles, please reach out to us at the JMI Guidance Center.
Equally important: if you notice a classmate or friend who seems unusually quiet, stressed, or struggling to cope, encourage them to reach out or let us know so we can extend a helping hand. Caring for our community means looking out for each other.
The rain will pass, and our postponed events will eventually happen. Until then, stay safe, warm, and connected.
