Motivation drives us to do more than what we can. It gives us enough reason to continue achieving our dreams. But there are times that we don't feel motivated at all.

Yes, it's possible. Lack of motivation hampers consistent actions. Thus, it makes us realize that we're not making significant progress.

I was anticipating one of the toughest challenges I'd be facing in my academic life so far, my board examination. But because of what's currently happening, what I am already waiting is the moment the pandemic ends. That's the only time I can expect things to be certain.

With what's happening around, it is not easy to concentrate. People are dying and the economy is affected as well. In fact, everyone is severely affected by the pandemic. It would really make you think twice if you must be bothered about the future or stay focused with the present.

I started to feel hopeless. I don't know where to find my motivation. I kept asking myself until when are we going to stay like this? 

I've been looking for my motivation. Only to find out that all this time, they are beside me.

It took me a while to realize that I never lost my motivation. They were there when I was doubting if I'd be able to finish school. They were there when I'm at my lowest. They were there through ups and downs.

They are the reason why I didn't stop dreaming. My family has made me realize how important education is. They value education that much because they believe that it can change not only my life but also the life of others.

My motivation was never lost. They were just beside me.
