Sherilyn’s health has been a significant focus of attention recently due to a foot injury suffered three weeks ago. This week we’ve seen a small victory in her ongoing battle against the injured foot. The swelling on her left foot has receded somewhat, and she doesn’t need the crutches to walk around anymore. However, she is still hobbling and walking very slowly. She says she walks like a penguin now. It’s been a relief to see her regain her mobility albeit slowly, enabling her to head to college for a test on Wednesday.
Sherilyn’s educational path has led her to embark on a journey into the challenging world of architecture. The dedication she has exhibited towards her studies is remarkable, but it has also raised some concerns about her well-being.
In the past few days, Sherilyn’s laptop has become her constant companion. As soon as she returns from college, she dives headfirst into her assignments. Her intense focus has led her to lose track of time, forgetting essential elements like hydration, meals, and even rest. I have to keep reminding her to eat her meals, and fruits, drink enough water, shower, and sleep. I don’t know if she even slept the past three days as she was rushing out several assignments for submission.
The sight of Sherilyn’s unrelenting dedication to her studies has left me contemplating the balance between academic aspirations and personal well-being. It’s natural to be concerned about her health and the toll her rigorous schedule may be taking.
I still wonder if Sherilyn’s chosen path aligns with her overall well-being. While her zeal for learning is admirable, it’s equally essential to maintain a balance that nurtures both her academic journey and her health. This is just the tip of the iceberg as she’s only pursuing a Foundation course now. When she dives into the real essence of architectural studies next year, things will only get harder and assignments will be more complicated.
I’ll continue to support Sherilyn’s educational aspirations, offering guidance on finding that equilibrium that fosters a successful and sustainable academic career. I hope that Sherilyn will somehow find the right harmony in her academic journey and well-being while cherishing her health first.
