Eureka !

Have you ever felt very ecstatic of something that you achieved after giving much of your efforts to it?
Well, I have been...

After burning up midnight candles about my Science Investigatory Project, finally I can rest soundly asleep and have myself overwhelm.

I have been through many tough time because of this project, there were times I would just want to give up and leave it there in my desk, unattended. But then, after a while it would always ring in my mind that if I leave it now, all the things I've work hard for will go to a waste and as well as the effort of those who tried to help me. I would always feel the guilt so, I didn't mind how tiresome it would be and how brain busting it would be as long as I can finish what I've started and put nothing to waste and no one to blame.

I had to search for many information and search for topics that might have the slightest possibility of approval. I have submitted many titles and topics and most of them have all been a failure, all of them we're rejects. Until finally I came across this beautiful tree with lovely flowers, got amazed by it which made my curiosity rise. I asked my mother about it and when I knew what it was I look for some facts about it and tried it as a proposal for a title and guess what, it was approved. That was the beginning of the feeling that my spirits have been lifted quite a little.

I didn't stop searching for more about the topic I've found interest in, it was about the plant Banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa). My goal was for my title to be approved by our Science Department head. On the first time I went to her my project wasn't totally rejected, but it needs more support and my oral defense needed much impact, so she let me returned if I have the right defense and some samples of the plant Banaba. There we're many days that it bothered me. I was always worried about it because I am truly very eager to join the Regional Science Fair to be held in our school on September.

On Tuesday, last June 30, finally my title was approved!!!
Thanks to the help of some of my elder sisters[schoolmates on a higher level] in school, it was approved. They never knew how happy I was. Finally, I can join the contest and finally the quest for approval was finished. Next up is the experimentation and documents.
Whew..

I hope I'll still make it this time...
