A Persistent girl becomes a woman with perceptions. She is Donalyn Villaflores Salazar 21 years of existence studying at CTU. Dona has a partner in crime, which is her twin sister Nora. Twin sisters with blood and a heart. She has eight siblings and has a very supportive mother. Dona is a simple girl who has the biggest dream in life. She is a hardworking girl with many practical dreams.

One day, it was a beautiful morning, I hold my cellphone suddenly open my Facebook, and I was sitting like a beautiful princess. I notice the beautiful mountain and a nice sunset, with tweety birds

I received an unexpected message that the online class will start on September 1, 2020. supposed to be excited or nervous. Until I realize that I will never give up, I will do the things that I never regret in the future. I will do my best to attain my dreams.

Dona's POV

Alarm beep beep beep
I get ready. I brush my teeth, hair, afterward, I go down to do my morning routine. These are washing dishes, washing clothes, rub the tables.
Dona- Oh my God! I forgot this is a day that online class is going to start. I am out of my mind. I am calling my mother to continue my work here.
Dona- Mother, are you around? Could you please come here?
minutes passed, mom has arrived
Mom- Sweetie, Is there a problem? Tell me, what is it? What happened to your face? Why are you look stress?
Dona- I am okay class is ahead. I need to prepare. I start being a busy mom. Sorry for there are times I am not working with my routine.
Mom- I understand. Did you eat your breakfast already?
Dona- Chuckle and nodded.
Mom- Please take care of your self, keep fighting sweetie. I am always here for you.

I leave the house and find a better place to have a strong connection. As I find a better place, I open my messenger, a lot of messages, one of them is our active mayor, reminding that today having a live stream about our campus. I sighed if I lose my connection? How can I understand? How can I catch up on the discussion? Sadly, some teachers do not have consideration, making an oral recitation even some students do not have an unstable connection. They always stress the students. Some teachers posted assignments without even discussing it.

Marlinda's POV

I get out of bed, take a bath, go downstairs, prepare breakfast for my lovely daughter. I start cooking and doing household chores. Almost 8 a.m, but she did not wake up early.
Marlinda- Dona, get up, a class is going. I shouted, no one answered.
So I enter her room and shake her slightly.
Marlinda- Dona, time for school, online class right? She stares at me but turns over back to sleep. Dona gets up now unless your food will be getting colder.
Dona: mom, coming.

Author's POV
A First week in class, a lot of activities, assignments, projects give by all teachers. Submission of activities clearly stated. A lot of students encountered not having an unstable connection. Struggle to understand what assignment is all about. Easily distracted of not strong connection at home. As of this moment, one of the teachers announced that there is a summative exam posted in the google classroom and answer it 20 minutes only. But glad to know her data connection is cooperating with her sometimes. The problem is on rainy days expect that the connection is poor.

From that day, online meet up is real there will be reporting by group, supposedly Dona is a representative of her group. The Signal is stable this time. Other groups present it already an instructor will ask several questions of them, together with their leaders. Sadly, when it is her time, her load is expiring, and her cellphone is hanging, added Dona. What can I do now? I hope my teachers can understand my situation.

The next day,
A week-ends day
One morning, I am happy because of its week-ends.
A few minutes.
I received a message from email, one of my teachers posted on google classroom to make a lesson plan that will be pass on Monday. Many teachers posted on google classroom even it is week-ends.
I am depressed by this. I have to rest. I need it. Many sleepless nights, I cannot eat on time, but no choice as a student I do my role. In my mind, I finished it early. So I can take a rest. I do my lesson plan as early as possible.

Dona- Sis, I will be the first one using a laptop. I will make a lesson plan.
Nora- What? In your dream, I am the first one who uses it right now. Just wait If I have already done it.
Dona- Take a bath first, then eat your breakfast.
Nora- Still fresh, not hungry too. Excuse me, have to make my lesson plan now.
Dona- Why are you always like that? Why are you making it complicated? Why am I always understand you? Can you please understand me now?
Nora- I said, I will be the first one who uses it. Just wait.
Dona- We both students, were sisters, so we must understand each other. So please understand me as well.
Nora- I have many things to do.
Dona- I am busy too, so become it is fair we have to toast a coin. Deal?
Hard work and determination is the road to success so be the spotlight and keep glowing
