1) The document discusses a chemistry lesson about solutions that the author learned in their Advanced Chemistry class.
2) It draws an analogy between the types of solutions (unsaturated, saturated, supersaturated) and the pressures students face during the pandemic.
3) The author explains how being an unsaturated or saturated student allows one to handle problems, while being a supersaturated student means giving up when problems cannot be managed.

REFLECTION
ADVANCED CHEMISTRY
Sam Ashley M. Dela Cruz
My Journey as a Student (Reflection on Advanced Chemistry) This third grading, one of the lessons we discussed was about the meaning of a solution and what are the types of it. As we all know, a solution is defined as a type of homogeneous mixture consisting of two or more substances in which one substance is dissolved in another. It could be saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated depending upon the dissolution of the solute in the solvent. We also performed an experiment to identify and categorized solutions. This is probably one of the interesting lessons we studied this third quarter. It has been a year since we stay in our houses during this pandemic. People all over the world suffer major losses. Every country was forced to lock down as Coronavirus cases quickly increasing day by day. One of the groups that suffer the most is the students. The switch to remote or distance learning modalities such as self-learning modules and online classes, combined with the paradox of high-priced yet slow-speed internet access in the country, puts a strain on families' ability to bear the additional costs for this mode of education. Because of this, students are pressured to answer their modules and do their school requirements, despite the said problems given above. This issue interrelates the lesson, “Types of Solutions”. For example, let the solutes become the problem or the pressures put on the student, and let solvent be the student. If we add a little amount of solute to a solvent, we can categorize it as an unsaturated solution. An unsaturated solution is a solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solute that is capable of being dissolved. With this, students like me can solve all the problems we encounter and can handle the pressure given to us. We can easily fathom all of the obstacles we wish to remove in our adventure to our desired destination. If we add another solute to the solution until it reaches the maximum amount that is capable to dissolved, we could call it as saturated solution. This type of solution also interrelates the limit of a student to cope up to the stress and problems in life. To be part of the pandemic era as a student, we exposed to repeated stressful events academically, along with household conflicts. We were forced to push to the limits to reach and to fulfill all the expectations by the people around us. If the solution exceeds the amount of solute that is capable to dissolved in the solvent, it is called supersaturated solution. Regardless of how much you stir it, the crystals stay at the bottom of the solution. Just like this, if a student cannot manage the pressure, stress, or the problems they are suffering to, they would just give up and all their hopes will just crush and disappear. Even though supersaturated solutions could not dissolve all of the solutes in the solvent, there are still ways to make this into a saturated solution, such as filtering all of the excess solute and lowering the temperature. In order to eliminate the obstacles in my life as a student in this pandemic, I remove all the things that give off negative vibes and induce stress. This is because it only contributes acrimony to our well-being and thus, it could affect our performance academically. In addition, just like how supersaturated solutions become saturated solutions, I cool my head off as we need to stay calm and to not think the problems that make me worried and anxious. For me, poise is a prerequisite to peak performance. When a person is composed, sufficiently practiced and self- assured, they will be poised for success.
