How I Describe My Family

We are currently a family of five, my mother, my two older sisters, my older brother and me. My father died when I was still 1 year old and my grandfather died in June 30, 2020; about the death of my grandmother, I don’t really know the specific details on when she died. My family is always busy with the things that are important to them, we usually don’t eat together because we are busy or not in the mood to eat in a certain time well we do sometimes eat together during important occasions. We are currently having hardships especially regarding to financial problems. Even though we are not perfect and experiencing hardships in life, we are still trying to survive and trying to achieve our goals in life.

Pause For a Thought: My Dream in Life

When I was still an elementary student, I dreamed on becoming a successful civil engineer; creating structures that can survive in different disasters and can shelter a lot of people while protecting them from the disaster. Until today I still want to become like that. I kind of experience a lot of hardships when trying to achieve this dream, I sometimes don’t understand the basic knowledge  I need and I get anxious whenever I felt that I don’t have what it takes to achieve it. Despite getting anxious, I still find ways to enhance my skills and learn.

Take Away in Lesson 10

To lead and establish a community is hard especially when a person has its unique characteristics. It takes a lot of steps to establish a community, it needs cooperation, good communication, coordination between community members and an excellent leader that can guide them in pursuing their shared goal. Being a leader does not only mean being on the top of every members and order them aimlessly, it is to guide by taking charge in order to achieve the goal. A leader listens to every opinion then choose and take action in what is best for the community. They don’t trample their members with fear because of their status, they motivate their members to grow and become an excellent individual they can be in life.

Love Language: Acts of Service

After answering questions from the given link, I was able to acquire the results of it. The result shows that my love language is the act of service. I do agree about the results since I despise people that are only good at words but does not take any actions. Words of comfort are not enough for me, I would need someone that can help me whenever I am overwhelmed with my responsibilities.

Love Story

It all started when I played an online game recommended by my classmate. The game became one of comfort zone because in the game I don’t feel scared or anxious to other people’s gazes when trying to talk to someone. I met a lot of players from another country, I had friends, and I met my partner in the game. You can really say that we are in a long distance relationship; he is from San Remegio, Cebu, Philippines while I’m from Bayabas, Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines. Our relationship is already 3 years and 8 months and still counting. Our relationship also is not all about sunshine and rainbow we also experienced a lot of struggles like misunderstanding, lack of communication because we had a lot of things to do in our life and being anxious when we don’t have any updates about our situations because of long distance and we can’t help each other physically. Despite the struggles, we still find some ways to fix it.

Take Away in Lesson 4

Our lesson 4 in Personal Development subject is all about adolescence stage. Adolescence can be an exciting period to a person or a frightening period in this period, a person experiences a lot of challenges in life to grow up. A person can experience a lot of challenges it is either they break down or improve because of these challenges. When facing challenges in life, it could develop initiative in a person; the initiative can help the person in pursuing their goals. The development of the initiative can be affected by the mastery of experiences and support from the person’s family and friends.

There are a lot of issues that a person can experience during adolescence age, they can have issues like physical concerns, eating disorders, substance abuse, alcohol abuse, teen pregnancy, peer pressure, rebellion, career options, academic concerns etc.. In order to avoid experiencing these issues a person is in need for someone that can support them while facing their challenges during the adolescence stage like their father and mother supporting them when facing the challenges and a person also needs an effective communication.

Adolescence stage may be hard for a person because of the challenges but a person can't grow when they only experience easy things, a person can only grow when they are able to overcome the challenges in life.

What are those things that you've received but you weren't thankful for not knowing it's a blessing from God?

Maybe the thing I received but I weren’t thankful for not knowing it’s a blessing from God would be my skin. I sometimes hate seeing my skin and compare it to other people’s skin. I don’t have a clear, scar less, smooth, and fair skin; I have a lot of pimples not just from my face but also at my back, I got a lot of scars in my body especially at my legs and hands, and I think my skin color is not nice because it is not balance. I get insecure and frustrated because of my skin and I had a hard time accepting myself because of it.

Day 2: Pause for a Thought

Q1.  Have you ever met a person who seems to be so complex that it is difficult to fully understand him or her? In my life I’ve met a lot of people that seems to be so complex that it is difficult for me to fully understand them. The first person that I would mention for the most complex person I’ve met would be my sister, second person would be my mother sometimes, and the last person would be myself.

Q2.  What makes this person a complex character? I consider my sister as a complex character is because sometimes she would suddenly get angry when I don’t follow what she wants and sometimes she would be annoyed to me when I speak the truth; I don’t know if I should lie to her so that she won’t get annoyed or just still speak the truth despite her being annoyed but I still do get along with my sister. My mother is also a complex character because when she gets angry she will always ask what was the reason I did that and whenever I answer her question she would see me as disrespectful but when I don’t answer her questions she would also get angry because she would think I’m not listening to her; I should always avoid things that could make my mother angry. I consider myself as a complex character for me because I don’t know myself very well.

Day 1: Pause for a Thought

Q1. Do you know yourself? Do I know myself? To be honest I don’t know myself very well but there are some things that I’m quite sure about myself. First of all, I am a shy person. I get shy when meeting or talking to new people or older than me, and I am also shy whenever  I ask questions or ask for help. Second, I like to see how artists draw their artworks, watch anime, play online games like Genshin Impact and Touch, and draw even though I’m really not good at it. Third, whenever I’m stress or drained I sleep a lot and I crave for chocolates. Lastly, I don’t easily trust other people. Q2. How did you learn these things about yourself? I learned these things about myself based on my own experiences throughout my life.   Q3. Where did the information come from? The information came from me. I don’t easily trust other people’s compliments, observations, or opinions about me because some people are two-faced. Q4. Do you like what you know? I don’t entirely like what I know about myself. The part where I don’t like is where I am a shy person when meeting or talking to new people or older than me, and shy whenever  I ask questions or ask for help. The reason why I don’t like it is because I miss a lot of opportunities; I do wish I could overcome being a shy person.
