Personal Development

Yesterday I did some self-study because I wasn't able to join our meeting due to an unstable internet connection. Our lesson is “Monitoring One’s Career Development” which contains life goals, career planning, and career development. In this lesson, I learned a lot of things that I can surely use in the future especially now that I am a graduating student. Generally, when you are a graduating student there will be some questions that will confuse your mind like "what course will you take in college" and you will be inevitably confused and wondering if "what kind of course do I want to take?" or "can I achieve this course?”. I can relate to this as a graduating student, these questions are unavoidable and sometimes I can't help but think in depth what course I will be taking. Until now, I'm still confused and I can't help but feel pressured because I have a little time left to think and decide on my future career. My desired career is that even if I am tired, having a hard time and have restless nights because of my work, I would still be excited to wake up in the morning with a smile on my face.

Personal Development

Today we tackled “Building and establishing a harmonized relationship with the family” and I have learned a lot from this lesson. Especially this quarantine, we are all stuck in our houses, not allowed to go out and roam with our friends. Though nothing has really changed between me and my family, the bond that we have, we are like this even before the pandemic comes but I have learned to appreciate more all the moments we have now. Even though we are all struggling in different situations right now, we are not afraid and tired of fighting because we know we have each other. Instead of becoming rebellious or talking to them in rebellious ways, we must always be willing to listen and understand their side rather than complaining. When you are feeling down or you have a problem, don't hesitate to talk to your family. Instead of choosing your friends to hang out with or talk to about your life problems, why not try to open up to your family in such a way that your relationship with them becomes stronger? We must practice balancing our time between family and friends. Always remember that building a good and healthy relationship with others starts with the family. We must be open to criticism and be transparent.

Need some advice? Here are some tips to help you strengthen your bond with your family:

Communicate effectively

Spend time together

Open up and be honest

Show appreciation

Last friday, our teacher mandated us to do a virtual group study with our classmates and I wasn’t able to join our meeting due to unstable internet connection. So I decided to do some self study in our lesson “Building and Establishing Harmonized with the Society/Community” where you can think and reflect to yourself on how you handle and get along with your neighbors, family and other people. You will be able to know how to build a healthy and good relationship with your peers or how strong your relationships are with the people you associate with in the society/community you belong to. You will also know your status in the community whether you are qualified to be a good leader who holds a good position and has a big role in the community or maybe you are one of the followers who provides valuable support for the leader.

Lately, we tackled “Building and establishing Relationships with others” and I’ve learned a lot from it. I have learned that love has many forms and has many ways and it is not only limited to couples and family. In this topic, I've come to realize that the foundation of a happy and healthy relationship is not only love but it’s also establishing great connection or communication not just to others as well as ourselves.

I just found out that there are five languages ​​in love and they are -- receiving gifts, quality time, act of service, words of affirmation and physical touch and for me it is very important that you know your receiving and giving as well as your partner and loved ones. I just found out that my primary love language is act of service which means expression of love by serving. I am touched beyond words whenever someone helps and accompanies me when I am having difficulty with something or when I am sad and having a hard time.

Anyways, if you don't know your primary love language yet. Well, this link is for you! Try it now!

Lately, we tackled focusing on the psychological health and it made me realize that a good life isn’t a competition that you need to win and achieve, yet rather it is a cycle of process that we must continuously be involved with for us to freely move forward and to live an authentic life. Having a good life starts with being an appreciative person that expects nothing but appreciates everything and enjoys the little things.😊

Today, I do some self-study for our remaining lesson which is developing efficient learning. This lesson focused on our brains, at first I was confused and wondered what its connection to our subject is, which is personal development. In our ppt there is a question indicating "Why is the brain considered as superior even to the most powerful computer?”. So basically the most powerful computer known is the brain. Well, it's not surprising and shocking at all since the human brain possesses about 100 billion neurons with roughly 1 quadrillion — 1 million billion — connections known as synapses wiring these cells together. No wonder how we can easily collect, organize and memorize a bit of information. I had fun reading and familiarizing the different parts of the brain and their main functions. I've come to realize how amazing and fascinating our brains are.

Personal Development

Teenage life will always be stressful. Stress is a natural emotional or physical tension— and we all experienced it. From balancing schoolworks and school demands, having self-doubt, frustrations and being pressure due to having too high expectations are already too much for a teenager to handle. Moreover, going to college and deciding on what career you want to pursue is even more difficult. As a teenager, I easily get stressed every time I do something passionately and wholeheartedly then the result wasn't good enough compared to what I've expected. I am under a lot of pressure every time my parents and relatives talk about my future career because I feel like I’m still not prepared that I still need to decide what I'm going to do with my life because I always think that even if my life is planned out, things might change and I don’t want to regret my decision. For me, deciding on what to pursue in college is the hardest decision to make, it could either make you or break you. Choosing the right path could be stressful and tough but remember that, it is all worth fighting for!💪💪

I saw this on facebook and I feel like I have to share this!😊

Personal Development

I sometimes wonder what life could be without daily challenges but then, it doesn’t really make sense. Challenges and problems are an integral part of life. We always wanted a smooth and peaceful life with no hardships, no struggles, no obstacles, no purpose where life is dim and pointless. Who wants that kind of life? For me, challenges and problems have their own roles in our society and that is to help us grow wiser and stronger, just like us, humans, our roles in society are to become mindful and dedicated to overcome and surpass the daily challenges that we are facing. I rather live with challenges and problems that will give me new learnings and experiences that will be able to help me discover my strengths, capabilities and skills as a person. In difficult times, we can always seek help from others. I've realized that having someone who never gets tired to support, comfort, guide and help you in any ways they can is rare and blessing so always appreciate them. Daily challenges have shaped and made us into what we are today. Deciding on what career I will be choosing for myself in the future is my toughest decision to make as an adolescent. Making life decisions has always seemed difficult especially when your parents have contradicted them. I’ve realized that it only takes healthy communication to settle a problem like this. By simply talking and explaining to them your thoughts and also by listening to their sides will prevent miscommunication and misunderstanding.

Today we tackled two different lessons about how young people enter the phase of adolescence and how adolescents deal with their daily challenges in the adolescence stage. In these lessons, I've learned how young people continually grow following a certain pattern of growth and development to fully transform into adolescents. From being a young person who makes simple choices, many misconceptions and having trouble understanding the differences between facts and fantasies into being an adolescents who are independent and strong enough to make right decisions and have their own unique ways to face and handle responsibilities. Growing up, we are being pressured and expected to fit in our society’s standards that we needed to achieve in order for us to have a better life but then, as we grow older we are able to determine what's good and bad for us that no matter what, our society can’t dictate us. What matters the most is how you see yourself, set your own standards. Keep in mind that we can always live in the society without living in society’s standards. Be youuu!🙂

Since we are tasked in our previous lesson which is “Getting to Know One’s Self” to simply make a sketch, drawing or a collage that illustrates our unique traits, habits and experiences that should be presented in the class. Today we introduced ourselves through a sharing activity, I tend to think and know more about myself and I got to know my classmates way better than before. They shared some of their pretty cute and unique habits, personal traits and experiences in life. Some of them love to travel, to edit pictures and videos, to sing and dance. While waiting for my turn, I was able to think deeply about myself with full concentration of what makes me unique from others. I found out that I am an adventurous and a fast learner person and I just realized it lately because of this activity. I always loved to try and learn different things alone. Doing and learning new things makes me experience something different, it gives me chills and satisfaction. Honestly, by the time we were tasked to do this activity, I was truly having a hard time in thinking what traits, habits or experiences that made me unique or interesting and I’ve come to realize that I wasn’t really paying attention to my capabilities and skills as a person. We sometimes tend to forget about ourselves, we don't pay much attention to ourselves, to what we are doing particularly, whether we love it or not. I realized it is very important to discover things you like or don’t like. Try and learn new things. Learn about yourself.

⏩I‘m kinda’ shy but yeah, here’s my first ever collage!

Today, we tackled “Getting to Know One’s Self” in our new subject, Personal Development. I was able to learn a lot about myself not just my personal traits and characteristics but I was able to understand myself way more deeper because of this topic. In this captivating topic, you will be able to draw some conclusions about yourself or you might realize something like “How do I see myself? How do I classify myself? How do others see me? Or more likely “Do I really know myself?”. Well basically, these are some thoughts that came up in my mind after learning this topic. I have learned that knowing yourself is very important for you to become confident and independent. Always remember that being beautiful means being yourself, but in order to be yourself, you must have to know yourself first.
