“Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school”

-Albert Einstein

Education is an opportunity given for every man to be used as a key to success in life and knowledge is a gift for our mind. Learning is the process of acquiring new or modifying existing, knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, or preferences through experience. Education is the most powerful thing that a human can have that can be used to change the world. Being educated means everything to me because I feel that I’m lucky enough to have this kind of knowledge and skills that can help people to change. Having this knowledge and skill requires proper education and learning process. Your knowledge doesn’t pops up then you already know it. It requires learning and being dedicated. I’m very thankful for my parents that they raise me with the right knowledge about things. They taught me the good things to do and the bad things that I must avoid. In order to survive this world we need to be educated. To sum all this up all I wanted to point out is you don’t learn everything in school, sometimes you learn from the reality of life.

Success doesn’t come along, it requires hard work and dedication to reach your goals.

We all have a goal in our lives that we wanted to reach, in order to reach it we must have a plan . In having our goals we need motivations to reach it. Goals motivate people to develop strategies that will enable them to perform better. In setting our goals, we need to know what we really want to achieve in life in order to be successful. Goals are classified into two types: Short-term and Long-term goals. The short-term goal is the goal that you can achieve within the day,weeks or months, the long-term goal can be achieved in more than a year. A good example of this is being a student. My short-term goal is to pass all my exams and quizzes, and my long-term goal is to graduate college. There are some factors that may affect on achieving our goals. The first one  is Values, this is what we consider important or worthy for us. It affects our decision making therefore it affects our behavior on achieving our goal the another on is  Needs. Having needs means you lack in something. this will make us to act to be able to fulfill our needs or goal.

Christian Lois Lange ones said that “Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master” . I believe that the technology is taking people lives nowadays because the technology or gadgets became need instead of being want. We can see people all over the world that has gadgets everywhere you glance all you can see is the people holding their smartphones while walking or taking the train. We our to dependent on the technology, I agree that technology makes us to do things easier and faster but technology taking people’s lives is not a good thing. I admit that I’m also using technology but I’m having a limitation on using it because this ca lead to bad effect in our lives. Using social media gave us fun and satisfaction. A good example of this is by uploading a picture of yourself in Facebook, if you have only a few likes in your photo you become unsatisfied because you wanted to be in on whats the trend on the internet but if you have a hundred likes you become satisfied and you feel that you are in the trend. Many people has this kind of attitude. I suggest to change this kind of attitude because likes on your photo doesn’t make us more belong in the group but it only makes us satisfied. To summarize this topic all I think for us is not to be addict in technology in the time you cannot live without technology.

According to Buddah  “Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.” Understanding our Spiritual self is a thing that is being more connected to the universe. It means that we are searching for the purpose of our life. The Spiritual self is an aspect of our inner peace that connects us to the sacred. By searching for the purpose of your life you can find the deeper meaning of your life. In my experience I still look for the meaning of my life. As a Roman Catholic I do religious practice everyday, for example I’m going to school I do sign of the cross every time that I ride the jeepneys or van , I believe that this religious practice is helpful because God is guiding me through my journey to school. Another thing is I go to church every Sundays, me and my family always go to church every Sunday as a Weekly routine to thank Lord for the blessings that he gave us. To sum this up I learned that looking for yourself is the way to be sacred and everyone has a purpose in one’s life.

 

According to Kendall,  politics is a social constitution through which power is acquired and exercised by people and groups. Having Power in politics is the most important thing that you must have if you are a Politician because without it it will be a trash government. Nowadays specially here in the Philippines there are a lot of problems or unresolved issue. Being involve in the politics is a big factor that can make your government better, the people who wanted to become a politician must have a potential to make a change in the government , the way it runs or the way they manage the people in their country. Political self is developed through socializing, when I was young I didn’t rally have an idea what is going on with the government but it is an eye opener for me to become a citizen who will help to improve and manage the community. Without us the citizen the government will be useless, so use our power wisely because it can help us to make the country better.

 

According to James, self is everything that an individual considers to be his or hers, not only his or her body and material possessions but also his or her reputation and beliefs. In my own opinion the things that we have doesn’t define us. Yes, it makes us more happier when we get what we really want but it doesn’t mean that this things show us who we are. We know that the things that we have will reflect who we really are . Materialism means that we give more value than material things rather than our intangible values. In this activity we are assigned to make a list of all the liabilities and assets. When I’ve done this activity this made me realize that I’m lucky that I have all the things that I wanted , I’m lucky because some people just want some food but all I do is demand what I want but not needed. After this activity I feel contented because my parents gave me the things that I want and need. Another thing I learned about this topic is to differentiate the things that I need and what I want.

As time past by we still don’t know who we really our because there are two side of ourselves that we can’t determine what should we use to interact with people. We still can’t make the decision and still confused.

Multiple self or Unified self explains that we all have two sides of being our self and it depends who are we interacting with. A great example of this is when you talk to your parents and the way you talk with your friends , I can tell that there is a big difference when it comes to interacting with different people. Another example is when you have the both side of being self in different days , for example this day I’m not that loud and talkative to my classmates while the next day I was so crazy and loud and starting to have conversations with my classmates. Sometimes I was being false self because of hiding all my problems to my friends but still makes people happy even I have problems that they didn’t know.

Winnicott stated that the self consists of the true and false self. The false self is like a wall that hides and protects the true self.

 

 

Make a list of the items you and your parents commonly bought at the supermarket

• Rice
• Milk
• Eggs
• Hotdog
• Chicken
• Fruits
• Vegetables
• Canned Goods
• Bread
• Junk Foods

Based on the list of items, how healthy do you think are the food that you are eating?

I think that the food that I intake is enough to give me a boosting energy for the rest of the day, I also think that it is balanced because there are some healthy and unhealthy foods that I eat.

If you look into a mirror, How satisfied are you in the way you look? What you like and dislike the most in your body?

Honestly speaking I’m not satisfied to the way I look because I’m too thin in my age, and also I also want to gain weight and be stronger or be buff for playing basketball, I also dislike having acne and pimples all over my face. The part of the body I dislike the most is my arms, because they are too thin for me because I am playing basketball.

How are you treated as a boy or girl in your own family?

I was treated as a grown man in the family, I do all the responsibility of being a man because my father is not here to do things like this, for example our faucet is broken, I go to the hardware to buy some things that is needed to fix the broken faucet, I also do household chores and help my family.

What are the do’s and don’t as a boy and girl?

As a man, my family still thinks that I’m not a grown man , they still get mad if I went home in the middle of the night or go to far places without asking their permission, they still get mad if I drink alcohol because they don’t want me to be a drinker and not finish my study.

When do you think is the right time for you to get married? What harm it may cause you to watch pornographic material? What are the characteristics of the person you will fall in love with?

I honestly do not believe in the “right time” in marriage, Once you fell in love with someone , you can’t control it at all. But I think the ideal time to get married is when I finished my college,find a stable job and give my parents back all the hard work that they’ve done for me.

Watching pornographic material can harm us in terms of being so curious. There are many asked questions in your mind that you can’t answer, so we became curious and try it because the things that we watched satisfies us.

For me there are no characteristics or standards of the person that I will fall in love with simply because once you fall in love with that person you will not see her imperfections but rather see her as a perfect woman for you. But the ideal person that I will fall in love with a being simple, caring, has fear in God, smart, kind.
