WRITTEN WORK 

1. Who am I as a person?

    Back when I was still a child, I used to be satisfied with whoever I was. It was not like I was pushing myself too hard, although I tried to work harder. When I started getting older, however, things changed. Even though there was nothing wrong, I started thinking about it. I started having issues with myself because of this.

    At first, starting high school was not so great for me. I was not at ease getting out of my comfort zone. That time, going through a lot of experience, moving to a new country and coming back, it was very nerve-wracking for me. As time went by, however, I began to get used to the environment with my friends and family. It was not as serious as it was before, but I still had trouble trusting myself.

    It was not until recently that I found myself as a strong individual. Although I was appreciated by others, I finally found the courage to really appreciate myself after years of always putting myself down. It felt good that I was able to finally breathe freely without constantly nit-picking every single thing I hate that could make me hate myself more. With this, I learned how to keep on living my life without having too much worrying about the past, my insecurities, or having second thoughts. 

2. How do I react when someone backbites me or talks something bad about me?

    If someone talks badly about me, what I would do during that time, is to question them about it. There must have been a misunderstanding which needs to be resolved face to face. However, if things do not work out, then I would simply let it be. I do not need to bite back at them because I have already done my part to fix their problem with me. Trying to get even would only make it worse so I will just ignore them and think of this encounter as motivation to why I should always keep moving forward. However, if they continue to spread negative things and it starts affecting others, I will then tell an adult and ask them on how I should handle this person.

3. What are my weaknesses and/or vulnerabilities?

I found that I often overthink things to the point that it affects the way I work, which is not really a good thing. Because of overthinking, I often underestimate myself that I can finish the project on time, and this causes me to procrastinate even more. Fortunately, I have been trying to change this habit by giving myself some rest when I start to think that everything is starting to feel exhausting. I am trying to not pressure myself with second thoughts and self-doubts of not being good enough. I also remind myself that I should always do my best but never put myself down whenever I do not get the result I want.

    Another weakness of mine is that I often rely on other people’s opinions when it comes to certain problems. With this, I was having trouble of trusting myself that I can do good. To change this, I started to believe in myself that I can handle this thing on my own. I remind myself that although I have friends and family that are ready to help me out in a problem, I should not rely on them on everything since it is only me who can really solve the whole thing. Although I am still in the process of working these things out, I can say that I am a better person now.

WEEK 2 - Discussion

Discussion Exactly 5 sentences only. How do you show your attraction, love and commitment to your loved ones? Enumerate each and explain.      I often try to express my love for others through words and gestures as I think that is it essential for every relationship. I often show my affection through words of affirmation since I always want to motivate them through tough times. I also often express my love by giving a lot of hugs, since I want my loved ones to feel warmth and comfort. I always try to lend a helping hand mentally and/or physically, because I want them to know that I will always be there in times of trouble. I also try to show that I respect them by always trusting them, being honest, and showing kindness all the time, since I believe that everyone deserves to be treated this way.
