Process Questions:
1. After doing the activity, what have you realized?

    I realized that even though I am only a part of a few organizations, that does not mean that I am not as active as the other people within our community. I have always to be more involved in more youth organizations that advocate for the masses, the environment, animal welfare, and more charities. However, I think that I will stick with these organizations first, as I am still trying to learn how to manage my time as a student and org member. Joining organizations have taught me that as a member of the community, I should always dedicate my time and work for the masses, and for all the advocacies I believe in. And in doing so, I believe that I can contribute more to my community and be a part of the progressive change.

2. What do you think are the characteristics of a good leader and a good follower?

    I think that both a good leader and a good follower must posses the values of patience and democracy. Both the leader and follower should also be flexible and adaptable, in order to achieve their work through obstacles. A good leader must also possess integrity, self-awareness, ambition, courage, gratitude, empathy, and respect. Then, a good follower must have loyalty, professionalism, honesty, ego management, and a good work ethic.

3. Are you a good leader/a good follower? Explain your answer.

    Although I have only been a leader for only some time, I think that I can say that I am both. For me, being a good leader and follower does not mean that I am always “perfect”. Being a good leader and follower must always be open to learn and be criticized for all your mistakes to grow as an individual, a leader, and a follower. As one of the heads in our organization, I always take my responsibilities seriously as this is for the sake of our group. And as a follower, I always listen, follow my leaders, and work within the organization with pride and integrity.

4. Who influence you most to become a leader or a follower? And how?

    Growing up, I have always wanted to be like my mom. She is my example of a great leader and a follower as I see her grow more and adapt to the different jobs she had. She was a good leader, as she was good at leading people towards success, like when she led her journalism students to NSPC way back her time in Sacred Heart College. My mom was also a good follower, as she brought out the best of her manager when she worked at the United States, which made her earn a bit of a promotion. Because of this, I wanted to be like her, a woman with ambition, drive, empathy, courage, and respect.

WEEK 7 - Reflection

 PART 1: 1. About RESPONSIBILITY: Are there things that I have done that were irresponsible? How did I/can I correct those things so I will not do it again in the future? We can never stray away from being irresponsible at times for it is a part of growing up. Since I was a consistent honor student, my family always expect that I am always at the top of our class. The pressure brought unto me made me feel conscious, especially with my grades as it felt like I needed to please them. Another factor that made me feel pressured was that they would always compare me to my mother, who was an academic achiever up until college. When I started studying in Quezon Science High School, the pressure doubled as my family, especially my grandfather, expected me to become a top student because they see that I am “special”, and just like my mother. However, there was a time that I wasn’t able to carry anymore pressure, which made me lash out on my grandfather. I was triggered by what he was tellin...

         Career planning pertains to a process in which there are a series of steps that will help you assess and determine your short-term and long-term career goals. This process involves taking time to decide what your goals are and how you’ll achieve them. As an adolescent being able to plan your future ahead is essential as it will give your more determination and time to prepare for what is to come. However, for me, planning my career is more difficult since I am an indecisive person.  As someone who is still not sure of what to take for college, it is crucial and important for me to try and assess my plans as the time for college nears.       There are a lot limitations that can be a setback towards your career-planning, such as financial stability and assessing "practical" choices. An example of this was when I was thinking of pursuing music. I was so persistent in wanting to become a musician, which made it harder for me to swal...
