ALYSA MAE B.

BAYTAN 1 BLOCK-B
Activity 2

 How much of you are essential? How much of you are now product of society, community and
family?
As a human being, I believed that all of us are essential in different ways.
Treating yourself how essential you are depending on you because you are the one who
knows your true self, it depends on all of us on how we give worth and value ourselves. I
also believed that I am so damned essential because I am able to pitch in good things. As
a person, I am pretty sure that I’m a responsible and functional product of society,
community, and my family, by simply obeying the law or rules and by doing little good
things.
 Has your choice of school affected yourself now?
Yes, but not that much. I know that I will go to this kind of stage of my life and
I’m a little bit prepared for it. Now, I’m in the adjustment level of being a college
student.
 Had you been born into a different family and schooled in a different college, how much of
you are now would change?

Yes, I’ve been born in a different family and schooled in a different school. These
past few years so many things have changed in my life; some are negative mostly
positive but those negative challenges bring a positive one. Before I used to depend on
myself to my parents but in just on click, I became independent. There are times that I
need to face those challenges by myself silently. Despite my good and bad experiences
shaped me into a very responsible and more mature daughter, wife, and mother. Those
are the reasons why I am a strong woman now.

Application and Assessment

1. How would you describe yourself?


 At first, some people think I'm a quiet individual but once you get to know me, my mouth is
like an ArmaLite that won't shut up. I enjoy sharing memories and talking to people about a
variety of things. I also describe myself as a kind-hearted caring person that looks out for
others. I try to help in any possible way as long as I can. Another one, I am organized. When I
am studying, I always take note of "things to do" and a "checklist" for the done activities to be
able to remember what do I need to do. I'm doing this because after my cesarian operation I
became forgetful. And lastly, I am fun loving friend but when it comes to a serious matter, I’m
serious too.
2. What are the influences of the family in your development as an individual?
 Most people, if not all of us, knew that everything begins with our family especially the word
we called “morals”. Our parents are our first teachers and we are the great impersonator of
them. What we see on them is what we do. They taught me how to respect myself and others,
they show me the good behavior and etiquette that I adapted. And it helped me to shape
myself as a good individual.
3. Think of a time when you felt you were “true self”. What made you think you were truly who
you are during this time of your life?
 Every time I’m with my friends I feel so free to show my true self. I’m not ashamed if they saw
my ugly part of my body or even my attitude. I can laugh loudly and cry too in front of them
without hesitation.
4. Following the questions above, can you provide a time when you felt when you were living
your “true self”? why did you have to live like that? What did you about it?
 There were several times that I felt that I am not living my true self in certain people, the true
Alysa that may others truly know. This happens when I know who am I talking with is also not
true to their selves, in short, "plastic". If they are not true to me, I will do the same just to be
fair with them. At that moment I just try to get along with them.
5. What social pressures help shape yourself? Would you have wanted it otherwise?
 Being my mom’s daughter is not easy. We as a daughter and sons of our mother we always
compare to our cousins. It is just because the rest of my cousins are now professionals and has
a stable job, some are teachers, police, nurse and some are already finished their tourism
course. Every time they compare them to me, I felt pity for my mom because she has no sons
nor daughters like what her sister has, though I have a sibling who is finished his degree he
does not have a stable job. But despite everything, I became more determined to finish my
studies so I can make them proud of me especially my parents. This kind of pressure was a big
help to me to become more dedicated and passionate in life. And yes, I think I wanted it
though it sounds not okay it has a deep good meaning to me.
6. What aspects of yourself do you think may be changed or you would like to change? Why?
 For me, I would change my mental aspect of being easy to trust. To trust someone is a risk.
Even you are already friends at last they will take advantage of you. Before I do not mind it at
all since I am friendly, I easily get comfortable with others. But now I realized that I need to
change that wrongdoing. It is because I trust the old friend of mine immediately and she just
ruined my image. It was so traumatizing, at that time I was so depressed, I used to not go out
so people won’t see me. And that is the reason why I wanted to change that aspect.
