To my dear future self, I am now on my last steppingstone to completing my journey in my high school life. College is right around the corner. I have no expectations, but I fear what will happen to me. Though this is posted in the early part of my Grade 12th journey, I also hope to enjoy myself with the people around me and still be with them as I reach adulthood. I hope you're okay out there and remember that you're doing this for us. <3           - Your 17th year old self                                                                                 "FA2: DEAR FUTURE SELF"

In my infancy, I was small and new to this world. My dad took care of me while my mom worked. I felt the love and care from my family, enabling me to trust them during this stage. I felt secure within their care, making me hope for good things for the future.

A year or two has passed, and now I'm a toddler. I learned how to crawl and even walk in those years. Using my will to talk and explore with my relatives during this stage played a good role in my progress in familiarizing myself with my environment.

Nursery was introduced to me during this stage. I initially felt lonely, but I was already socializing with the other kids my age. I knew my purpose here was to learn while having fun with newfound companions.

Elementary school remains one of my core memories. I grew bigger than before, learned a lot, and pursued excellence through my competence. I've learned my worth and capabilities at such a young age. I know my strengths and weaknesses as part of my growth. I realized my potential as I grew older.

Now, I'm as big as ever, selective of my circle, still competent, and consistent with who I was before. Understanding myself is a process I can accomplish as I reach adulthood during this stage. Many lessons have passed, people have left, and ongoing tasks to finish, but I am reminded of how they shaped, shaped, and will shape me towards the future.

1. Was the subject Personal Development helpful for you? How did this subject help you know yourself more?

Yes, I know that Personal Development is still an academic subject that requires efficient learning. Still, this subject has taught me more about my emotional self, the depth of my feelings, and the importance of caring for myself and others. I was able to express myself more, despite not liking to be vulnerable, not only with myself, but also with my loved ones.

2. What were your key takeaways from the subject?

My most significant key takeaways would be the name of the subject itself and how I will be able to use my learnings from it. "Personal Development" isn't a term that can happen overnight. It requires concepts, experiences, and reflection to accept things as they are and how they will shape us. It gives us the ability to decide which is better for our own "Personal Development" and enables us to grow for and with people who value us.

3. What two topics were your favorites and why?

Mental health and well-being, as well as "What is Love?" are my favorite lessons because of their context regarding one's overall health and perception of the world, people, and especially oneself. Though common, I believe that it still deserves to be talked about, especially here in the Philippines, knowing that even though there are many posts about mental health and love, it still isn't recognized and appreciated enough. Recognizing their relevance, especially in our generation, allows us to move closer to unity and open-mindedness.
