Inclusive Education: Accept. Encourage. Normalize Learning Together.

In these times when the word "normalize" are usually used and say in any situation that occur to an individual whose thirst to a treatment that actually a bare minimum however a society can not give. I have many realization after our class discussion in the subject "Foundation of Special and Inclusive Education" about the learners who wants to be included, learn and get their right to educate. A 2017 movie entitled "Wonder" is one of the proof that there are people with special needs or individuals with difficulties that aims for inclusion in education through a proper teaching and appropriate treatment of those who surrounds them. I realized that if it just the government's mandate to mainstream inclusive education and if it just the teachers provide appreciation to all students it can not solve the issue for inclusion but if many can accept the individual whose willing to adapt on classroom, if many are willing to encourage those learners with disabilities to develop more and if many are appreciating and letting those individuals with difficulty to be free for gaining knowledge, inclusive education can finally justify on its own term. An individual with different part of their identity is not the ugly one, but our society is. Ergo, we should break that ugly society we have and learn to give opportunity for those individuals who needs education despite of their condition.

My dream. My goal. My actions to achieve.

# data[].attributes.body
I already knew what I want, I already set my dreams and my goals straight right before my eyes. The only problem is how can I achieve it, to whom I offer my success and what I must do in order to achieve my goals.

While doing this activity on one of our subjects which is "Understanding the Self" I had a realization, we can easily say and think of what we want, but as we grow old and understand the cycle of life it gets hard to know how we will achieve our goal. We can offer it to our loved ones but we must know if we are capable of accepting judgments if they were not satisfied or if they want other things for us.

For me, as long as I understand what I want, and to whom I would offer my success I would thrive until I reach it. No one can stop unless death comes my way. But as long as I know hot to live, I will achieve it.

Having a support system can be a great plan, it will motivate you and you will be heard always. You will get tired but having them by your side will lift up your spirit and you will fight again.

We are not bulletproof and get tired sometimes but for our future and success we will thrive. As long as we seek right help to God we will never fail.

I have a lot of understanding in our lesson on understanding the self, but self-love has been marked on me since I've been related with it, thanks to Ma'am Francene Samaniego, who discusses it beyond positivity and the way her teaching inspires us. Indeed, This topic is for all of us. I appreciate that the teachers taught self-love since many individuals need to better acknowledge and appreciate themselves. By the way, let me share with you my experiences and how I overcame them.

As I grew older, I encountered multiple experiences that caused me to hate myself.

I blame myself for everything that happens in my life, even small inconveniences.

My teenage years were a nightmare since I was surrounded by horrible people.

They manipulated me into apologizing for something that was not my fault.

At the time, I was a minor.

However, they have put me in a situation where I thought it is all my fault.

I assumed it was just part of our friendship and relationship.

I've spent my teenage years surrounded by people who make decisions about how I should live my life.

What I should wear, how I should act in their presence, and what I should think.

Imagine your happiness being determined by the happiness of others rather than your own. because you want to fit in with that group and be accepted by them.

I've never been happy.

For the sake of their happiness, I forgot to love myself.
It all changed when the pandemic happened. By that time, I was alone and realized my self-worth and how important it is to be true to yourself. I started to love myself and reflect. I realized that loving myself would be the first step to being genuinely happy. When I loved myself enough, I began to leave whatever wasn’t healthy. This meant people, my own beliefs and habits—anything that kept me small. My judgment called it disloyal. Now I see it as self-loving.

I realized that it's okay if they won't accept you for being true to yourself. The validity of others doesn't matter; what matters is that you are content with yourself as long as you know that you're not hurting someone. Be so completely yourself that everyone else feels safe to be themselves, too. They will try to make you unhappy. Don’t let them. They will try to tell you you’re not free. Don’t listen. Don’t fall into the trap of sacrificing your self-esteem for affection and acceptance.

You deserve someone who will accept you.

You deserve someone who makes you feel like the otherworldly creature you are. Yourself.
You are beautiful! You are worthy, you deserve the love that you desire! <3

As you can see, I'm doing this non-digital instructional materials with my creativity and my human force.

In doing this activity, I realize that I miss the moment where in we are doing this in a traditional school system, wherein there is no pandemic and we are in the school doing school activities. This became so nostalgic because this is our way in doing our reports, discussions, etc. and this is also the usual that we are seeing before the hybrid learning.

Becoming a teacher is not easy and this moment really helping us to have a stepping stone and not become so confident in digital and online learnings. Human work is still worth doing and our creativity need to be improve. While the pandemic is still here, remember to work on your talents and improve your skills especially that we are going to teach 21st century students and so on in the future. There is no bad in doing digital and online learnings but still remember to work on your talents and skills.

Give your best always. Padayon Future Educators!

I've learned about our personality and capacity to recognize what significant of each individual. This topic helps people to be aware of themselve, especially me, I've learned how to make the best decision in life, and "Understanding The Self" is one of the great advantages to encourage yourself to be good and contented as a person. I am grateful to share my knowledge about what I've learned on this topic because it would people/others overcome different situations that may experience.
