Hey everyone! I am John Patrick M. Valerio, but you can just call me Patrick. My hometown is Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija, yes, there's no specific area 'coz my parents are both separated. I currently reside here in AGL Heights, Brgy. Caalibangbangan, Cabanatuan City. I was born on the day of my birthday, December 22, 1999. If you do the math, that's 20 years of me existing.

When it comes to my strengths and weaknesses, oh, I am telling you, there's a long list waiting. First, let us focus on my weaknesses. There's a lot but I'll just drop some. I am very indecisive yet very independent, but sometimes, I will still ask for other's people opinion. I hate it when people are watching me, it triggers my social anxiety and makes me very uncomfortable, I am also struggling not to say "no". Now, let's see my strengths. So as I have mentioned above, I sometimes ask for other's opinions, but I am trying to cope with it because the less you give a 🤬 about something, the more you will express and know yourself, you do you, period. Another strength of me is that I am nice. :)

I don't want to give a high expectation to this class, I just want everyone to pass this course. We just need a comfortable environment and enjoy the rest of the semester with a lot of knowledge.

So here's my opinion about Academic Freeze, I think it would benefit both teachers, students, and their family. Imagine how financially affected everyone is during this pandemic, especially those who aren't privileged enough. Also, the mental health of every individual is highly affected by a really long self-isolation. It would be great if we take a break for us to recover, financially, emotionally, and physically. As a student, all I can do is to voice out even though we aren't heard, adapt, overcome, and to survive.

Hi Ma’am! I am Melanie Joie Lynne Romualdo - Mizona, incoming 21 years of age this October 19, 2020. I live at 572 Salazar St. Magsaysay Norte, Cabanatuan City. We all know that every human being has their own strengths and also their weaknesses. Therefore, my strength is being a loving daughter and sibling, thoughtful to people that I really love and having a brave heart to face tough realities. On the other hand, I easily gets annoyed especially when it is hot. And also, I easily get hurt in small things like telling harsh words to me, hearing rumors about me that is not definitely true, and can’t change people’s minds who believe it. Additionally, seeing my parents sad at some times because I know where they are coming from. But because of that, I turn my weaknesses into strengths. I am expecting in this class, that it would be interesting even if it’s online and there’s no pressure in it. To be honest, I am not satisfied of what’s going on in our country, there are a lot of people who are suffering because they don’t have enough money to supply the needs in studying online classes, engaging suicidal thoughts especially students, and in my own perspective, I am not into gadgets when studying therefore, I need to double my effort to keep up and not to be left behind. Even though, I want the academic freeze, there’s no way but follow the government.

Strength and Weaknesses : flexible and hard working/ I struggle with criticism

Personally, I would recommend online courses to anyone that has a busy schedule, such as having a full time job or having family responsibilities. Also, you are able to learn well by doing the required work on your own, without depending solely on interaction with other students as a means of learning. Online courses are a great alternative to the student who must hold a full-time job while enrolled in college. Online courses are not only convenient but they teach you how to become a more disciplined.

I've learned that to be a successful distance learner, you have to be self-disciplined and able to work well on your own. Since you won't be physically going to class each week, you can take part in class from the comfort of your own home. You must be self-disciplined because the instructor wont constantly be there to remind you of assignments or of project deadlines. Other obligations may mean that you are not able to do the work as regularly as if you were physically attending class, it will be up to you to make sure that you are keeping up with all the work for the course. Also, one of the main objectives of college is to become a well-rounded individual, with the skills needed to successfully manage a busy agenda.

Finally, online classes fit my lifestyle, because I am not a traditional student. If given a choice I would take all of my classes through the Internet. Online classes have saved me money and time. Also, online classes allow me to work, to be a son, and it allows me to be a full time student. My experience with online classes has been a rewarding, learning experience.

I'm Anjelyn Gubatanga, my surname is pronounced as "Guba-tangga". I l reside in Sapang, Jaen Nueva Ecija, a not-so-civilized place. I'm 21 years old and I was born on 14th of January, 1999.
Assessing my own strengths and weaknesses are not easy. But I like recalling and reminiscing all the memories I have shared with my loved ones. I feel secure and happy with them. I can accomplish such things knowing I have them. Not being too reliant but not being alone inspires me to do such beautiful things. About my weakness, I can admit that I'm lacking of confidence and self-esteem, which blocks my own self to do and pursue my dreams or leaving my comfort zone. There's nothing more painful than knowing the antagonist and protagonist of your story is inside of you.
I'm expecting to learn so much things in this subject that I can corporate with the field that I'm taking.
I am very vocal about online classes and I want academic freeze, not because I'm lazy but because I think it is not effective. I respect teachers and they do their best and I know they are affected as well due to this pandemic. I also think about those who are less privileged people because they are suffering the most during these hard times. I just wish the gov't and the authority will recognize the hardship of everyone esp the marginalized people and what's the reality outside of the castle where they live.

Hi, ma'am. I'm Omandam, Dianne Joy, I lived in the Province of Nueva Ejica in the Cabanatuan City and I was born in the 14th of August, 1999. I just turned 21st last month and because of quarantine i couldn't spend my birthday with my friends, so, i've decided to spend the whole day with my family and it was priceless. I used to be upset whenever I didn't get a chance to meet my friends on my brithday but I chose to understand, be patient and contented of what they can offer. This quarantine taught me how to be strong alone and to be contented what's already on the table. Since we're all still quarantined, even the classes will be asynchronous. There's this subject that caught my attention, Cognitive Psychology. Though it sounds familiar, I still find it interesting when it comes to Cognitive. I'm looking forward to gain more knowledge about that subject. But since it will be asynchronous classes, it will be difficult for some, includind me. Not everyone has an access in the internet or even have technology, tons of people lose their job due to Corona Virus, which lead them to not being financially stable and not everyone can learn using technology, it may be easy to some but how about the others. On the other hand, tons of teachers will lose their job if they implemented academic freeze.

Hi, that's my name above but if you're having a trouble of pronouncing my name you can also call me "Ashley". I live in Villa Benita Subdivision, Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija. March 10, 2000 is my birthday, I am now 20 years old.
My strength is being friendly, hyper, and always aggressive (just like an anime character named Naruto Uzumaki, while my weakness is getting sick/ill.
Three things that I expect from this class: (a) The whole block/section that I am in will cooperate everyday, (b) Our prof would never leave us even hard times, (c) This class will make me successful in the future.
Seriously, I really hate online class, then I realized that time should not be wasted. I am the only one in our family that still in school, my father died (only breadwinner) last year, November 22, 2019. His death taught me that time shouldn't be waste(d) even if  you have all the things that others wish to have. Our source of income was from the money he left for us, if I didn't push to school right now, I think it will consume more time and pain on our family in our future. Soon I will be the breadwinner of my family, I accept the challenge to continue the journey of my father. To survive this online class, we should remove the over reacting issues we have, because in the first place, if you want to survive in any phase, you should believe in yourself. The success is in your hand, not on others. After we survive this online class, we should help the others that didn't go to school during this pandemic due to the lack of income to buy laptops and wifi(s) No one should be left behind. No comrades should lose hope for their future in tough times.

Oh hello there! I’m Charmaine V. Villeza. I’m from Papaya, San Antonio, Nueva Ecija. My mother gave birth to her youngest daughter a.k.a me on October 5, 2000. So if you do the math, I am currently 19 and about to turn 20.

Well, thinking/knowing about my own strengths and weaknesses is a lifelong task so I’ll tell you my new found ones. My strengths include me being an organized person when it comes to my own stuffs. I also think I have an excellent memory. I remember most of my friends’ birthdays. Though it doesn’t work whenever I am studying, but the birthdays still count right? Anyway, my weaknesses. The most recent weakness I found out about myself is that I am not good at explaining things verbally. I have the best explanation in my mind then it’ll be all gone the moment I open my mouth. Another thing is that I don’t work well under pressure. Yeah, what a bummer. I like the song though.

My expectation for this class is simple. I expect it to feed my brain with knowledge that I can use and apply in my future career and in my daily life.

About the online classes, I think it’s just another baggage to carry by not only the students but also their parents during this pandemic. Not everyone has a comfortable studying environment at home and most importantly, not everyone can afford the materials needed for it. I just hope the government remove their rose colored glasses to see this and do the things that they have to do. Though, academic freeze is still not granted. The decision can still be made. For the meantime, the only thing to do is study and endure the struggle that comes with it while being vocal for what I believe is right and speaking for those who cannot.

Hi! I am Patrice Joy Buan Valdez, turning 21 this coming 24th of November. I live in Bonifacio District Cabanatuan City. I can say that I already have a lot of strengths, otherwise, my life would be over. So here is a list of my strengths: I am a very joyful person, I laugh even at the simplest jokes. I have a positive outlook in life, I always look at the bright side of every situation that I am in. I find greatfulness in my heart by helping people. My friends or those people that I've met often say that I am a kind person, a good friend and that I am fun to be with. Apparently, I also have my weaknessses. I tend to be hurt easily by negative words especially when someone insults my appearance and when I feel like I don't belong. It's also hard for me to fight for myself most of the time. I always felt afraid to speak my mind. But even though I have these weaknesses, my strengths overshadow it every single time so I still look forward to living my life to the fullest.

I know that it will be hard not only for us students but also for the professors to share their knowledge regarding the lessons during this time of pandemic. But I still look forward to learn a lot from this class. I expect that there will be flexible ways to make us understand the lessons easily and conveniently.

I am one of those students that is hopefully fighting for academic freeze. Online class is not for everyone because not everyone is priveleged to have the gadgets and stable internet connection. We put a lot of effort in learning during normal classes because it was already difficult enough, so what more during online classes? As a student and as a daughter, I have to make adjustments and triple my effort so that I'll still be able to learn even at home. As a citizen of our country, there is nothing that I can do but to just accept and comply to the instructions given.

Hello, everyone! I am Louerry Claire San Agustin, I live in Malate, Palayan City. I am 20 years old and I was born on 28 th day of November 1999. All of us have their own distinct strengths and weaknesses, I find it hard to evaluate myself when it comes to this. For me, my strengths are being openminded to a stranger, I’m thoughtful and caring to my friends and family, I am also determined when it comes to accomplishing my goals and tasks in life. For my weaknesses, I am a couch potato and a lazy person, I don’t work hard if no one will motivate me. I am easily demotivated and I tend to overthink trivial things.

Even though it is just an online class, the expectations that I have in this class is to have fun and learn a lot of things in this subject through a flexible learning. I hope this subject will help me to become a successful career woman someday. Moreover, I am not fond of using gadgets while studying because I am more a traditional learner that’s why I am against with this online classes. It is hard to focus during online class because of the noise and pressure of being left behind. Also, not everyone has the same privilege to have technology stuffs, stable connections and money to pay expensive tuition fees in college because we are greatly affected by the pandemic. I’m still hoping that the government would implement an academic freeze but I know it will just happen in my dreams.

Good day, Ma’am! I’m Blessing Keziah G. Feliciano residing at #1239 Rizal. St., Brgy. Nabao, Cabanatuan City. I just turned 21 last July 30. I am the youngest child, so some may assume that I’m a little immature and childish, but surprisingly, I’m the opposite. May I just say that I have the best siblings in the world and not to mention, I will be the prettiest aunt soon.

It’s actually hard to enumerate my strengths especially if I really don’t know what they are. But according to my loved ones, they see me as a hard-working, thoughtful and talented person. Personally, if I really want something to be done or if I’m interested enough to do something without doubting my capabilities and without the pressure, I would whole-heartedly do it. The talented part is just the singing and playing instrument. I’m not really proud of that. There’s one weakness that I know of myself that is self-doubt that keeps me from doing my work properly. You know, there are times, the doubts inside my mind hinders me from enjoying the things I used to enjoy.

My expectations from this class are just to acquire more knowledge and information about Cognitive Psychology, and just enjoy learning even virtually.

To be honest, I actually had the consideration of not continuing this semester. Just by thinking of online classes, the need to provide a stable internet connection and the materials needed are really stressing not just me but my family as well.  But now I am here, striving and supported by my family by all means and all ways. I am just blessed to have a supportive family. Though I couldn’t stop thinking about other students who wants to learn, but couldn’t just because of insufficient support. That’s why, even though this semester requires a lot of time and effort, I will make sure to not waste my time and persevere to succeed in the future by God’s grace.

Good day everyone! , God is truly creative, I mean… just look at me, my Name is Riza Joyce DC Sumaguio. I was born at the age of zero and have survived as a successful living organism on this planet until the present day. I’m a good person. Though I may not be rich and popular, well what's beyond that I think is all that matters. I love to dance, sing, and draw, I am gifted with the knowledge of where to find the exact location of every food item in the supermarket.
I have traits that are BOTH my strength and weakness depending on the situation and who I’m with. I’m a very vocal and concise person. I get straight to the point and get my message across so I find that this kind of prompt communication will save a lot of time than beating about the bushes. This generally works fine until the more oversensitive folks would say the way I put it may come across as too direct/straightforward.
Also, I’m an organized person and strict. I label my files and folders. I list down things/notes that are important to me or helpful for others. I don’t think this is OCD but I would expect things that are borrowed from me to be put back at where it was taken or in the condition when I last saw it. When people don’t comply, I feel the need to set this rule to remind them. To them, they think I’m being calculative instead. And my biggest weakness is procrastination
I highly recommend academic freeze because I'm the one who has affected oh this pandemic job loss no stable internet, need to borrow money to lending and need to live far away from my family to continue my study and pursue my career to cope up I always sleep, exercise and drink a lot of water to stay positive and calm.
I expect from this class to become more attentive and have to care for each other Also I expect to learn new things to add up my knowledge about cognitive psychology for my brighter future.
Allow me to close this with my introduction: “Hello! My name is Riza Joyce Sumaguio i live at camp Tecson San Miguel Bulacan where there is no signal at all. I was born on the 10th of February,2000 I’m 19 years old plus 1 equals 20 years old and I love it when people are truly happy”

Hi! Before I begin I hope you are all doing fine and safe. To start off, I know most of you already know the basics of my abouts, such as my name and the like, since we’ve been walking in the same path of pursuing Psychology. But still, let me intrduce myself and later on dig a little deeper into my personality. So yes, as you can see above, my name is Danica Joy L. De Luna and I am gratefully existing and blessed for two decades now, I was born on year 2000, 5th of January and currently residing here in AGL Caalibangbangan, Cabanatuan City.

Now get your shovels ready because I’m about to unleash the side of me that I chose to buried, and that is my weaknesses. First, my self-esteem and confidence. I find it hard to present myself to other people, I often overthink even with small and stupid things and yes that’s the second on the list. I do worry to death. On the contrary, let me show you a glimpse of my roots, a part of me that serves as my source of strength. So here’s few. I am an organized person, all of my stuffs and files are properly arranged based on my preference for I can’t really work at mess. Also, here’s the thing I am proud of, I do work under pressure, most of the time, especially when we’re talking about school works I often do my tasks motivated by its deadline. A day or a few hours will be enough for me to do my works creatively and skillyfully.

Moving on, since we’re on a new normal I don’t really expect much, not just in this class but also for every subjects in this whole semester. Based from what we’ve experienced months ago, we can’t really deny how difficult and ineffective online class is. But above all, I know this particular subject will be as interesting as it is, that I will gain a loads of knowledge that will be beneficial for me in the field I’m taking.

Lastly, I know most of us got no choice but to cope. We are being forced to adapt and not to waste the academic year, even though that the quality of learning isn’t practically the same. We are all suffering financially, physically, emotionally and even mentally due to this pandemic but what can we do? It seems like no matter how loud we shout for academic freeze, still the government will and always be remained to be deaf. For now I guess, let’s just pray that everything will soon get back to the real normal. Again stay safe everyone and see you all soonest! 🤗

Hi virtual classmates and prof! Im Clarisse, 'C' for "Candescent" for I am glowing and dazzling inside! Unlooked-for, I have found an applauding characteristic in me to irradiate in this dark crisis, and that's I glowed emotionally and mentally.

I am 20 yrs old, residing at San Mariano, San Antonio, NE. Born in 1999, day 8th in this very month of September.

Being understanding and conscientious are proud strengths of mine. However, I am lacking in technical skills and standing in high grounds can be difficult for me.

I am expecting that this subject will introduce me to a great mental grasp on how human mind processes, takes in, and acts upon what the world proffers.

In my judgment, online classes have no assurance of academic learning. That's why the only assuredness we can offer to ourselves is being a self-motivated student despite the troubles of online classes. An accountable child, and a benevolent citizen who appreciates and encourages diversity in this struggling country. Let us not squander the opportunity to learn despite the challenges presented by the pandemic, but be more of an active participant in our own learning.

Keep safe and glowing!

Hi, everyone! My name is Princes even though i look like a slave.  I'm the youngest and the only daughter of my parents, that's the reason why they gave me that name. I'm 20 years old, residing at Mangino, Gapan City, Nueva Ecija. I was born in the 14th of December, 1999.
I'm fully aware of my weaknesses but i find it hard to evaluate my strengths. So i'll base my answers on how my love ones see me. According to them, my strengths are being cheerful and supportive friend, a loving and caring member of our family, and i also have a merciful heart. For my weaknesses, i am pessimistic, procrastinator and i'm always doubting my capabilities.

I am expecting that this subject will help me to acquire more knowledge about cognitive psychology. Looking forward to understand the study of internal mental processes and at the same time praying that everyone will pass this subject.

Honestly, i oppose online classes and like other  students i want academic freeze. Although my parents are not affected of "no work, no pay", my concerns are with those people who are not privileged and can't cope with the new learning system. But i/we have no choice but to abide in the government's decision. I know i am beyond blessed 'cause i can afford this online class and i have a supportive family with me, now i am willing to double or even triple my efforts just to cope up with this new learning system.

Hi! I'm Beley, Araliese Nicole E., currently residing at Tikiw, San Antonio, Nueva Ecija. My mother gave birth to this always looking awkward and out of her own planet alien girl on January 27, 2000 and yes, I'm 20 years old but when I went to places like malls I usually introduce myself as a 1999 baby.

How should I describe myself? I am a girl who lacks confidence in any aspect that I kept wasting opportunities, resulting to procastinate a lot. On the contrary, I'm emphathetic and symphathetic at the same time, straight forward and motivated sometimes. I can't be that motivated for too long if I have a storm to pass through. I think that was people says that weakness can be your strength and vice versa. I honestly don't know how to put it into words since people often tells me that I'm this kind of girl and this is my not so good personality.

As I read the module given to us ahead of time, I must say that there will be plenty of memorization and such. But hey, its Cognitive so I'm excited to why people do this and do that kind of stuff. I remember telling someone that I pursue Psychology to quench my thirst for my curiosity, and hoping to pass and learn a lot about this topic.

I don't know what approach should I do, should I be sarcastic or tame? This online class thing has its own advantages and disadvantages:

Advantages:
1. I think the "no eating in class" is not applicable here.
2. More time, more lectures to be used in the future.
3. You really can't be late or absent in class now that your parents is monitoring you.
4. You can practically lie down in your bed while listening to lectures.

Disadvantages
1. The internet connection
2. Going to school for some stuffs and wait in the long que with people not minding the distances
3. No allowance policy of the parents
I'm not that heartbroken for the last one.

As the citizen of this country, you ask the wrong person. I don't really care about the society now and its issue because I'm dealing with my own issue. I seldom watch news and use social media because of the level of toxicity it have, so I watch netflix.
But I need to pass and in order for me to pass I need to exert more effort than my usual study and chill routine. I SHOULD double my EFFORT.

Have a nice day!

Hello!

I'm Andrea Sandoval Agustin, but just everyone else I prefer to be called "Andeng". It was 18th of June 2000, Sunday, when I came out of the womb. Twice a decade happened and is celebrated this year. I am currently residing at Zone 4 A. Bonifacio Sur Llanera Nueva Ecija.

So far, my most pleased strength would be, me being an open-minded and caring. Because i know that it is what the world needs right now. I'm also an organized person, my friends could tell. Solid procrastinator-- you can blame my brain cells for being active one day before the deadline/s.

On the other hand, I'm a lazy sleepyhead. I can sleep when and wherever I want. I am no good at math, but when it comes to allowance, I could be your calculator in times of need. Aside from mentioned, I am having trouble when speaking in crowd. There goes my quivering voice. Makes me want to run away and puke.

In this class, I am expecting that it will feed and satisfy the hunger in me to grow confidently as it may serve as my foundation to my future. Aside from that I do expect that it would be enjoyable despite being virtual and will help me love psychology even more.

In my opinion, online classes is really a life challenging and a big adjustment to people and society. It isn't for everyone. As it requires a lot of effort and materials to used. The unstable and poor connection is the main reason why it is clearly ineffective. Academic freeze is the only option left for the safety but it seems like we weren't heard by the administration, our voices were rejected. The only choice is to try alternative ways to deal with the new normal.

We may embrace the changes because it's the thing now but it doesn't hide the fact that we were being chained, again. So don't stop being vocal.

Stay safe, everyone!!

Hello everyone, Lady Trixia is the given name to me by my precious parents and I belong to the Miranda family.  You can find me at Poblacion, San Isidro, Nueva Ecija. Although my name isn’t known here, just say it plus daughter of the firefighter. On Thursday night of April 20, year 2000, my mom gave birth to me and to my twin sister. Yes, two children were added to the population that day. Currently 20 years old now.

Well, if we talking about myself, I tend to think a lot of weaknesses than strength. One of it is that I’m easily get irritated on simply things, like I answered your same question twice and repeated it again? and boom it’s either I walk out or stay silent. Another is inclining to see things negatively. I have no idea how to change it yet at the end of the day, it always turns out to be positive. For my strength, people see me as considerate and understanding. How ironically as I said above, I get irritated easily but one thing for sure, I don’t hold grudges to anyone.

I expecting that it opens up more knowledge for everyone and of course, cope to new normal like flexible learning thing.

Online learning isn’t suitable to the country especially not everyone affords to have the materials. Honestly, I don’t want to enroll this semester however, many students join, so here I am. The only thing I can see to cope in the situation is to put lots of effort and determination to learn and finish it. Everything changes through time; we just need to adopt it.

Good day Ma’am and fellow classmates, I’m Karen Joy Sison but in my social media accounts I’m Joy Sison. Not the dishwashing liquid just to be clear. I changed my name to Joy because I want something new in my life, and changing my name is one of them. If you guys ever called me Joy then I assure you I’ll bring joy to your life (insert heart emoji).

I am a resident of Purok 3, Sumacab Este, Cabanatuan City and I live here for almost five years. I’m 20 years old. My birthday is on October 30. Which is pretty close (i like sour belt candy, it’s just a hint) and I’m in a year of 1999 and my zodiac sign is Scorpio.

Determining my strengths is not easy to be honest. Because of the amount I have gone through I can’t determine what my strength is/are. But in my journey I learned that life must go on. I have my friends and family that I love very much. They gave me the strength, happiness and motivation to start and try again where I was in a situation where I wanted to give up on life. And the strength I have is being patient which was not easy but eventually I overcome it. The weaknesses I have are that I lack self-confidence, are ashamed of everything, and I get irritated easily.

In this class/subject I expect that my Prof will do everything to deliver the lessons through online. In a way I can fully understand and apply it to myself. I also hope to expand my knowledge about my course because I am willing to know everything. And I believe in my prof that she can do it! (Fighting ❤️❤️❤️)

To be honest, I was actually one of those students who was still hoping for the academic freeze. There is nothing wrong if they freeze the academic this year. Because it is all for the good and safety of other families and students. Online classes are ineffective and not everyone is privileged to have gadgets to use and a stable internet connection to access for online classes. The Government should listen to the students expressing their concerns because they are the ones who are having difficulty and have experienced how difficult it is to study in an online class. As a student of a prestigious school in Cabanatuan and as a daughter, sister I have to give my best in whatever situation I am in— in this online class. To learn and to survive this school year is one of my goal. And as a citizen of my country I will do my best to finish my studies so that in the near future I can help my country as well as my fellow Filipinos.  For now I will just accept that my expectations will not be fulfilled.

Thank you for your time. Have a great day everyone! Don’t forget to have joy in your life ;)

Menudo is one of my favorite dishes that relates to me very well. My name is Angelica Rose Capoquian Esporna and i love food.

Let me talk about menudo, cooking menudo involves several main ingredients that are almost equal in amount, pork, carrots, potatoes and a little bit of hotdog all mixed in a creamy tomato sauce. Like me, aside from my love of food im also interested in traveling and love of cultural diversity with a little bit of party girl inside. At the age of 19, a young woman living in Barangay Mambangnan, San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija my adventoruos heart longs for exploration especially now that we are under a strict no-travel lockdown.

However with all these pandemic problems that we are experiencing i was raised by my parents to be strong-willed and optimistic. But deep inside this strong image that i portray is a lazy sleep head (just kidding).

Students and teachers are giving their full efforts to deal with this kind of set we have right now, so i am expecting that all of us can give a vice-versa consideration in terms of school works.

I'm really trying my best to adjust to our online class and be flexible to deal with this set up. I am motivated by the love of my parents to get through this, to push harder and become a good student to be to have a bright future a head of me and serve my country.

Hey everyone, I'm Micah Gwyneth G. Nogoy  but I would love to be called by my nickname "Gwen" the cousin of Ben in the animated TV show that I love to watch back then on my childhood days (what's up mga batang 90's) hehe. I reside in San Roque, Cabiao,Nueva Ecija and I was born on the 3rd day of the 3rd month of the year 1999. I am now living the best days of my 21 years  here on Earth.

Going back to my one of my favourite animated shows (Ben10) We humans have  similarities to heroes. We have strengths and weaknesses. As for me, I think my strengths are I have the determination to learn something new that would improve my self. I am trustworthy coz' I won't able to have a good sleep knowing I am deceiving someone. I am also creative in terms of arts and crafts. On the other hand, my weaknesses are, I easily get irritated when there is too much unnecessary noise around. I'm having trouble asking for help coz' i don't want  to bother anyone. It always matter to me what other people would say, and last I am lacking of self esteem and confidence.

In this subject, I do not expect piles or loads of works that are not useful in our everyday lives nor in the field we take. I expect to have a chill but understandable discussion and activities that would make the students soul awakens from this misery that we experience because of pandemic.

Actually, me myself don't know how to cope up with the things happening around us. I feel sad for my friends that could not persue their dreams because of the crisis. I support the academic freeze campaign but looks like the government is determined to start the school year even though we know that we are not ready at all.

I am lucky to have a parents that would support me through this, Our Almighty God who has a huge contribution to my mental instability.
So I am also trying to help myself to be productive and do things that would help me not to think things I cannot change, rather do good things for a change.

I hope everyone is fine! GodBless

Hi, everyone! I'm Kim Alyanna Pablo, you can call me Kimmy. Born on July 6, 2000 in Diliman, Quezon City and living in Esguerra District, Talavera, Nueva Ecija. It's really hard for me to identify my strengths and weaknesses but I will just say what my close friends has been telling me. Let me start on my weaknesses: I easily get frustrated and annoyed, when I say easily I really mean it, my patience is thin like a paper. I kinda like procrastinating/cramming because in that way my brain thinks faster and better (I'm trying to be more organized now 🙃). I hate recitations/reporting anything that will make  me the center of attention, it's the social anxiety for me. So as for my strengths: I could say that I like helping other people even though we're not that close I just feel so delighted when I helped someone out. I like reading! So it doesn't matter to me even if the professors are making us read many academic related books. Lastly, I don't know if I should consider this as a strength but I'm an introvert! I really don't have any high expectations on this class as we are on online classes, I just hope that there will be something that I can learn here that I could use in the future. My stand on the online classes right now is that I hope we have more budget from the government for the academic freeze, because how could it be pushed if there will be thousands of people that will lose its job. It may have pros for me because I don't have to take jeepney anymore but it's really hard because not everyone have the certain means to push through this flexible learning. Fortunately, my mom provided me with everything that I need. In terms of coping, I don't have any problem on being in my room all day yet I know that I shouldn't be thinking just for myself but care for those who's still struggling on the lockdown since March. I guess that's pretty much it. Have a good day!

Hi ma'am, hi classmates! I'm Colline Jvencel Manalo, you can also call me Jven or Colls. I live in Imelda District, Cabanatuan City,Nueva Ecija. I was born on May 16,2000 and turned 20 years old this last summer.

Humans are all created equal but what makes each of us unique is our own personality and abilities. For me, my uniqueness is that I don't share a lot of opinion and do more a lot of action. The one that always strengthen my personality is i am more an observant than a listener. That's why each of my family members ask me for advice whenever there is a family problem, and i love hearing every details and addressing the problem and after that all became better. One of my weakness is  failing, and it gets me really upset every time i fail in different ways and end up having suicidal thoughts and negative thoughts.

I enrolled at this subject because i expect to be more knowledgeable in psychology and to be more aware of taking care of my mental healthy and someone's mental health. Enrolling during this pandemic is like a gambling, i really don't know how long can i play this game or can i even pass/win this subject? I don't know but i love to try and want to finish my study so badly. As a student I find online classes really frustrating and so much pressure than the actual classes, in actual classes my classmates being there with me and having their presence gives me the strengths while here when my classmates talk about something online that I'm not aware of, I always panic and always have this thought that I'm late and I'm now gonna fail and the next thing i know, I'm having suicidal thoughts. As a daughter i'm scared that i might disappoint my mom when I failed the class. It's so hard to earn money right now and i do not want to put that money in to a waste that's why I'm trying so hard even it puts me to stress to cope up with online classes. Anyway, i know all of us are battling in different ways during this trying times, even teachers have a hard time coping up with this online classes too, and we, as a student, appreciate every thing you do to provide and help us to cope with online classes and to learn and understand the course we chose.

Introduction:
Danica Agustin Rigdao was born on October 25, 1999 at Purok 1 Gomez Street, Brgy. Poblacion Dingalan, Aurora. She gave great happiness to her parents because she is the "unica hija" of the family.
She is quite introverted, she need and cherish alone time; she like long, quiet walks and runs; she very much "in her head"; she tend to be shy and quiet; she dislike crowds and gatherings. She is an awkward person.
Being an introvert is what she considered as her strength and her weakness at the same time, because of its pros and cons.

Expectation from Cognitive Psychology Class:
I expect to learn more about the scientific method, how to evaluate sources of information, and how to think critically about the information you encounter on a daily basis.

Reaction about Online Learning:
I am strongly disagree about having online class because first of all the internet connection here in our province is very poor, plus I am only using a mobile phone and also prepaid load.  If only there is a module based learning instead.
But I realized that I don't have control over everything, but I do have control on how to handle things and what's going on in my mind, and I chose to see the good in this new normal. I'll just do my part in participating in the class as a student, I'll do every possible way to cope in this current situation. No excuses.

Hi everyone! My Name is Ma. Manuela Shaina Marie P. Esguerra, you can call me ela for short. I live at 119 Brgy Aguinaldo Sta. Rosa Nueva Ecija. I was born 6th of February 1998 and Im 22 years old.

My strength is when I am with my siblings bacause my parents are dead. They are the one who encourage me in all the trials we will face together. My dogs are also one of those who make me happy and give me strength to me everyday.
My weakness is to face a lot of people especially when speaking in front of them. I am confused I am running out confidense. I try my best to face it but my chest trembled first.
My expectation to this subject is that i will learn a lot ang provide information to us.
For me the online class is depends on if you have money you are in favor of the online class being promoted. But if you do not have money you are not in favor of it. But for me education is important to our youth but if most of us can't afford online class bacause of lack of money. We need academic freeze first so that everyone can keep up.

Tañedo, Nicole R.

Hi! I'm Nicole Ronsairo Tañedo. I live in Lawang Kupang, San Antonio, Nueva Ecija. I was born on the 10th of September . I'm 19 years old,turning 20 in nine days.

In my 19 years of existence, I discovered my strengths. First, I'm a very observant person. Second,  I'm a procrastinator. I consider it as my strength because as I procrastinate, I become more creative. Ideas comes in my head quickly. Cramming really works on me.

My weaknesses are: First, I'm not good in making conversation. I lack social skills. Second, I lack confidence. I'm always shy and I become clumsy when someone watches me.

I don't expect much because expectation leads to disappointment. I only want to enjoy this subject as I learn new things than can be helpful in the future.

For me, online class is really a struggle. It is really hard for everyone but we don't have a choice.  To be honest, I'm one of those people who is waiting for academic freeze. As a student, attending to a normal class is really hard and now that classes are online, I find it more harder. So I think I'll need to double my effort to learn.

Hi! I am Marion Lorraine A. Estrellado, residing in La Torre, in a neighboring town of Cabanatuan City, Municipality of Talavera. I was born on October 01, 1999 and will turn 21 soon.

Most people that I have met see me as a jolly and strong person. However, there is a downside to that. Just like a typical adolescent, I also struggle with insecurities in regards to my appearance and ability. I can say that some of my weaknesses are having a low self-esteem and thinking a lot about others’ opinion about me making it hard for me to make decisions. On a lighter note, I can say that my strengths are being jolly, independent and having to get through awkward situations with my blabber mouth.

Although everyone knows that online classes are not that effective compared to the traditional way, I am at least expecting from this class to learn something and for our professors to be considerate with the students. With the ongoing pandemic, I am deeply disappointed that the government didn’t allow an academic freeze, since online classes are not effective, costly, and anti-poor. I believe that learning should not be discontinued. As a daughter, student and citizen of this country, I will cope with this trying time through educating, helping others and being a voice.

LETTUCE start! Hi, I YAM Trina but most people call me Tami. I am the youngest and I have two older brothers, which explains the legend behind the name. OLIVE in Bongabon, Nueva Ecija where I grew up from a sprout to a literal giant beanstalk. I was born on November 25, 1999 so unfortunately I won't be living 20 years old forever. My honest strength is generosity, like when someone asks for help in general or financially, before I get to think of it thoroughly, my palm is already out and open, to which even I AP-PEACH-IATE myself. My weakness is that I tend to blame myself on almost every RAISIN, because I'd rather be disappointed in myself than to people, it's unhealthy unlike my puns so yeah I still have to fix that. Some emotional CABBAGE going on there. Anyways, I expect to learn a lot (like a typical student would say) and given the circumstance that we're in, I hope we all get to be more considerate towards each other's concerns, I MINT it. With the ORANGEMENT that is happening through adjustments in the education system, I'm still adjusting, we all are. I see it as a test of resiliency, I just have to do the best in my part as a student, even though we BARLEY got something, we can still TURNIP to something purposeful, I just have to be grateful that there's still a way for everything. We just have to BAYLEAF we can all make it, and we'll do a GRAPE job. Let's BEET this together!

Hello Everyone, Hello Ma’am. I’m Ma. Kriselda Ann A. Diaz. Born on January 13, 2000, 20 years old from Santa Rosa Nueva Ecija. My family and some of my closest friends used to call me “Ydda”. Actually, I’d finished my 1st year of college at Our Lady of Fatima University but for me, some things didn’t go well for me there so I decided to transfer here in Wesleyan University. Before when I was in high school, I have lots of friends, I loved to get socialize with lots of people until I get into college, things go different. Not me but maybe I just realized that things we’re not the same anymore as when I was in high school.

To be honest, I am not aware of what are my own personal strengths but people used to tell me that I am a very warm person, trustworthy, and has a great sense of humor hahaha but when it comes to my weaknesses, first, I have very low self esteem, I even lost lots of good opportunities because I always doubt my own capabilities. Also, I’m having trouble of saying “NO” to others even if sometimes I knew to myself that I can’t make it but because I don’t want to disappoint anyone, I will still do it for them. But still, I’m a very open minded person like you can talk to me about anything without any judgement.

I am expecting to learn more what goes beyond inside people’s minds, including perception, attention, language, thinking, consciousness and everything about Cognitive Psychology in a way that it will be fun and more interesting and exciting.

As a citizen of our country and as a student, online classes or online learning is quite hard and new not just for me but for all of us. We all knew it will be very different cause we are all not used with this kind or way of learning and teaching but we don’t have a choice right now. It’s either to stop or continue. I knew it is unfair for those who can’t be able to enroll this semester and I feel sad for them and as of now all we can do is to help each other emotionally, mentally, and financially as long as we can.

Hello! I am Jessilie O. Orogo, you can call me Jessi from Imelda Valley, Palayan City. Born on September 19, 2000, 19 years old. To me, I think my strengths are being capable to adjust in my environment, and can easily cope with other people, understanding, loveable. My weaknesses are that I can get easily hurt even with a small things and cry easily about it, sometimes I also  get the wrong choice because of my sudden decision and didn't think about the outcome. I was also a sensitive person and can get 🤬 off immediately. In these times, which is they considered as new normal they allow online classes in our country as the way to deliver lesson, learnings,  and knowloedge for their students. The problem is not all of us can afford or can keep up the pace of this platform. I also agree that the only way to end this was academic freeze but officially the government think that our country can do what others can, such as online class. As a student we must think first whether to enroll or not regarding and thinking of our own situation. If we enroll we must think of our parent also and help them in the way that we can while we our studying and doing online class, so that we won't be a burden to them. Even though  sometimes this trying time are such a burden to us, we must look on the positive way and believe that will back to normal and these pandemic will end soon.

Hi, my name is Joymee Mamaril. I live in Cabiao, Nueva Ecija. I just turned 21 last August 3. One of my strengths is that I am a jolly person and I find it easy to be friends with the people around me. However, my weakness is introducing myself with new people, I tend to stutter and find the situation awkward.

I expect this class to help me understand perception, learning, memory, and thinking as the pdf that has been provided for this course said. I am hoping that despite of our situation, this class will help us all students to pass the board exam and obtain knowledge that will help us in our future career.

Online class is a lot different from the traditional class. Technical and other problems sure will come our way, but then again, we can't do anything but to continue learning. I am grateful that I am able to enroll this sem and join this class, that is why I have to do my very best to learn.

Thank you. Keep safe!
PS: Sorry po late. Kakajoin ko lang po sa group kaninang 11:40pm

Henlo, I'm Andrea Jane D. Cabral, currently living in San Isidro, Nueva Ecija. My birthday is on March 24, 2000 and I'm 20 years of age. Memorization is one of my strengths but sometimes I hate it because even bad memories are stuck in my mind. I know this may sound cliche but seeing my parents getting older is my weakness. It's been a couple of years since I applied as a Student Assistant in my campus and it's really tiring to balance my academic and responsibility for work, but I know my parents are way more exhausted and that keeps me going. This subject is very interesting, I'll get to know how the mind works and how it entitled as an information processor. We are all adjusting to this new normal and it also affects the education system. This will be hard especially those who aren't privileged to have a gadgets or good internet connection. At first I was hesitant to enroll in this first semester because I have an old phone and a not so good signal. But my parents are always helping me to continue my education. They've been working hard to buy me a computer even though my mama is still in her mild stroke. I don't know how to thank them because words aren't enough so I thought reaching my dream title and job will be soon enough.

Sorry Ma'am if this kinda super duper late haha. I forgot to add my entry last night because I watched kdrama :(( I won't do it again if I have a pending school works hehe. Hope you also consider this late entry of mine. God bless you po! 💖

I'm Beatrice Dayne Penelope Guerrero Bulandos from Santor, Bongabon, Nueva Ecija. I'm 20 years of age, born on the 23rd of May 2000. I can be very passionate when I when I give it my all, often overly friendly and severely quick to be comfortable in conversations with others when prompted, though I do lack management in priorities and time and often get lost in thought without much prompting.
I'm expecting to learn knew horizons and open up new questions. When I heard it was going to be online, I'm honestly anxious. Though I do wish to better my situation and try to manage time as best I can.
