Week 14: How can I meet unfulfilled needs?

Week 14: How can I meet unfulfilled needs?

# data[].attributes.body
When I first read what this week was going to be about, I couldn't really understand how needs could meet community service or helping others. After doing the activity I realizad that doing community service does not always mean sacrificing something, it means doing something you like and helping others do it to. While doing this I realized that I had come to the end of this class and looked back to find out how much I had learned about myself and handling the way I am, I am very happy with having taken this course and have really liked interviewing others who have gone through the same stuff I have.

Week 13: What level of stress is appropriate?

Week 13: What level of stress is appropriate?

# data[].attributes.body
This week was about dealing with stress and the importance of this, I think that sometimes we get stressed for unnecessary reasons and this is due to handling stress in an incorrect way. Having bad stress management translates to a life in which you are currently trying to handle stress instead of proceeding in your life. I have a hard time handling stress because I just leave my problems for the last minute and then have to deal with them in the worst way. I learned about this week that it is better to face stress head on and it was also interesting to interview people I admire on handling stress because Iearned that this is normal and everyone needs to learn to handle it.

Week 12: How do I deal with my emotions?

Week 12: How do I deal with my emotions?

# data[].attributes.body
Ever since I can remember, I have had trouble dealing with my emotions because of the fact that I am a very quiet girl and have trouble expressing my feelings and how I feel towards people because I feel like they will judge me and that I will damage our relationship. As I have grown up I have learned how to deal with my emotions in a better way because I have learned that it is okay to express myself. This lesson taught me that this was okay and that dealing with our emotions was very important because then they get bottled up and they come out at the wrong times and it makes everything worse. This week was very valuable to me and I think I will be referring back to this articles in the future when I have trouble.

# data[].attributes.body
As soon as I saw what this week was about I got really excited because It mentioned serving your community and what this actually meant. This was very significant for me because I had always thought about serving my community in many ways but during this week I learned how important serving your community actually means. Besides, I really liked doing the volunteer interview and learning how people I admire have learned how to volunteer throughout their lives and the importance this has, specially in a community like mine in which I have been so blessed and feel the need to give back to those who haven´t been as blessed.

Week 10: Will my family support my dreams?

# data[].attributes.body
After going through this week, I can say that the thing I liked the most about it was the description of my actual life and then comparing it to what I want to be in the future. I came to the conclusion that history does tend to repeat itself and that this happens even more when we grew up in a really great way because we want the same for our kids. I was amazed to find the minimal things that I would change as compared to my family life now. Also, I liked continuing the interview of two members of the same household because it made me realize the importance of thinking about the other and the reason behind their actions because people often think very differently even if we don´t realize this.

Week 9: Are you willing to pay the price?

# data[].attributes.body
During this week, we had to read the short story Hope for the flowers, I have to admit, at first I thought that it would be pointless story but after reading it completely I can say that it really did leave a deep message in my mind. I am at a point in my life where I have to be making important decisions about what I will do when I graduate high school and often I am too scared of change to even make these decisions so this story motivated me to not be afraid of change and embrace it instead. The interviewing of two members of the same household was interesting because it showed me how different people can react to the same event and made me wonder how my personality might affect my reactions.

Week 8: Is there more to life than money?

Week 8: Is there more to life than money?

# data[].attributes.body
This week was very interesting in my opinion, because it talked about how important money was to one´s life. I think that in my life money isn´t such an important issue because of the fact that I am still living with my parents and they provide most of the things I need for me. Because of this, when we did the needs vs. wants document, the things I spent my money in were mostly wants. I wonder if my reaction to this lesson would change if I was at a point in my life where money was absolutely crucial for me, because right now I believe that money shouldn't be a motivator.

Week 7 was all about analyzing people you have admired throughout your life, this week provided a great insight to my life because I always knew which people I admired but I didn't really know why, so I think it was very interesting to be able to explore the reasons behind this. Also, I would like to share how I told my father about this assignment and showed him the table with the people I admired and he was so happy that I thought he had all this qualities, which in turn made me very happy. Also, I liked the what would you do scenario question because it gave me the opportunity to asses my values and compare them to those of others.

After completing the lessons in Week 6, I can say that so far, I am very fulfilled with what this class has taught me because it has made me explore who I really am and the things that I truly value. I have really enjoyed looking at all these diverse subjects, for example the exercise of going through the things we value the most in groups was very interesting because it made me realise the strong influence our cultures and the ways we grew up can influence who we will become when we grow up. Finally, during this week I was very interested to see Maslow´s Hierarchy of needs because I found it to be completely true yet very simply describing human beings.

Week 5: Is there such thing as an American Dream?

# data[].attributes.body
After going through the lessons in week 5, which were all related to the American Dream, I found very interesting information. I realized that for me, a Colombian, the American Dream represents an ideal that going to live in America will bring a new life and will mean immediate success, I do not agree with this idea because I believe it is a shield for people not to make enough effort. It was really interesting to see what other people thought about this concept because for most of them it meant hope and achieving everything you want out of life, which might have made me change my drastic thoughts on this subject a little. Anyway, I still believe that in the future, everything will be globalised and there is no sense in believing that the USA is the chance to be succesful.

# data[].attributes.body
This week was very diverse and touched on many different subjects about who we are as people and most importantly why we are this way. The things I liked the most about the week were analyzing what my core values were because I got to look at who I was as a person and also why I believe these things to be valuable, I found that my parents have influenced me very much on this area because I value things that they have always told me are important and that I see they value on their daily lives. I really enjoyed the way the week closed by writing a document about who influences me because I found that my friends and family are huge aspects of my life even if I sometimes fail to believe this.

I found this third week to be really interesting and useful towards my personal growth, especially now that I am being faced with the fact that I have to choose what I will probably be doing with myself and my career for the rest of my life. One of the lessons during the week was the "What would you do" scenario, after reading through it, I reflected lots on the type of person I have become and realized that I would like to be very humble and respectful throughout my life and this question made me think that I am already on the way to get there. Next, I really enjoyed taking the personality quiz and finding out all the different characteristics about my personality and what this meant for my life, I also liked discussing this with my classmates because I found people who were similar to me and also complete opposites.

After going through the lessons of week 2, I am very happy with this course because it has made me reflect on decisions and the process that should come with them. One assignment that I really liked was the Metacognition assignment and watching the video, I wasn´t familiar with this term before reading about it but what I found interesting was that I sometimes did this reflexions without actually knowing that I was doing them. I reflected lots on this and found that when making any type of decision or having a thinking process it is important to reflect on this to be able to make the most informed decision possible. I still have some questions such as: Does metacognition happen on its own or does one need to be trained to do so? and How do the activities we engage in influence who we become as a person?

After going through the lessons in the first week of VHS, I feel like I learned a bit about what this class might be about and I especially liked the "What would you do" question because it made me reflect about my values, morals and how I would act upon them. I also found very interesting that I was able to read different person´s responses and find out how we differed in our opinions. I think that this course will help me be more focused on the future and how to be the best me I can be.
