About Me 🩷

jgcrsurposa — 2025-07-02 08:58:57 UTC

Hello! I’m Janica Gabrielle Celine R. Surposa of 12-Chabanel in STEM Pre-Science. I look forward to learning in the subject of Personal Development so that I can understand myself and others. 🌸

Things I like

jgcrsurposa — 2025-07-02 09:04:43 UTC

I like spending quality time with my family and friends. When someone takes time out of their day to spend it with me, it is when I feel most loved. 🌹

My hobbies

jgcrsurposa — 2025-07-02 09:10:50 UTC

In my spare time, I read, write, and travel, and I do my best to find time for my hobbies even if I’m busy or tired so that I can relax as well. Playing video games and listening to music are also some of the other ways I de-stress. 🌼

Career Plan 🩺

jgcrsurposa — 2025-07-02 09:18:28 UTC

I want to be a doctor mainly because I know my family wants to have someone choose that career path. However, I acknowledge that the road to becoming one is long and costly. For now, I plan to pursue nursing for premed and as a backup career path. If I still have it in me, I can continue my studies to be a doctor afterwards. 🪻

My motto

jgcrsurposa — 2025-07-03 03:39:52 UTC

My School 💙🩵🤍

jgcrsurposa — 2025-07-03 03:45:32 UTC

I completed my nursery, kindergarten, grade school, and junior high school education at Ateneo de Davao University. I hope to finish senior high school here as well. 🪷

Trust vs. Mistrust

jgcrsurposa — 2025-09-04 10:55:19 UTC

Growing up, I was surrounded by many caretakers. My mom and dad, my 4 older siblings, 2 yayas, and 3 helpers. I believe it’s safe to say all of my needs and wants (within reason) were met. Although I have no distinct memories of my stage in infancy, I take that as a good sign that I didn’t experience any trauma during those months of me as a baby. My whole family tells me that I was adored and loved, and to this day, I still feel their love for me even if I’m grown up now. 💗

However, I realize that this lack of mistrust I experienced while growing up made me less resilient to stress than I could be. Now that I’m older, I should strive to work on this aspect of myself to improve my character. Nevertheless, I am always grateful to my family for taking good care of me.

Early Childhood 🧒

jgcrsurposa — 2025-09-04 11:00:29 UTC

Autonomy vs. Shame

jgcrsurposa — 2025-09-04 11:07:48 UTC

During these years, as I was learning to walk, talk, and run, I was very playful and curious. My mom described me as very “kiat,” and I would always run around and fall over. But she would remember how whenever I fell over, I’d always get up and run again, not minding the numerous scratches on my knees. I’d only cry for a few moments before bouncing back up. My family always let me roam free, rarely getting mad at me for running around, and they would only trail after me to look over me and make sure I don’t go too far. I was supported by them, letting me explore while keeping me safe within reasonable boundaries, caring for me, and being there for me, ready to help me when I fall. 🏃‍♀️

Preschool Years 👧

jgcrsurposa — 2025-09-04 11:18:29 UTC

Initiative vs. Guilt

jgcrsurposa — 2025-09-04 11:26:27 UTC

When I was 3-6 years old, I remember a time when I was playing with my yaya. I was “selling” things to her, but she didn’t buy anything. I ended up crying and running away to my parent’s bedroom as she chased after me and told me that she would buy whatever I was selling. At that time, I only knew that I was sad, but I didn’t really know why. As I reflect on the experience now, I realize that it was my guilt in being unsuccessful in my business that made me feel bad. But the balance of it was that I tried something new, which was “selling.” To this day, I see myself being confident in my own abilities and decisions, but I also know where my limits lie and when to not push my luck. 🍀

School Age 📚

jgcrsurposa — 2025-09-04 11:52:38 UTC

Industry vs. Inferiority

jgcrsurposa — 2025-09-04 13:13:09 UTC

When I asked my family about my elementary school years, they all said one thing in common: that I was smart. I was, and still am, an academic achiever. There wasn’t a quarter where I wasn’t an honor student, and every time I brought home a certificate, it was met with praise and pride. However, I remember a time when I couldn’t bring home a medal, and because of this, I disappointed my family then. I felt crushed, but I realize now that it was a necessary experience, as it made me realize that I need to work hard to get what I want. Since before this, I felt that being smart and getting medals was normal to me. This stage helped me appreciate my own achievements but also made me realize the need for determination and effort in my endeavors. 📝

Adolescence 💃

My Developmental Stages: From-Infancy to Adolescence 💐

Identity vs. Confusion

jgcrsurposa — 2025-09-04 13:21:27 UTC

The current stage of my life right now is adolescence, and the conflict of identity vs. role confusion is very much present. I constantly think about the future, especially now in my last year of senior high school. Sometimes, I am sure of the course and career that I want to pursue, but then something influences me to try out another path. Right now, I see myself as a blank canvas with infinite potential, however, I am scared that once I start painting, there’s no going back and no way to erase the strokes I have drawn. But I know for sure that I want to become someone my family is proud of, and I want to live a fulfilling life where I am happy and free to be myself. 💜

WW1: 16 Personalities Test Result and Reflection

jgcrsurposa — 2025-09-05 02:38:25 UTC

Which part of you personality type description resonated with you the most?

jgcrsurposa — 2025-09-05 03:02:39 UTC

A description that resonated with me the most is how INTJ-Ts are introverted and susceptible to stress. I relate to this because I find myself more comfortable in solitude, and I prefer being alone, but because I am more of a thinker than a feeler, I am often put into leadership positions. This, combined with the fact that I prefer to work alone, causes stress if things do not go according to plan.

If I were to write a message to my "future self," what would I want to remind myself about who I am and who I want to become?

jgcrsurposa — 2025-09-05 03:05:17 UTC

I would want to tell my future self not to dwell so much on the past or future and to focus on the present. I'd also like to tell her to be more spontaneous and flexible when opportunities present themselves. I want to become someone who doesn't worry too much and a person who knows how to have fun while simultaneously keeping a balance between work and play.

WW2: Stressors and Coping Strategies

jgcrsurposa — 2025-09-05 03:06:24 UTC

In 3-5 sentences, identify and explain the stressors that contribute to the level of stress you indicated

jgcrsurposa — 2025-09-05 03:06:55 UTC

The two main contributors of my stress level are, family and academic related stress. I have a certain set of standards for myself when it comes to my studies, if I feel like I have difficulty reaching those standards, I tend to pressure myself internally which causes me stress. I know that it might be harmful to me sometimes, but I believe that it's a necessary pain for me to reach my goals. As for my family, sometimes I feel that I can't speak up to them about anything. I deal with this by developing other hobbies to express myself such as writing or art.

Identify 3 coping strategies that are effective for you.

jgcrsurposa — 2025-09-05 03:11:17 UTC

1. Reading and writing, helps me escape to another world while tackling my problems and processing my thoughts and feelings in a more organized and clear way.

2. Drawing and painting, helps me express my thoughts colorfully and through pictures and symbolisms within the drawing.

3. Listening to music, comforts me knowing that there is someone out there who can relate to my experience with melodies that resonate with me as well.

WW3: Owning My Emotions

jgcrsurposa — 2025-09-05 03:12:54 UTC

Complete each sentence in a way that is meaningful to you.

jgcrsurposa — 2025-09-05 03:14:05 UTC

When I encounter conflict, I try to respond by avoiding the problem and distancing myself from those involved
When I feel anxious or nervous, it helps me better if I take some time alone to recollect my thoughts and practice my breathing.
I find it challenging to manage my emotions when I am mad, tired, or stressed, because I am more susceptible to my emotions controlling me.
When someone shares their feelings with me, I feel honored to be a person who they trust with it, and I do my best to help them get through what they need help with.
One way I practice empathy is by being more understanding with others.
A time when I recognized someone else's emotions was when I noticed my friends getting tired or stressed.
Emotional intelligence helps me understand my emotions when I feel stressed and my judgement and thinking are clouded.
I can improve my emotional regulation by practicing healthy stress relieving methods so that I can manage my emotions better without stress confusing me.
I think emotional intelligence is important because it allows us to connect with other people and also understand ourselves and why we feel what we feel.
I believe that developing emotional intelligence can lead to better relationships and communication with others where I can show compassion and understanding to the circumstances of the people around me.

Think of a time when you went through something difficult. How did your emotions affect the situation, and how did you manage them?

jgcrsurposa — 2025-09-05 03:14:30 UTC

A time where I went through something difficult was when my parents left me to work abroad. It was difficult for me because I felt lonely and that something was missing in my life. Although I don't think I noticed it back then, I probably felt bitter towards them for leaving me behind, but since I have grown and they have returned, I now understand they only did that for me, to put me through school and give me a comfortable life. My emotions made me feel hurt, but I managed that by finding comfort in my siblings who were still with me.

WW4: Mind Mapping

jgcrsurposa — 2025-09-05 03:16:41 UTC

How did creating this mind map help you reflect on your own learning process and how you can better care for your growth as a whole person (cura personalis)?

jgcrsurposa — 2025-09-05 03:17:25 UTC

It helped me realize how reliant I was on my left brain because I had difficulty finding study habits that aligned with my right brain. Through this reflection, I can take better care of myself by exercising my right brain so that they are both evenly stimulated, meaning I can use my brain more efficiently and enhance my thinking process.

In what ways can you apply what you discovered about your thinking style to pursue excellence (magis) in your daily study habits and responsibilities as an Atenean?

jgcrsurposa — 2025-09-05 03:17:51 UTC

I can do more to exercise the two sides of my brain evenly. When they are both working together and contributing equally, it can enhance my performance in school and as a leader since I am utilizing my creativity and logical thinking. As an Atenean, I can pursue excellence by doing my best and by using my study time efficiently.

PT2: Overall Reflection for Personal Development

jgcrsurposa — 2025-11-07 14:46:12 UTC

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

jgcrsurposa — 2025-11-07 15:02:40 UTC

Personal development helped me confront aspects of my life that I was afraid to confront before. The topic that struck me was about family, where in WW3 there was a question about what my family does that I believe doesn’t help me grow. It made me realize things about my family and myself, and why some things are the way they are in our dynamic. Personal development made me look deeper into not only myself, but also others like my loved ones.

2. What were your key takeaways from the subject?

jgcrsurposa — 2025-11-07 15:11:44 UTC

My key takeaways from Personal Development are the learnings from emotional intelligence, and mental health and wellbeing. The lessons for these topics helped me look deeper into myself, especially as to how I handle stress and how my actions and reactions caused by it affect others. It made me reflect on myself and what I can do to improve my attitude and management of my emotions.

3. What two topics were your favorites and why?

jgcrsurposa — 2025-11-07 15:17:55 UTC

My two favorite topics were Developmental Stages and Personal and Social Relationships. I liked these lessons because it made me reminisce memories of growing up with my family, and made me look forward to the future, especially when making my Q1 PT, my developmental stages. I also liked how the lesson of love expounded on different kinds of love that we can feel, and how each person acts when they experience that love. These learnings can be helpful in the future when I am navigating my relationships and stages in my life.
