I realize that I should really be thankful for my school as they played a crucial role in shaping me into a better individual. All the values that have been instilled in me is thanks to the different experiences and learnings I’ve gained for the past years in St. Theresa’s College. With the guidance of my teachers and the three great women that serve as models of inspiration, I am able to uphold the right principles to be the best version of myself. Likewise, by reflecting on my markings and values, I am given the opportunity to determine if I have actually and effectively fulfilled my duty for the STC community and society.

Growing up in STC for almost 13 years, the Theresian Identity is a cornerstone for who I am as an individual. Every principle I uphold to has been founded from or influenced by my essence as a Theresian. The learnings I’ve gained and experiences I had as a Theresian is a fundamental factor in my everyday decision-making as well as the direction I plan to follow as I move forward. With that, I am expressing my gratitude for St. Theresa’s College for establishing my Theresian Identity.

It is relevant that we are able to identify our goals, actions and our roots as they indicate the path we will forge in the future. As I student, I have several goals to pursue and seeing them written down on my tree of life reminds me of who I'm aiming to be. However, it also reminds me the need to stay grounded and calmly approach them because I have my own set of limitations. In light of this, I will inevitably face challenges in the future which will help me grow. 

2. The critical Theresian values in goal setting is commitment and passion. Both give me the drive to act towards my what I'm aiming for and keeps me focused. I believe these are effective as goals tend to be long-term, and if I don't have the patience, it will only result to wasted time. Likewise, I should be self-aware to discover my weaknesses and the areas I know I will thrive which also makes up my goals. 

3a. Goal-setting is vital because it indicates the direction of ourselves and influence our decisions and actions every single day.
3b. Setting our goals entails having the patience to see them through, especially know that goals are a reflection our own desires and the effort to have a meaningful life. 
3c. One must be realistic with their goals. It does not signify that I should give up, however, I should know better what is for me and what isn't. 

4. How will I know when what I'm working toward is a waste of time? ]]> 2022-03-25 03:50:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lourdesfatimabanzon/ok9qqfjbbs9i7dq4/wish/2113134823 Module 3: August 9 lourdesfatimabanzon https://padlet.com/lourdesfatimabanzon/ok9qqfjbbs9i7dq4/wish/2113140261 Mod 3: August 9

Briefly share your insights from the activity.

The activity definitely helped me in self-discovery. As I become more aware of how I handled my studies and the effects of the pandemic, I've come to realized just how much I've grown as an individual and how my mindset has a huge impact on how I deal with everyday obstacles. Although stress is a normal part of life, and it has undoubtedly increased when the pandemic came, we all adjusted in our own distinct ways. In light of this, despite the many challenges I've encountered in Distance Learning, I've firmly built myself, along with having a strong support system, I can keep moving. Nevertheless, as I move on with life, I will also encounter newer experiences that I may not be prepared for, however the memories of this pandemic will surely be of help as I face the unknown.

Values are essential in our lives because they are key factors for our decisions, behavior, ideals, and so on. Given this fact, having deeper understanding of my own values helps me perceive the areas I thrive in, and the points I need to improve on. Although it is not necessary that I possess all skills, everything has a right amount which will beneficial in achieving success in life. Possessing these information allows me the opportunity for self-development. 

2. Based on what you have learned from the activity in this module, on your past learning, and your personal
experiences, are values CAUGHT or TAUGHT, neither or both? Why is it important for us to identify our values?
Share your thoughts below.

I believe values are both caught and taught. Firstly, it is taught and stays in the minds of people, however, it is only truly instilled and applied by an individual once they caught it, because not only do they see it from others but they embody it themselves. And with that, it is important that we identify our values to because it indicates what we want to do with our life. They assist you in behaving in a way that is consistent with who you wish to be. When one is faced with a decision, they based their answers on their values.

I'd like to leave a legacy behind that illustrates the relevance of passion in pursuing goals. I'd like to show that I am a hardworking student, who did everything she could to excel in the things she accomplished. I hope that the following generations find it in themselves to give as much effort as they can in their tasks, and find the best direction for their life just I had by envisioning my goals and future. ]]> 2022-03-25 04:19:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lourdesfatimabanzon/ok9qqfjbbs9i7dq4/wish/2113167012 Module 3: October 4 - 8 lourdesfatimabanzon https://padlet.com/lourdesfatimabanzon/ok9qqfjbbs9i7dq4/wish/2113272894
1. Now that you have taken time to think of the values most important to you, ask your parents, siblings, and closest friend how they see you in terms of the values that you live. Give them the complete list of values from the previous activity for reference. How do you feel after hearing their response?

Their responses all vary. They say some values are evident in me whilst others they would have to slightly disagree. Although it was contradictory to my thoughts, I am enlightened of the fact that people's perceptions of me, can be different from the way I view myself. Therefore, I realize that it is important that I consider the idea of viewing myself from another angle because it helps me understand myself more and my values. Likewise, their responses are all beneficial as I can see whether I am truly consistent to what I say I am, and see what I can do to achieve what I expect from myself. 

2. What insights did you gain from this activity?

As I've mentioned, I am again reminded of the relevance of recognizing and understanding my values. They are essential components of my nature as a person, thus, it should be expected that I can comprehend it myself and exhibit them. ]]> 2022-03-25 06:11:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lourdesfatimabanzon/ok9qqfjbbs9i7dq4/wish/2113272894 Module 4: January 10 lourdesfatimabanzon https://padlet.com/lourdesfatimabanzon/ok9qqfjbbs9i7dq4/wish/2113285029 1. What did you learn from this session?
Not everything goes our way and it is valid that we feel negative emotions such as anger, frustration, disappointment, hate, and so on. Even if it were the simplest things, the inconvenience can greatly bother us and ruin our day. Thus, we feel the need to release and express them to remove emotional baggage and feel better. However, this does not imply that it is alright to release it negatively towards others and even ourselves. This can result to harmful behavior which stems to worse consequences such as ruined relationships and toxic habits. With that, I know that there are healthier and more effective ways to release the negative energy, which can be developed through positive self-talk. It trains us into properly managing our emotional responses to different situations. Once it incorporates itself into our nature, our thought processes and social behavior improve, and overall, we become better individuals. ]]> 2022-03-25 06:25:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lourdesfatimabanzon/ok9qqfjbbs9i7dq4/wish/2113285029
