Living in the same roof but yet there still no deep communication with them. I think that this does not help me to grow as a person because I adopt that behavior. Not having good communication especially in school makes it even harder for me to communicate my ideas in certain areas and it feels like I am not able to help with them.

I’m grateful for how my family always tries to spend time together, even though sometimes they are busy. However, I think we could do an even better job of really listening to each other and communicating more openly. Sometimes we get caught up in our own routines and forget to check in or talk about how we’re feeling. I also appreciate that we help one another, but it would be nice if we could share the work more evenly. Even with these small things, I know my family is doing their best, and that makes me grateful.

I am deeply thankful for the love, support, and care that my family gives me. They always encourage me to do things that I love and make me happy. My family also teaches me important values like kindness, respect, and being grateful for what has been given to us, which I want to carry with me forever. Most of all, I'm thankful for their unconditional love, something I'll always hold close to my heart.

Recognizing both the challenges and blessings within my family helps me grow into a more understanding and compassionate person. By seeing the good things we share, like love and support, I learn to be grateful and to appreciate the people around me. At the same time, noticing our challenges teaches me patience, empathy, and the importance of communication. Striving for magis means using these lessons to become a better version of myself—not just for my own growth, but for the good of others. Practicing cura personalis reminds me to care for each family member as a whole person, understanding their struggles and supporting them with kindness and respect. This balance of gratitude and awareness helps me build stronger relationships and live with purpose and love.

I learned that not all day we feel loved and valued by them, since I completely understand that each of us have different problems we face whether it’s all about in school, work, or paying the bills. But of course as a family, we need to be balanced in our life and making spend time with them, truly built a strong relationship with them. 

The type of love that we have is the Fatuous Love since the passion and commitment I still observed but we have no intimacy or the closeness to each other. Since, each one of us has different priorities but there is still commitment on our responsibilities in our home like doing different chores or work because of that, we failed to have deep bonds sometimes.

Every time I am with them, I really feel happy and at the same time, emotionally because having a complete family is truly a gift. Even though we have priorities and responsibilities, I still think that I cannot imagine without them in my life. I don’t think I can be able to survive in life without their presence and love for me.

I am truly responsible, committed, and genuinely care for others. I believe that because of my family, for what they have taught me, the principles that they shared helped me to become the person who I am right now. The values they’ve shared, truly helped me to grow and to learn more to become a better person to others.

1. Regular Sleep

According to Cultivating Health (2025) that adults should

get seven to eight hours. Getting enough sleep can play

an important role in your weight, emotional wellbeing,

blood pressure, diabetes, mental and physical

performance, and more.

When we have finally have face-to-face classes after the

pandemic, I often feel unenergized and not in mood

because the lacks of sleeping hours. I realized that

having enough sleeps help me to stay energized to do daily task. I make sure to do my activities first so that I

will have enough time to sleep and to recharge my body

and mind.

2. Eating Yummy Foods

According to Harvard Health (2023) good nutrition helps

fuel your body. The foods you eat supply the nutrients

your body needs to maintain your brain, muscle, bone,

nerves, skin, blood circulation, and immune system.

Proper nutrition also helps protect you from illness and

disease such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and

osteoporosis.

I always eat food to gives my body energy and stay

healthy throughout the day. It helps me to stay focused

better in class, manage stress, and gives me the strength

to participate in activities and task. After eating, I often

feel energized, focused, and ready to do certain things

especially in academics and in doing chores.

3. Maintaining My Social Life

Individuals with strong social connections exhibit higher

levels of overall happiness and life satisfaction. Conversely,

the absence of such relationships can lead to feelings of

loneliness and isolation, which have been identified as

significant risk factors for premature mortality—comparable

to well-established health risks like smoking and obesity

(Gregory, 2024).

Maintaining my social life helps my mental health by

allowing me to share my thoughts, what happened during my

day, and share my feelings with people I trust. Being around

friends reduces stress, boosts my mood, and reminds me that

I’m not alone. Spending time with them makes me feel

supported, which is important for my overall well-being and

confidence.

My key takeaways from this subject are the importance of self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and maintaining good relationships with others. I learned that understanding myself and managing my emotions are key parts of personal growth. I also realized that having a healthy mindset and positive relationships can help me face challenges with confidence and resilience.

What two topics were your favorites and why?
My two favorite topics were “Knowing Oneself” and “Family Structure and Legacies.”
I liked Knowing Oneself because it encouraged me to reflect deeply on who I am my values, interests, and goals. It helped me see how my thoughts and feelings shape the person I’m becoming.

I also enjoyed Family Structure and Legacies because it made me appreciate my family more. I learned how family plays a big role in shaping my character, beliefs, and behavior. It helped me understand where I come from and how my family’s values influence my own life choices.
