Self esteem
1. Do you sometimes feel bad about yourself? Try to reflect on what specifically causes you to
feel bad about yourself.
Yes, I felt bad about myself because of people’s unnecessary comments on how I present
myself to the world and my different way of doing things that would make others say that I
should be more like everyone else.
2. Can you also see yourself in an objective and balanced manner? Why do you say so?
Yes, because I am naturally self aware about myself and how I relate to others.
3. Can you equally notice your strengths as well as weaknesses? How?
Yes, by evaluating myself every once in a while and being self aware.
Physical appearance
1. Do you sometimes feel bad about how you look? Why?
Yes, because one little change in our diet and lifestyle can change how we look.
2. Do you compare yourself to models or celebrities? Why?
Yes, it is unevitable to compare yourself to others specially with the use of social media
everyday. Since we see others more often than ourselves, we tend to neglect the small details
that makes us as equally charming as others.
Group Belongingness
1. Do you have a group of friends that you can easily relate to? Do you feel like you belong in
that group? Why do say so?
Yes, I have a group of friends that I feel belonged to because despite our differences, we can
relate and connect to each other through our experiences.
2. What do you like and dislike about your group?
What I like about my group is the bond that we formed, no matter what misunderstandings we
had, we would always find a way to forgive one another. The only thing I disliked about my
group is the excessive spendings caused by eating outside too much. This hinders us from
saving money.
3. Do you sometimes feel pressured to do things that you do not want to do? Why?
No, because I make sure that I do things because I want to do it to avoid regretting it later
on.
Relationship

I have a normal relationship with my parents. They are a little strict on some areas but at the
same time they give me enough freedom.
2. What is your relationship like with your friends? How is it different from your relationship
with your parents?
I have a close relationship with my friends. I open to them a lot more than I do with my
parents because at this point, only them can fully understand me because they, too, are going
through the same things I am going through.
3. Have you had any romantic relationships? What can you say about them?
No, I never had any romantic relationships.
Sexuality and sexual relationships
1. Has the view on sexuality and sexual behavior changed in the recent years? How?
Yes, as time passes, people have been more accepting of the diversity of sexual orientations
because of influential people who fought for it.
2. Have Filipinos become less or more conservative about these matters? Why do you say so?
Filipinos are becoming less conservative and more open about these matters because they
realized that at the end of the day, we are all equal and having a different sexual orientation
does not make you a bad person.
Academic Concerns
1. How have your grades been in the recent years?
Since I started studying, I have always been an honor student. Recently, I have been getting
good grades even without forcing myself to study as hard as I did before.
2. Have you set a goal for the grade you wish to attain in this subject for the whole year?
Yes, I think it is important to set a goal even if it is not that high to know your limitations and
capabilities.
3. What usually motivates you to study?
I motivate myself to study by rewarding myself with each achievement.
4. What keeps you from studying even when you know you need to do it?
Distractions, such as phone and laziness.
5. How important are grades in school for you?
When I was younger, grades are very important to me because I believed that high grades will
make me more successful and will give me more validation, but as I grew older, I realized that
it does not define your capabilities at all. Having low grades does not mean you are not as
capable as those with high ones.
6. Do you think that your grades reflected about how much you learned? If not, why not?
No, because not all who have high grades or perfect scores really understood by heart what
they were studying. Those who failed a test and got low grades might just be going through
something and got distracted. When faced with real life challenges, will we know who are the
ones who will really succeed in life.

Yes, I want to be a businesswoman someday.
4. What makes you excited to wake up each day?
The thrill of the unknown tomorrow brings is what makes me excited to wake up each day.
5. What would you be happy doing on a daily basis?
Doing what I love like reading a good poem, making good food, and going on different
adventures.
