                      be in one is a
                      great privilege.
1. “HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF”. I have always been faithful and courageous that
my actions will bring me great results. In naming the events, situations, needs
and facts about myself, I had great confidence in all my answers. I have not
doubted even a bit in naming them. As I was going through this activity, the
only challenge that I encountered was there are a lot of positive answers that
I could write, though I cannot choose one for there are many options.
2. My Personality and Interests, and my Family are the major considerations
that greatly affect my career choice. As a Family-Oriented daughter, my
family are the ones that I really think of first. Whatever decisions I make, I
consult them and ask for guidance. Given the fact that I take them seriously, it
helped me maintain a good connection to them and to my inner self. Of
course, my interests and personality is also a great consideration when it
comes to my career. No matter what I do, if I really don’t have interest in that
thing, I will never be productive with it. Being able to experience and enjoy
my most desired work will help me progress and succeed in life.
3. Honestly, all of these factors are my advantage to this career of mine. As I
have said before, I have full FAITH in myself and I deeply know that I can do it,
by hook or by crook, I have to get it. This is what I want, I should work hard to
get it. With the positive factors stated on the diagram, I am sure that I will be
able to become a very productive and successful professor.
4. “ JUST ANWERING IS NOT LEARNING. BEING ABLE TO TAKE IT TO HEART IS
UNDERSTANDING, YET IT IS ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU SUCCEED”. This activity made
me realize that there are more positive sides of life more than just plain despair
and sadness. Life is precious, and so we have to live it the way we want. Not
everybody is given the chance to have education, and so as a lucky person, we
should strive hard to make our dreams come true and make those
unfortunates’ dreams possible. For having success, means becoming someone
who makes others also succeed.
