Day 12: Monitoring one's career development

Jamilah R. Basher

Today’s lesson is all about “Monitoring One’s Career Development”. It addresses your goals, motivation, aspiration, as well as your personality, the way you interact with other people, and your outlook on life. On this topic, I learned many things that I would apply to my college years.

To this day, I’m still confused and I can’t help but feel pressured because I have little time left to think and decide on my future career. My career goal is that even though I am tired, struggling and restless at night because of my work, I am still excited to wake up in the morning with a smile on my face.

Family are the basic unit of society and the primary agent of socialization. They are the one who are the most important influence in a child's life. Family are the one who teaches us the values and makes us understand what is right and wrong. However, in the process,your relationship with your family members most especially to your parents may not always be smooth. There are many problems, misunderstanding and conflicts we experienced.

  Building and Establishing a Harmonized Relationship with the Society/ Community. This talk about what you usually do to your community? Do you build any good relationship with your neighborhood, or are you a good example to everyone?

It is important for us to build and establish a harmonized, strong, and meaningful relationship with the society/ community where we find ourselves in. Everyone one of us has a role to play, duties and responsibilities to uphold. With this we should always remember that we are all members of a community, and we must uphold and improve the community where we belong.

Day 8: Empowering Psychological Experience

Jamilah R. Basher

In this topic we talk about emotions, how to identify different types of emotion and how to control our emotions. Emotion is a way for us to show our feelings. It is important to us to control our emotions.

As we grow older we have to build emotional/psychological resilience since it is the psychological strength that allows people to cope with the stress. When we experience sadness or happiness, we may sometimes be unable to control these emotions but it is in our part to control and express our feelings. We must improve our emotional vocabulary, gauge the emotions intensity and have an emotional log. In that way, we can deal with different situations in our life and have a healthy lifestyle.

Mental health is the state of comprehensive physical, mental and social well-being of an individual. It affects how we think, feel, and act. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. We must develop awareness and understanding of this. Being mentally healthy can make all the difference in life’s challenges. You will have a healthier body if we take care of our mind. Having a good mental health it helps us to enjoy and cope with problems. We must take care of our body by eating, exercising, take a rest so that we can protect our mental health. Always have time to see positivity in life. Our mental health really matters.

DAY 5: STRESS AS THE PART OF ADOLESCENCE

Jamilah R. Basher

Stress it seems part of our life. It is a very common problem that affects many people each and everyday. As we grow old each of us experiencing stress and sometimes we don't know on how to handle it. Stress is not something that it just happens rather it's part of growing. Stress comes from different sources, it could be a family problem, financial, academics or negative thoughts about self.

By this lesson, I've learned that in coping with stress, we need to take care ourselves, manage your time, laugh, take a rest and talk to your family or friends that you can share your problem. Do things that makes you happy. Always remind yourself that you can do whatever you want to achieve.

PAUSE AND REMEMBER:

DAY 4: Dealing with the challenges of adolescence

Jamilah R. Basher

On the fourth day of class, we discuss " Dealing with the challenges of adolescence". As we grow up, we will face challenges, problems, responsibilities, issues, and to the point that we want to give up.

As 20 years old, I have gone through various challenges common among people my age. Right now, I am facing challenges and problems, but  I've learned to accept and face them. These challenges and problems will make you a stronger person, and it gives us something that we can learn, grow and help us to become a better person. " We don't grow when things are easy.

DAY 2: BEING MINDFUL WITH THE MIND

Jamilah R. Basher

On the second day of class, we discuss "being mindful with the mind" being mindful encourages us to relate differently to ourselves and our life experience. If we are mindful, we can pay attention to our mind and make changes over a  fairly short period of time.

 

 This topic gives me an idea of how to be mindful of ourselves and things that we need to be aware of. Being mindful is really helpful to us especially to us students maybe some of us today may still be in confusion and we need to think carefully about what really we want in the future.  As James de la Vega said, " Be mindful even your mind is full."

DAY 1: GETTING TO KNOW ONE'S SELF

Jamilah R. Basher

In the first meeting, we meet our new personal development teacher Ms. Maria Angelica R. Amante, she is really kind and she knows to Understand her student situation.  In this lesson it makes me think, do I really know myself? Or I can accept myself for who I am? So those are the question that came up in my mind.

I have so many things that I learned in our Personal Development subject, which is we discuss "Getting to know one's self" which is enlightened me that I have so many things to learn more and understand myself. I discovered and learned something about how to find myself and make myself better. And accept criticism from other people either it is negative or positive we must accept ourselves for who we are. As Julius Charles Hare “Be what you are. This is the first step towards becoming better than you are.

"The new media and technology changing our society"

-Jamilah R. Basher

New media is accessible anytime and anywhere. It is considered a new tool. New media can help us in life, just like gathering information or communicating with our family or friends that they are far from us. The media is constantly being upgraded and improved more than print and broadcast media. If the new media replaces print and broadcast media people can only rely on the internet because they will not read, or watch newspapers, magazines, books, television or radio because people will only rely on various social platforms media to compile information. Unlike with Broadcast and Print media you need to buy a newspaper, magazine, etc. to gather some information or news about what is happening around in our society. Even though the print and broadcast media are disappear they still can be found also on websites or any form of media like YouTube and Facebook that we used to be.

I think five years from now there's a lot of improvement, change, and discovery in the way we communicate with others. For five years, people have been able to receive and send messages or gather information with the help of high technologies. Nowadays, there are more technologies such as a cellphone, laptop, desktop, and devices involved in sharing ideas or information through various social media platforms. But one of the day, the way we interact with othere it will change. The advent of new media will surely inspire the world of information. But despite all that, it still has a long way to go to address the credibility and authenticity of the old-fashioned channels. Half a decade will pass and the completion of social media in traditional media should be remembered.

"Understanding the Relevance of Information Literacy in the Midst of Social Era"

Each time there is a change in our way of life. In our generation, digital devices are changing how our world works today. By the help of technology has made easier for us to gather information through the use of social media. With the use of a smartphone or computer, we can get some lessons that we can use in our learning to increase our knowledge. By the use of technology has become a big part of our lives like posting the products you want to sell on social media or even posting an education video that has lessons for young people. However, many people use technology in a bad way just like spreading fake information that can ruin a person's life. We must first consider whether the information we have read is relevant before we can pass it on to others.

Nowadays, one of the problems in our world is the spread of fake information. We need to be aware of how to be a literate person to avoid fake information that can spread in our world. It is also important to know that the source of information is reliable. Literacy knowledge is a life skill, we need it for us guaranteed high-quality information that we can use. We need to analyze if what you are reading is real; here are the steps to find out if what you are reading is realistic. First, identify the source of the information if it is credible, and then look for reliable information. Finally, identify the communication by passing on information that has been proven not only informative but sure and true. We must be realistic when it comes to information and news. It takes self-discipline and good practice to apply it anywhere, especially when it comes posting something serious on social media. We should control ourselves in social media, not social media should control us

"Media And Government: A Love-Hate Relationship"

The media plays important role in conveying information to the public. Every hour we get news because of the help of the media. We watch TV, read the newspaper and browse online just to gather information about what is happening around us. But how can we say that what we see and read in the newspaper is true?  Can we have assurance especially when it comes to government? Every country needs a leader; the media and government are the most powerful institutions in the world.  The media and government can deceive the mind and manipulate the people. Both of these are important in each country because without government who would lead us and lead us to the right path? And without media, how can we able to notified and alerted about what’s happening around us. In some focuses, the media and the government tend to quarrel with each other. Individuals say some detailed news is one-sided, but the government says no. Some writers contradict what the government says. As a result, the government issued speeches at a time when the media was tightening. Without government and life in the media, it will be difficult for us because we will not be able to gather information about what’s happening around us and no one will lead our country.

People have the right to the problems of our country and also the public has the right to express their opinion through the media about current issues in our country. The government makes excuses because they think that the media will damage their reputation that the media are the ones telling the truth and expressing the information we should know. Sometimes we can’t blame the media if they oppose the government because the media just want to tell people the information about what is happening in our country so the governments hate the media because it can damage their reputation because of the statements of media about them. But the media should be credible and not easily swayed by bribes. Once aware that the media should not take sides, should not take sides with any unit of society. The main concern should only be the public and do not allow you to be deceived and we have the rights to know what's happening around us.
