DAY 12: Monitoring One’s Career

Dreams and expectations are still present in our minds throughout our lives. We've all fantasized about being the person we've always wanted to be, whether it's a doctor, a cop, a nurse, a businessman, or some other dream. Any visions we have are a result of what we saw and aspired to as children, as well as our personalities and the world in which we grew up. We were able to pursue the career we wanted because of our aspirations and ambitions. A profession is best suited to our talents and personality. For myself, I've always wanted to be the person I've wanted, I'm still undecided but still, I'm ready for what will flow.

DAY 11: Building and Establishing Harmonized Relationship with the Family

Family is knowing that no one could ever take your place. It is that spot where you are completely irreplaceable. It is that sweet place where you belong in all of your heart and personality and spunk; where you get to be unashamedly yourself every single day. It is where you are loved and known. As we are able to rejoice even in the little matters we do with them at the same time fulfilling the functions of a family such as; to reproduce, socialize and educate, support emotionally and economically with the identity and roles we have.

We should be able to understand and enjoy each other throughout our lives. We should start again with our families because that is everything we have in the end when we have nothing else. Overcoming any and all difficulties and obstacles that might lie ahead of us. Finally, we will be able to smile and laugh with them in the present, as well as in our cherished memories.

DAY 10: Building and Establishing Harmonized Relationship with the Society/Community

Each society has its own special set of rules, its own customs and tradi­tions, its own set of values and beliefs, and each must teach its members to fit into the society. Society cannot exist without individuals nor can individuals exist outside the society. Today's culture is rapidly evolving and adapting. People who work together and have a shared purpose or community build communities. Every member of the group must participate and fulfill their responsibilities in order to maintain a well-organized society of peace and harmony.

Each community and society in the world have a majorly vast population, which is why in order to sustain a manageable and organized community there are leaders who manage, motivate, guide, and implement legislation for its people. We must fulfill our responsibilities and grow up better in our community in the future.

DAY 9: Building and Establishing Relationships with Others

I believe that relationships are one of the most important things in the world. Both positive and negative relationships matter in our lives. Even though we are always saying that we’d be better off without someone, or we wish we never knew/met them we don’t and can’t truly mean that. 

Without those individuals we wish we never knew of the meeting, we wouldn’t be who we are today or who we are going to turn out to be in the future. Every person who comes into our lives comes into it for a reason and possibly just a season. At this moment in my life, my most important relationships fall into various categories; and yes some of these categories do blend together. I have my family, my friends who are basically family, my brothers,  and so on.

DAY 8: Empowering Psychological Resilience

Ms. Maria taught us about emotions, how we can differentiate the different kinds of emotions and how to manage them. As we continue to grow we become more aware of our emotions and we've expressed them as individuals.

Emotions are something that is just felt and can't be explained in words. Thus, we should not try justifying things through emotions because emotions do have logic as they are triggered by the brain. Knowledge for me can also be based on emotions.

Our thoughts, behavior, and mental wellbeing are all influenced by our emotions. We may be unable to contain our feelings when we feel sorrow or pleasure, but it is our responsibility to control and communicate them in a manner that does not damage our way of thought. We must prepare ourselves and our mentality in order to better treat them. We shouldn't subject ourselves to irrational thinking; instead, we should think rationally.

DAY 7: Focusing on the Physical Health

Ms. Maria taught us today about psychological health and mental health. But what makes a person happy, motivated and productive or depressed and sad in their mental health. Especially now that we're teens, we're in our adolescent stage. Some people have poor mental health that could harm their physical, mental, and emotional state. This is a severe topic when we're talking about this.

Since I know how it feels, I experienced being so low, which lead me to make/do bad habits, choices, and decisions. But with the help of others, I recovered and became aware of my mental health. It is better to help someone who's in need. I hope people find their hope and worth in themselves. That can help them to lift. But I know better than before; I know that I can handle it and pick better decisions/options in the future.

DAY 6: Developing Efficient Learning

 When it comes to learning and developing an individual, the brain has a massive role in it. The brain is considered the master organ of the body, to be a powerhouse that is most superior to the most powerful computers. Our brain can control, create thoughts, regulate, respond, memories, ideas, and do almost anything that the body shows.

Because of the brain, we people are evolving. It is also true that individuals have their way of progressing and acting with the brain.

DAY 5: Stress as Part of Adolescence

Being stress is part of adolescence. Growing up, we realized that we still have so much to learn, and we also realize how many responsibilities we have to accomplish. Many expectations and pressure from other people and even to ourselves made us think so much that we became so stressed. We became so aware of ourselves of the positivities and negativities. We want to avoid encountering circumstances in life, and We want that life is just simple and have n problems to face. However, there are events in our lives that can cause positive or negative, which I think is pretty much expected. It depends on how we handle it. Sometimes we face our problems seriously, and we also overthink, which can also affect our mental health. All I can say is, have a break. Take things slowly and learn to accept your mistakes. And your life will be better.

DAY4: Dealing with the Challenges of Adolescence Stage

Adolescence is like a turbulent period for most people. You are saddled with decisions about your self and your life. Sometimes you are under a lot of pressure. Ms. Maria  taught us many useful advices and lessons, that there are always challenges, confusions, problems, and issues in the Adolescent stage. We may want to get out of it or avoid it, But, we can't. Cause this is what/how life is. There's always pressure and expectations everywhere from other people and ourselves. We may be easily influenced to do bad things without thinking properly. But if we are in our right mind and have initiative, we teens may overcome the trials we face, and deal with them. With the right people, have the right influence and support. Believe you can rise above every difficult situation and make a success of them. Growing up is all about making decisions-some good, some bad. However, do not let bad decisions discourage you.

[joneshortelano]

DAY 3: Entering the Phase of Middle and Late Adolescence

We all know that we will be stepping a different path when we hit our adolescence. Challenges and trials to overcome, choosing the right decisions in life, and battling our mental health with it. Adolescence develop a sense of ourselves that endures and encompasses the many changes in our experiences and roles. We find our role in society through searching that lead us to discoveries about ourselves.

Attitudes and perspective are shifting. Though we may face difficult challenges, like temptations. We may influenced by bad people that makes us drift away to who we are. We may question ourselves, such as: feel lost, don’t know what to do anymore and facing mental health problems. But these challenges are the ones who can help us to grow more, to overcome and be mature. If you can’t take it anymore, remember to seek help always. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. ALWAYS have a healthy relationship/communication with your parents and peers, because they’re the one who will understand and guide you till the end.

DAY 2: Being Mindful with the Self

Life is full of trials that test us mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually; however, through those difficult times, our actions can reveal our strengths and allow us to grow and progress if we choose to allow it. How we choose to face those trials can leave an impact on our future selves as well as those around us. Unfortunately, everyone has struggles and makes mistakes, that is just the reality of being human.

Growing much older and mature now, it's important to be mindful of ourselves. It helps us choosing/deciding decisions better. We can learn from our experiences and mistakes . We can see different situations as opportunities to share our strengths with with the world an to better ourselves so we can achieve our true potential.

[joneshortelano]

DAY 1: Getting to Know One’s Self

It was all about ourselves. How we defined ourselves in various ways: physical characteristics, personality traits, and social identity. How we know ourselves by how we look in either a positive or negative way(appearance). We know ourselves by our behaviors/personality in front of our friends, family, and even strangers. We know ourselves by where we belong, like our religion. I believe that as a human we should know our self by knowing the simplest details like our strengths and weaknesses, our favorite food, color, and our favorite genre of music or film. You can also know yourself by having feedbacks/opinions from your friends or from the people who know you like what they feel about you. Knowing ourselves is kina hard. It can be very challenging, especially when we still don't who we are yet. We still have to learn, explore, and discover a lot of things. And because of these, we slowly then accepting/love ourselves, because we know now ourselves better.

“Understanding the Relevance of Information Literacy in the Midst of Social Era”

Kathyrine Jones P. Hortelano

We should always value being a media and information literate person  especially nowadays because we reside within the 21st century that changes us with growth of technologies like television, computers, cellphones, automatic radio and other medium for information. Being literate about media and data will give us advantage in our times today in terms of giving and gathering information knowing best most of the false and accurate information in several types of medium especially in media. Media and knowledge literacy enables people to interpret and make informed judgments as users of data and media, in addition on become skillful creators and producers of data to media. you'll only be considering as a media and data literate if you employ it during a proper way. Moreover, its value becomes pointless. We must be precise and prudent with our actions. MIL considers all styles of media and other information providers like libraries, newspapers, computers, museums, Internet and other technology used. a rustic with citizens that's media and knowledge literate will gain more advantage compare to other countries which stays in traditional way of being literate like concerning libraries, archive, old devices and etc. MIL basically gives us freedom to specific ourselves and knowledge that's important during this democratic country that gives us equal rights to the citizens and to form peace among all the culture, tradition and norms. 

As a student we want to be media and data literate because it can help us in our learning process to achieve more information to be employed in our future endeavors especially in our future jobs. We will gain inspiration to become a future pioneer to assist our country to develop and improve our country not just technologically but also economically. To become a media literate isn't to memorize facts or statistics about the media but rather to find out, to boost the correct questions about what you're watching, reading, or being attentive to and to be Information Literate. With only one click we are able to make a private suffer or worst, lost their value of living. Be wise use it right. Value media and knowledge literacy a bit like how you value yourself.

“Media and Government: A Love-Hate Relationship”

Governments have always had a love-hate relationship with social media. The media and the government have the power to manipulate people and to change how people think about certain topics going around our world today. But without media,  we wouldn't be able to notify or alerted about what's happening today in our world. At some points, the media and government tend to conflict with each other, because the government doesn't want to expose their wrongdoings to the public. From the picture/drawing we've made, you can see different animals because of the portrait different personalities. You can also see poor people/farmers in the picture, camera and etc. These animals portrait people's personalities on how they do their work, how they become a different person in front of a camera. And since we now had technologies/ social media, we can now hear or know what the government will do in that certain situation. People on social media nowadays share or posts everything they want to be shared.  "We" people will have our opinion on that certain topic on social media and that's how chaos started between government and media. That's why the government hates social media and wants to shut or ban it.

In this picture social media shows the different types of candidates or people we face today that have had an impact on our country. In this picture, the various species of animals that represent the various issues we face today are first shown, the crocodile is shown to be corrupt, the crab is the crab mentality of a person, and to the snake was betrayal, to the bee it was shown to be sweet and fragile on the outside but also known a how to stung, here in this situation they showed the lead to Malacañang. It also shows on social media the people who are suffering because, of the corruption and negligence shown by the government, and it also shows the poor people because, of suffering because, of the government that has been biased and they also forget about being a leader for the people. We are also seeing the decline of buildings or companies due to the lack of budget they are getting. All this will affect our country which is the reason why our country is not growing, many people are poor, many people are unemployed, this is also one of the reasons why our country is difficulty also because of people who prioritize self-interest. For us, social media helps us to know more about what is happening and we can see the trend of our country, because the first way we can see is on social media.

“The Value of Being a Media and Information Literate Individual”

kathyrine Jones P. Hortelano

A media and information literate individual enables us, people, to explain and make sense as users of information and media. Media and other information provide plays a central role in the information and communication process. Being a literate person today means more than being able to read and write. A literate person needs to have certain capabilities. Being a media and information literate individual; It improves the quality of life, more cohesive learning, it teaches you how to verify information, it encourages you to share other sources of media responsibly, it informs readers how the media affect our culture, and more.

Being literate about media and information will give us an advantage in our modern world today especially in terms of giving and gathering information knowing most of the false and accurate information in media. As a student, it is very helpful to us because it helps each individual to become more competent, critical, and literate. It gains us more information to be used in our future endeavors especially in our future jobs. People especially students must be aware and mindful when sharing in using social media.
