HONESTY ...

I take the challenge of return excess change. I actually do this challenge before it becomes the topic of my journal entry. Because when I rode on the tricycle, I gave the “manong driver” twenty pesos and the regular price for a student like me was seven pesos. So he needs to give me thirteen pesos but unfortunately, he gave me eighteen pesos so it had five pesos excess to the change. Then I used to return it to him because I know that he needs it much than me.

 It is small deed but important if you think of it a lot.

CHALLENGE ....

I challenge myself to get a high score in a quiz on one of my subject and I did it. I got a high grade in our Hum011 and I felt that I can do whatever I want if I will put more attention on it. And I realized that being true to yourself is the best one and making a goal in your life gives you an inspiration and determination to do every of your work successfully.

When I watch the movie entitled “inconvenient truth”, I realized that even us are the destroyer of our own environment even we gained benefit from it. I have learned that the global warming is the biggest problem not only in our country but also in the world. I think that we must value more our environment and we must educate the youths to conserve what we have today for the future of the others.

THE MOST CHALLENGING THING I EVER ACCOMPLISHED !!

I could provide challenges I have had or talk about achievingour personal challenges. Well I guess that each of us have unique personalities, so each of us could have a set of goals that challenge us. It important that we try and grow as we progress through life through settings goals that challege us. It can be quite easy to set goal, but it's much harder to achieve that goal as we as humans tend to set really lofty goals that are impossible to achieve. Now this isn't horrible as long as we acknowlegde at the end that it was a litle bigger piece of the apple piethen we had intended on eating. And then we evaluate how we did and say yes, I actually did achieve my goals even if they are only a subset of the initial unrealistic goal. We learn how to set realistic goals, how to track our progress and how to provide positive feedback.

The most challenging thing I ever accomplished is keeping life in equilibrium. Balancing of school demands, family time, personal interest, trying hard to be a good daughter, self improvement, time with friends and other lesser. Trying to react to shifts in the areas above is "the challenge". There is no definite goal. The goal is to strive to stay in the "sweet spot" and constantly monitor the pitches life throws your way. Sometimes you strike out;sometime you put in the play. But the more you practice and play, the better you get. 'Coz there will be another but soon. The next challenge I ever accomplished is overcoming my fears, the fear of height and the fear to the insects. It's a big hush on me. but later on I get use to it. Now I overcome it (but not so totally overcome it, 'coz I'm quit scared to some other insects) and trying to put things up...
Well, life is a challenge and mine was not nearly as bad as some people have it. The world is full of challenges and tragedies. But it is full of people who rise to the challenges and achieve their goal despite some pretty overwhelming odds.

CHARACTERISTICS ...

I am not a perfect person and so for me when they have a wrong answer... I've just simply say that he/she should give me right or specific answer instead of laughing someones answer. When there is a group discussion, I lend an ear to those person that want to state their opinions, so that if it is my turn, they will also listen to me.. "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you"
