WEEK 6

DISCUSSION

It has been known that a family is the foundation of our society. Our behaviors, primary knowledge, and manners were obtained from the family. I believe that having a firm relationship with the family is a key to properly shape your well-being. It is necessary to build a healthy relationship with the family for it will also improve the open-mindedness of each member of the family. Thus, making each of them stronger despite any challenges that will come.

REFLECTION

1.

• I learned that a person who can accept themselves, will reach success in life. When we learned to truly love ourselves, we can determine our weak points. Because of this, we will learn to thrive and aim for the better. Loving and strengthening your connection with yourself is an important key to success.

• I reflected that we don't need to alter ourselves just to be accepted by the society. This means that we should improve ourselves to impress ourselves too, not others. Change is inevitable, so change for the betterment of yourself.
• It is clear that person with impure heart is a person who is unclean. Looks doesn't define what u are and what you can do. If others are not pleased by how you look, it doesn't matter. Success and good morals aren't measured through good looks.
• I think that one successful person who went from a lot of difficulties is a very ideal and an admirable individual. Undergoing a lot of challenges makes an individual tougher. It is very admirable to see someone rose from all the hardships he/she has went through. Even if you aren't privileged, you can be a successful person one day by being tough.
• It taught me that it's okay to be different. Being different is being unique. You possess a lot of personalities that can be used to achieve your successful life. You don't have to be discouraged just because you are different, hence, it is something that you should be proud of.

2. The part that moved me the most is seeing Norman step up to the stage receiving is diploma. He did this wearing his traditional clothes too. The video showed a lot of difficulties and challenges that he went through. All these hardships paid off because of his determination and perseverance. I was also touched when I saw the happiness in his mother. Despite being financially unstable, she taught Norman a lot of ways that he also did nourish to become successful. Mother's love is truly unconditional. I was never been proud to witness their success and happiness.

 

3. After watching the video, I feel truly inspired. Despite being bullied and degraded by the society, Norman kept on thriving for success, which triggered the determination within myself. I felt the proudness of his family as he graduated successfully which managed to bring the burning passion within me, that I will make my family proud someday. In addition, I feel sad for what he been through with all the discrimination he received. I think we should educate each other that this isn't right and never has been. I also learned that these challenges wouldn't hinder someone to reach for their goals and be successful.

 

4. He graduated from the University of the Philippines with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Behavioral Science.
