4th - 5th Week with Ma'am Desacado

THE MOST CHALLENGING THING I HAVE EVER ACCOMPLISHED



We all encounter challenges and trials, as a person we strive hard to reach our goal to accomplished it. For me, when I entered high school it became a big challenge to me for the fact that I have to dealt with adjustment.
When I was a freshmen student my goal was to graduate in high school. Of course, I had many trials and challenges during that time,like the difficulties in solving mathematical problems. As time went on I was enjoying that life, but the big challenge was there and the question you wanted to answer whether you will graduate in high school or not. The goal I was able to reach was there and I have to strive hard, and having the challenge that I have to maintain my high grades so that I could graduate in high school with honor.
After four years of hardship, I was able to graduate with honor. I had accomplished my goal, even though it was quite challenging. I was able to do it because of my determination, perseverance, trust in myself, not losing hope and having faith in God.

3RD MEETING: GUIDE QUESTIONS FOR JOURNAL ENTRY:

If I will have an outstanding virtue I want it to be honesty. I believe this is also one most important virtue that everyone should possess in order for ourselves to succeed and for our country to progress as well.

For example, in the family, it can avoid misunderstanding and can prevent unnecessary worries on the part of the parents, if all their children will tell the truth of their whereabouts and their activities.
In school, if all the students will study harder rather than cheat in order to pass the subject, we can only say then that they have truly learned and will be able to facilitate them as they proceed to another phase of their career.
In work, if all the employees will come on time, won't make themselves idle during working hours or if they really work conscientiously, there will be harmonious relationship among employees and their employers.
In government, if all the public servants are willing to serve the people honestly and putting their own interests aside, there will be no poverty and no upheavals that may arise among the people.

Now, can you imagine world without honesty? Therefore honesty is really important to everyone and to one country, for it tells the truth and may avoid those things that our country are encountering right now.

2nd Meeting: GUIDE QUESTIONS FOR JOURNAL ENTRIES

1. How was your first week of study at MCL?
ANS:
My first week of study at MCL was fine and also it was fun. I found out that some of our professors were fun, they share jokes to the class so that it won't be boring and they were great in teaching. So for me, it was fun and glad to have all my professor in this term.

2. Describe your professors. What are the traits do you find positive in each one?
ANS:
For me, my professors are great and fun. They bond with us in a way that they won't let our section be boring but fun at the same time learning.
My professors traits that I find postive is of course they want us to gain more knowledge and to learn in each courses we are taking. They are also fun and they know how to adjust with us. They won't let the class be boring but of course we must listen to them and don't try to abuse their kindness and gentleness to us. Because I know they want their class to be fun and not boring but at the same time we are learning and gaining some knowledge.

3. Describe your blockmates/section. What do you think are the strengths and weaknesses of your section?
ANS:
I find my blockmates or our section is so fun, always happy, there are times that the boys are noisy and so naughty "pasaway". But when our professor scold us, of course we listen and behave.
I guess, the strengths of our section are we bonded together, there are no kill joy and some of our professor told us that we are kinda good in his course and we're flattered when we heard that. About our weaknesses, to be honest I don't know yet and I don't also have any idea yet. But I guess some of our weakness is that we don't know each other yet so there are times that some of our blockmates fought or misunderstood. But I guess as time goes by we will know each other better, so that we can avoid misunderstanding and some fights. But as of now our section is not yet encountering it and we are having a great bonding. And I am looking forward to konow them better so I could adjust with them.

4. How do you find your courses? Which ones do you think are easy and which ones do you think are a little bit challenging? Why?
ANS:
I find my courses a little bit hard and of course challenging. I expected it because I am now in college so I expect it that it will be really hard so I must strive hard to make good grades. I think math and logic is kinda easy. Because in Logic I will more on use my mind, common sense and it is more on reasoning. And also I find Math kinda easy and also a litte bit challenging because it is kinda easy because I like numbers and I also like solving problems or equations. But it is a little bit challenging because it will be more harder than I thought and of course it is a higher math and an engineering math so I expect that it will be really hard. Also I find my Drawing course a little bit challenging because it has a time that is set and I should finish my work before the time.

5. Do you have any adjustment you feel you are going through or must go through? What are they? Cite some examples in terms in your academics, emotions and social environment.
ANS:
Of course I still have adjustments that I must go through. I know how to socialize and mingle to others, but still I have some fears and worries. I guess in academics I must take it seriously because I must pass the courses I have and graduate with an honor. In emotions I don't really have to adjust nthat much because I guess, I don't find it kinda hard to adjust specially in socializing and mingling with others. And in social environment I guess the adjustments that I have to go through is to get use to what I have and what I am doing right now. It is kinda hard for me to travel alone because I am always with my guardians and I always travel with a car, but now I have to commute all by myself and get use to it.

1. How does Values Education work to your advantage?
ANS: I guess it will help me to know myself better and to discover more about myself. And to know what is right and what is wrong. And it will inculcate in every students' minds the attitudes that they should acquire and the right disposition to deal with life's hardship and trials.

2. After you have processed your first few experience at MCL, in what way this will help you achieve successful adjustment in college?
ANS: I guess, when I get to my classmates and friends. For me it really helps, in a way that those people could help me on adjusting and later on make me more comfortable and also for me to be able to conquer my fears and worries.

3. Analyze your readiness for college using the checklist " making transition from high school to college."
ANS: For me, I'm not totally ready in entering college life. In a way that, I still act that as if I'm a high school student but I'm not a high school student now. I'm still innocent about life but I have to be more mature. I'm not that aware of what is happening in the country and in the world but I have to know it. I'm not ready to be independent nor to handle myself of my own. But I have to get use to it. And I know it will be harder for me but having friends and getting to know others might easily help me to be more comfortable and ready to college life.

1st Meeting: GUIDE QUESTIONS FOR JOURNAL ENTRIES

1. In the first few days you've spent in MCL, how would you compare your high school life to what you envisioned college life to be?
ANS: For me, high school life is somewhat like my childhood time. Playing with others, not that serious, your teachers always remind you and still guiding you, exploring new things, so innocent about what is happening, and it is all fun and enjoyment. But now, as a college student, I'm entering the college life. It will be another challenge for me. I must know how to be more responsible, to be more mature and to know how to get use of real life. I must also know how to handle things and stand on my own. I know that it will be harder for me, but it is a learning process, and I know that I will eventually acquire the things that I should learn in the process and be the best person that I can be.

2. What is the importance of Values Education?
ANS: Values Education is important in a way that it reflects on your attitudes and behavior. And also it inculcates in every students' minds the attitudes that they should acquire and the right disposition to deal with life's hardship and trials. We take up this course because it will help us to learn more in life and to know more about ourselves.
