7th meeting

Self -evaluation:

Review the results of your personal health assessment and write your realizations and plans about your health in your journal.

  • I had review it and I've seen that I have no problems with my health. It's just normal, although I have a problem with my menstruation because I don't actually have a monthly period, I mean I don't have a normal menstruation. But it's okay because I think I just inherent this to my mom and I got by he check-up and the doctor said it's normal to the girls whose age is like mine, because she said that my ovary is not that yet ripe that's why we cannot force it to blood. And that she cannot recommend me some medicines to take up because I'm too young and that like I've said it's normal. And that bleeding to much is really bad. And she also told us to come back to her if I will already be 18 or 19 years of age and that my condition is still like that because that will be the time that I would take my medication. So we planned to go back to the hospital after 2 years if my menstruation is still not normal.

Part 2 of the 6th meeting

  • The most striking scene in the movie "An Inconvenient Truth"

Answer:

When Al Gore shows us a snowy Kilimanjaro twenty years ago and now it's mountain is so dusty. He demonstrated to us the effects of Global Warming that we cannot explain through words. And he also shows us the points that the ice caps are melting and that soon our wold will be just all water. And some of the Island in the Antarctica that were already problem areas. And also he pointed out that the sea level worldwide could easily rise twenty feet or more. And he shows the effects of the Global Warming to our surroundings, as well as our planet Earth.

  • My feelings and emotions while watching the movie

Answer:

I felt really scared and I don't know what to do. I'm so scared to think that sooner or later our world will be vanished or that it will be worst, I don't know what to do, I don't know where are we going if that will happen. And at the same time I felt so lonely to think that our world, my family will be lost from me, because ever since even if I think about what is going to happen in the future, I'll always erased to my mind that worst ever thinking, because even if someone would think about it, he will be scared too. I mean right now for me is okay, rather than losing it.

  • My realization after watching the movie

Answer:

I realize that our world is really affected by the Global Warming and if we do nothing to stop the it, our world would be as worst as ever, that we cannot do anything anymore to protect it because were too late. But now, we still have a chance, it's not too late and it will never be, as long as we care about our planet. We can still protect it in some simple ways.

Journal Writing

1. Cite one experience wherein you have experienced negative peer pressure.
2. How did you react to it? Why?
3. How did you feel about your reaction/decision?
4. What have you learned/realized from your experience?


ANSWER:

It's when I was in second year, actually I'm going to turned third year because it's our vacation, my cousin pressured me to answer the guy whose courting me, and the guy was the friend of his boyfriend, and I do what she said. But then I realized that it's the right for me to have a boyfriend because I'm too young and besides the guy and I both know that it's just a game, we must not take it seriously and because he's doing the same, he's not taking our relationship seriously in fact he's dating another girl and he's getting up another girlfriend. So we end our relationship and also our communication. And it's just normal because, it doesn't feels like I have a boyfriend that time. But then I felt like I just waste my time in entertaining that kind of guy and that I need to lie to my mom just because of him. But when I broke up with him, I'm felt like I'm still the same girl who doesn't committed and I realized that what I did is right and if you really feel that is not the time for you to be committed then don't do it, it's just as simple as that, you're just the one whose making it complicated. Be true to yourself and that don't let anyone to decide for you. You are the one whose respnsible for yourself. And always remember that "no one can ever hurt you without your consent."

The most challenging thing I have ever accomplished

The Most Challenging Thing I have ever Accomplished

The most challenging thing I have ever accomplished is when I was in fourth year joining the Field Demo dancers club and to be graduated in highschool and to be in college. At the field demo, at first I don't know what are we going to do, if I'm going to have self-confidence dancing in front of many people with my groups, knowing that I have stage fright. But then when we won all of that feelings have vanished. We worked hard for it. We worked for us to win. And yet, it happened. And thanks to that co-curricular activity. It helps me to enter the top 10, although I did not intended to do so, but I'm thankful anyway. I'm very very glad to join them, at least now I know that even I have a stage fright, I can deliver it very well. Then being graduated in highschool is a lot for me. Because it means that I need to tackle another journey in my life, and that is college. At first when I'm still in fourth year highschool, I always think what would be my life in college and that time I don't want the 4th year highschool to be end because I'm so afraid to enter college life. But then, here I am, being graduated and now, the 1st term in college is also going to end. For me it's the most challenging thing that I have ever accomplished now in my life. And we'll going to see, in many years that would come, I will accomplished a new challenge that will going to happen to me.
