Twelfth Entry: What I learned in life, I learned in PERSEF1

1. The most meaningful modules that were discussed in PERSEF1 is "Love"(specifically relationships with the opposite sex) and "Career Planning".

During the discussion about love (relationship with the opposite sex), there were some things that I found out that I thought are not true about the thoughts of boys, but they really are. Like Pre-marital sex is okay as long as they do it safely or PDA is okay as long as they know their limitations. I guess I was being naive about it. It has been mentioned to me a million times, yet I did not believe that all guys are ike that. But after hearing the thoughts of the guys on our block, I guess I'll have to assume that all guys do think the same. Of course, I know there ARE who think otherwise... but the chances that I'll meet someone like that is 1 in a gazillion!! hehe...

The discussion about Career Planning really made me think of what my future will be. At first I thought that I'll be doing programming for the rest of my life. But after the discussion... I thought, "how sad my life would be if I lived like that." I heard discussions about how other people would open up a business after some time. I thought, "why shouldn't I do that?" So now, not only will I become a programmer, but also a businesswoman as well. Yeay!

2. During the discussions in PERSEF1, I was able to ask myslef questions such as "Am I a good citizen?", "Do I really have what it takes to become a leader?", "Do I really know what to be in the future?", "Am I ready to be in a relationship?", and so on... Before, my asnwers to these questions were kind of unstable. I'd probably answer, "Mabye" or "I guess". But throught the discussions, though I am not YET 100% confident of my answers, I now have an idea if I am a good citizen, if I got what it takes to become a good leader, what I want to be in the near future, if I am ready to be in a relationship... :D

3. The groupings in PERSEF class made me improve my skills with people. This is because, at first, my groupsmates were not really my ideal ones. I wanted to be grouped with certain persons in the block. But through the groupings, evrytime I'd be grouped with not-so-ideal people, I'd think, "Why not? It's worth a try to work with these people. Plus, the more people I'd get to know. How fun!" :D

4. Through the discussions we've had, I was able to reflect and define about I really am. I was able to discover new things that I didn't know was in me. And was also able reflect more on how to be a better me. Now, I can say that I like the new me and...

There's no one else I'd rather be but me. :D
