"The Family"

The most effective agent of socialization for me is the family. Everything starts at home, the kind of family we grew up with will reflect on the way we are as a person. The home is where we are formed and molded by our parents. It is where we improved our personality and we’ve got our values, beliefs and cultures. The family is the one whom we know that will always be there in times of pains and success. We feel secured and protected with our family. Our family is our source of strength and confidence towards facing life. It is the primary reason for a person to become better as an individual. What our family experiences will always have an effect to us, it may be good or bad. We express our true self in the family, there is no pretentions when we are with the members.
“What we will become is just the result of our past”

My Outstanding Virtue

My Outstanding virtue would be the virtue of Concern for others, because being concern to other people makes me feel happy. Being concern to others means being sensitive to the needs and feelings of others.

I particularly like this virtue because it’s a way of expressing my love of neighbor. It is the reason why it is easier for me to develop relationships with friends. I feel the need to associate with other people because I am an only child, I do not want to be alone. This virtue helped me to enhance my own personality while helping other people.

My College Life

......"My College Life"......
My first week at MCl was quite uncertained because it is like going out of your comfort zone... your protective shell. It's seemed like starting all over again, new school, new professors, new classmates and an entirely new environment. At first,I thought I will not find new friends. I'm quite timid at first, but very approachable when befriended. I was also excited with my program. It found the curriculum very interesting and appropriate to my career plans. I was delighted to meet my co-MMA students whom I can get along well.

All the professors were quite approachable and kind. They have different effective teaching strategies that makes learning easier and enjoyable.
I also observed that they are fluent English speakers which encouraged student to try to speak in English. They have different qualities that are essential to learning.

Some of my co-MMA students are also my classmates in most of the courses. I think our strenght as a class is our individdual differences, some personalities make us laugh but we can be serious when the situation calls for it.
I still find our group not yet that united, there are smaller groups within.

I found my courses very interesting and quite easy. I tried to spend time to study and learn new things.
The courses I personally think that I find easy are Filipino, English and Values.
I believe that even if a course is difficult, the approaches and the personality of the professor will make it interesting for me.
I don't like humanities and math. Math because I'm not good at it, even if how hard I tried. Humanities because I just don't like it yet.

Since it's just been three weeks, I don't seem to have major adjusments aside from the environment and the people that surrounds me. Academically, I am just applying and implementing what I've learned from the past years of my life. Emotionally, I missed my old friends and my comfort zone. Socially, I must treat people fairly.
