My plans after I graduate in senior high school is to really find a side hustle that would fit my skills, as a soon-to-be senior high school graduate, as well as gaining satisfaction with regard to such. While searching, I would also try to continue my education in college for I know that the education in this country is very crucial. ACTIVITY SHEET 1: MY OCCUPATIONAL INTERESTS PROCESS QUESTIONS 1. Did you experienced mismatch of occupational interests based on your NCAE results and based on your self-assessment and plan after senior high school? - Yes. 2. What occupational interest will you consider in choosing a curriculum exit? - I suppose, the occupational interest that I would consider in choosing a curriculum exit is Professional Services. 3. After doing the activity what realizations or insights did you have as a senior high school learner who is about to exit after a few months? - I have come to a realization, as I just finished the activity, that being a senior high school student is not just any other level of education. It seemed to be the mere transition to everything. To a deeper level of understanding, to a wider range of serious struggles and difficulties, and to the inevitable reality. 7 ACTIVITY SHEET 2: My entry point in the exit Draw a symbol to represent the life and career you imagine to have after entering your chosen curriculum exit. Briefly explain why you have chosen that symbol. I've chosen to draw this particular symbol mainly because of how I perceive my life after I enter a specific curriculum exit—which is starting from zero till I reach something I could consider as a significant one. Becoming of what I desire for my life and career as I enter a specific curriculum exit would mean quite a bit happiness within for I know that nothing is achieved instantly, but nevertheless, there is the interest as well as joy, in taking the path I would choose. 8 ACTIVITY SHEET 2: My entering point in every exit PROCESS QUESTIONS 1. Why did you choose that symbol? - I have chosen to create this symbol due to the reason that, just like the approximately red, brush-stroked circle is established from its faint shade, to slowly becoming more vivid as it reaches its other end, my life—particularly with regard to my proficiency as well as my skills as a student and individual, after entering a particular curriculum exit, would practically go back to scratch for I consider every such exit as a new path towards reality, and that would mean to me of restarting almost everything. However, restarting things would also signify of learning new things which would soon develop myself as I go through the circle of life just like the symbol getting thicker as it reaches the other end above. 2. How does it relate to your choice of curriculum exit after Senior High School? - As I am thinking of entering the curriculum exit that is higher education, I suppose, the relation with which to the symbol I've created is like—as I mentioned in my previous answer, is restarting almost everything. Learning in the higher education would mean of unlearning things that I've learned from my past experiences, as well as re-learning things that I've quite forgot. And with that nature, I believe that those would strengthen myself as I would be taking the course I desire in my life. 9 ACTIVITY SHEET 3: My plan to exit OCCUPATIONAL INTERESTS BASED ON PREFERRED OCCUPATIONAL INTERESTS SPECIFIC CAREER OR PROFESSION BASED ON OCCUPATIONAL INTERESTS RANK 1 The Arts Director RANK 2 Professional Services Teacher RANK Media and 3 Communication 10 Photographer PREFERRED CURRICULUM EXIT EMPLOYMENT ENTREPRENEURSHIP HIGHER EDUCATION MIDDLE-LEVEL SKILLS DEVELOPMENT Photography Director (2027-2050) Secondary High school Teacher (2027-2050) Art Paintings (2023) Art Painting Lesson (2022) Landscape and Portrait Photographer (2027-2060) Art Paintings (2023) Bachelor of Arts (20222026) Bachelor of Secondary Education (20222026) Bachelor of Fine Arts (20222026) Art Paintings (2023) Art Painting Lesson (2022) Art Painting Lesson (2022) Journal reflection 1: My meaningful exit from senior high school In all honesty, I seriously have no idea on what to state in this part because in the first place, I don't even know how my exit from Senior High School would be meaningful in all possible ways. But as I was writing the sentence before this, I imagined that my exit might get meaningful, only if I let go some of the negativities within me. Now, surely, that would mean a lot, to me, for I may finally look at other things, people's situations, without thinking about it in some other way. For I may finally be able to watch other people do their own things, without anticipating those in a quite not good custom. For I, as an individual, may finally look at other people before I exit the Senior High School—equally. 11 MODULE 2: DISCOVERING THE C’s 12 MAIN ACTIVITY: Labor market carousel Technology - As the modern society are being more engaged with up-to-date technology, where most of the necessities and wants across-the-board are transpiring in such, the demand of global labor workforce is constantly arising to aid the call of the public. Globalization - As the needs and wants of the people around the world are getting rare and difficult to search, companies across-the-board are expanding to different locations to fulfill the demands of the people, thus, requiring for the labor workforce globally. Outsourcing - As various companies are GLOBAL trying to find a way to economize their stocks and resources, some have come up with establishing connections with other companies internationally, in which, requires the demand of labor workforce across the globe for that to occur. LABOR WORKFORCE Demographics and Diversity With a great number of people needing and desiring for a greater and better medical care which would give them an adequate satisfaction, this demands for a labor workforce of various people from different generations in order to propel and assist that into existence. 13 Changing Workers' Attitude and Values - As the demand of labor workforce in different fields of industry—globally, are elevating, it is crucial that the laborers/workers are into what they are doing and working for the continuous development of their companies as well as their selves, thus, it is a must to amend one's attitude and values—especially if those are descried in part of negation. Main activity: Labor market carousel PROCESS QUESTIONS 1. How did you find the activity? - In all honesty, I find this activity dreary—yet, informative. 2. What information were presented in the Labor Market Carousel? - The information that were presented in Labor Market Carousel is data about employment by location and occupation, labor supply and demand, earnings, unemployment, and demographics of the labor force make up what is known as labor market information (LMI). 3. How will you use the information you have acquired from the activity in preparing for you chosen career? - With the information provided in the task which I have acquired in the process, I believe I could use those to develop myself more and to eliminate the traits that will contribute to the destruction of myself in all aspects. 4. In relation to your chosen career, what are some of the skills needed for you to succeed in that particular sector/industry? - As my chosen career at the moment is to be a Psychologist, I suppose that some skills which I need to succeed in that specific profession are critical thinking as well as understanding, ability to contain oneself, and ability to work under pressure. 14 7 C’s LIFELONG SKILLS PROCESS QUESTIONS 1. What are the five global trends that affect the global workforce? How can knowing them help you as a Grade 12 student? - The five global trends that affect the global workforce are Technology, Outsourcing, Changing Workers' Attitude and Values, Demographics and Diversity, and Globalization. Knowing those five would help me, not only as a grade 12 student, but also as an individual, to prepare myself in stepping on to the real world, by innovating my skills in various fields and amending my attitude and values, as well as continuously engaging with the current changes and updates around the world. 2. How will lifelong learning help you to succeed in life and career? - I suppose, learning all throughout my life adventure is a great opportunity as it gives me, deliberately, life lessons that I need to learn in every challenge that I will encounter, for me to develop and innovate myself as a whole. And with that preceding reason, that would be an important contributing factor in order for me to achieve my success in life and chosen career. 3. Do you agree with Heraclitus when he said, “the only constant is change.” Explain. - I have heard this quote for quite a few years ago, and now that I encountered it again, I realized that it is quite true. Change is constant and may considered as inevitable as Time is too as well. One may find a course through Time but the rest can't go back to live in the past. They must keep on moving on—and for that to occur, one must make some changes. 4. How will you implement the seven C’s if lifelong skills in your life and career? 15 - I presume, I could apply the seven C's of lifelong skills in my life and career through letting myself engage with other things as well as other individuals for me to gradually understand and apply those seven that would help me get through with my life and career. 16 APPLICATION: LET’S MAKE IT WORK LABOR MARKET INFORMATION LABOR MARKET INFORMATION Mental Health Care related jobs Socially Inclined jobs 17 CAREER DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT Those who are in line with these jobs earn the prize of being looked up as one of the major and important career for they are serving people, just like the teachers, police, doctors, nurses, etc. are serving their people as well.

Genuinely, I admire how you try with the things you really want to have, or perhaps, experience. Even in the slightest thing, you always try to make a way just to get a chance to glance with such—tangible or not. But if I were to ask you one thing, that would probably be the person who make judgements objectively, and not the opposite. The one who thinks well, and healthy. I hope that as you are reading this, it brings you to the nostalgic feelings that you once felt back in the days where things would just seem to be easy as you once thought of how life was. I hope that as you are reading this, you will be currently sitting on a swivel chair, nothing ordinary as it would be your own; a cup of liquid resting on a mahogany table, with couples of papers stacked on it. But on top of those, I hope that you as you read this letter, you would gently smile while your left hand would slightly touch a sculpted long piece of wood, where a name was written, of no one but yours.
