Understanding The Self 1 e l u Mod Shaina Cas BPAOUMN 1-B Your Personal Identity ''Who Are You" Roles I am the breadwinner of the family. I only have one brother and I'm nine(9) years older than him so basically he's just 9 while I'm 18 years old. My brother (Rain) is in 4th Grade. While I, myself really have an interest in school because I really love to study and the fact that every single day is I will learn something new excites me, my brother, on the other hand, don't give his all interest on studying. As an "older sister", I am the one who understand and give all my effort to teach him while I still have time. Honestly, he's one of those kids that we may called "spoiled" and "hardheaded" because all the things he wants will provide by my parents as long as it is harmless and can afford the price. But as time goes by, his attitude was changing, there's the time where he don't want to study and just wants to play all day long, but still I am doing my best to make him understand the purpose of studies for his future. As a breadwinner, I am open-minded on the reality of life that it is not full of rainbows and unicorn throughout each and everyone's life, there will be the storms, rain and typhoon you need to face and learn to be more patient for every obstacles that you will encounter. Personal Core I’m comfortable adjusting to any situation and don’t get flustered easily when faced with unexpected challenges. Learning Making mistakes is about learning lessons. I’ve always believed that a lot of the mistakes I’ve made along the way were never really mistakes, they were lessons. I never would’ve learned anything if those things didn’t happen. Treat Other People As You Want To Be Treated This is the "Golden Rule." It is a Biblical principle to "Love your neighbor as yourself." Face Your Fear One of the most important lessons that I have learned in life is to "face your fears." Fears can hold us back from experiencing everything that life has to offer. When we give into fear we limit ourselves. We think we can do only this—go only that far—but no more. Stop comparing yourself to others. Women have to be kinder to themselves. You can’t compare yourself to everyone around you. You just have to be the best version of yourself. Confidence to me is about being comfortable and not trying to be someone that I’m not. It’s empowering thing when you figure that out. Learning I am hoping to learn more about "the countless other things I don’t yet know" To list everything I don’t know would be a crapshoot. There will always be more to discover. But if we begin to wonder, to ask, to explore, to discover, we can at least learn what else there is to learn. You’ll never figure out what you know until you identify where the gaps in your education are. You need to do this before you begin to fill them in. So let’s ask questions. Let’s try, and fail, and try again. Let’s go there. Let’s ask. Let’s learn. The best things are the ones we don’t know we don’t know yet. I hope the thing I learn more than anything is that it was only ever a matter of going forth and keeping the faith, and letting the rest come as it was meant to.
