1. What did you feel while you were completing this table?
- While completing this table, I feel happy because I learned what my friends think of me,
aside from that, I had a hard time answering my part, because I had to write down my traits,
but I never once thought of my strengths and abilities so I needed more time to think of what
my traits, strengths, and abilities, and based on my observation so far, I think that’s what I
am.

2. Did you have a hard time thinking of answers for both columns?
- While answering the column, I had a hard time thinking of my strength, traits, and abilities on
my part, it took me a long time to finally complete the column, and to my friends, since I
have fewer friends, I had a hard time asking someone to answer the question so some of them
are answered by my family members.

3. Does your perception of yourself coincide with the perceptions of others on you?
- My friend and family talk about me being quiet which coincides with how I think of myself,
they also mentioned that I am helpful and kind to others, and looking back at my actions, I
always try my best to help someone, and helping someone makes me happy. Overall, I do
think that my perception of myself coincides with the perceptions of others of me.

4. What are your realizations from this activity?

 - In this activity, I realized how important it is to have some time to arrange your thoughts and
focus on yourself to be able to answer the questions about yourself. In this activity, I also
realized how my friends think of me, all this time I had only thought lowly of myself but I
never knew how people see me, and this activity helped me to realize it.

II. Essay

1. Who are some of the significant individuals around you that you consider to have a great
influence on your attitude, values, and behaviors? Explain how they influenced you as an
adolescent.
- Our environment has a great influence on our attitudes, values, and behaviors and for me, as
an adolescent, that works to form my personality, we usually pull away from our parents and
have a stronger bond with our peers. The group of friends has mostly the same personality
since they adapt to each other, having friends during adolescence is important for personal
development. However, its influence can be positive or negative. And in my opinion, I
consider my friends to have a greater influence on my personality (attitude, values, and
behavior) because they are the people, I spent more bond with, other than that, they are the
people with whom I can comfortably share my experiences and feelings on something that’s
bothering me because they are more likely to understand me. I don’t see our friendship as
having a negative influence on me because they had always taught me how important our
dream is and how important our education is.

2. Why is others’ evaluation of yourself just as important as your self-evaluation?

- Self-evaluation helps me to know my strengths and weaknesses, and by knowing that, I will
also be able to know the areas in that I need to improve. Others-evaluation of me is just as
important as the self-evaluation because other people have a different points of view and
origins, there are things that we need to understand especially when having a conversation
with someone because there’s a possibility that they might misunderstand what we meant to
say and when doing something we might unconsciously do something that other people
thinks it's not appropriate or offend them, others evaluation helps us to be aware and be
sensitive of our actions, not only that it also helps us know the areas that we need to improve.
All evaluations are important because it is part of us that helps us to have personal
development.
