 Synthesis
The true purpose of the strong is to promote greater
strength in the weak, and not to keep the weak in that state
where they are at the mercy of the strong. – Chistian D. Larson
Patience, perseverance, and a burning desire that
constantly needs to be fueled in the process of reaching ones
goal. The quest for the realization of your dreams is like
waging a momentous battle during which you might encounter
severe setbacks. But success comes to those who turn
adversities into opportunities, overcome their limitations and
bounce back with renewed vigor.

The concept of self-efficacy is the
focal point of Albert Bandura’s social
cognitive theory (1997).
According to Bandura (1997), the level and
strength of self-efficacy will determine: whether
coping behavior will be initiated; how much effort will
result; and how long the effort will be sustained in
the face of obstacles.

GRADE 11 CAREER GUIDANCE PROGRAM: STEPPING UP TOWARDS SUCCESS

 LECTURRETTE

in one’s capabilities to organize
and execute the courses of action

successes or failures (most influential)

mentoring

Synthesis

As we journey towards our career, we see the road is

long, and is rough. There are times it seems hard to find
strength enough. But through it all, the ups and downs we
learn to smile despite the frowns.
We learn to share our joy and pain, to share without
expecting gain.
We learn to give a helping hand and how to lean when we
can’t stand. We learn the difference between right and
wrong and to stand for right, and always stand strong.
Through this road is hard and seems so long, it’s how
we find where we belong because its only through life’s
bends and turns that we can truly grow and truly learn.

is all a question of standing up each time and renewing our resolve to
be strong…to be responsible…to make decisions that is appropriate
for us… and to face the consequences of all decisions we made.
