MyAndrea

Hello! My name is Micah Andrea Gliponeo, I was born on October 05, 2003, in Sta. Maria Bulacan. My parents are Shirley and Randy Gliponeo and I have 3 younger siblings, 2 little boys, and 1 little girl. I attended Malhacan Integrated School from kindergarten until grade two and when I was a grade three to six I studied at Perez Elementary School. I attended St. Michael Academy Inc. from grade seven until grade 11. I started the honour roll when I was a grade nine. I am currently studying Senior High School at St. Michael Academy Inc. The strand I take is Humanities and Social Science because I want to become a professional teacher in preschool.

I have a very cheerful and easy to friend personality but sometimes I feel shy, especially when I talk to older or new people. I don’t know why I feel that way but when I am with my friend the shyness of me suddenly disappears and  I am becoming a noisy, naughty and cheerful person. When I went to senior high school I found out that I am an introvert person or in Korea, I have an ISTP (introverted, sensing, thinking, perceiving) personality. ISTPs are often described as quiet, but with an easygoing attitude towards others. They are also result-oriented, excited about the new experiences and they prefer to make judgments based upon objective criteria rather than personal beliefs or values. Being an introvert is not easy because sometimes when I am outside the house or we have a family gathering on my mother’s side I barely talk and  I am just in the corner of the living room.  Since the lockdown is going I explore who I am and I feel what I don’t want to feel. I became an overthinker, I have a trust issue in my decision, stress and I feel alone. But on those, I feel and experience I was trying to overcome all of that but it’s not easy to do so I went through the process slowly and until now I'm still trying to find a way to somehow reduce what I feel. I'm trying to bring back the former Micah because Micah is a positive thinker, and doesn’t feel alone. I like being alone but I’m not sad. I am loud but I hate noises. That is me right now. 

Honestly, I’m very picky about food. I don’t eat vegetables or foods with sauces like Menudo and Afritada. But when the lockdown started I tried to eat vegetables like squash, beans, and eggplant. My favourite dish is dinuguan, I am obsessed with sweet foods like chocolate, sour food, and coffee. I also like furry dogs, cute children, and  BTS. 

Next year I will be graduating senior high school and I will be stepping into college where I am close to reaching my dreams. I will soon get the courses I want and this course is a Bachelor of Education Major in early childhood and I will soon fulfil my dreams for myself and for my family.  I am now trying to file-up for different school admission to be ready for my school in college. After college, I will study again for my board exam for me to be a full teacher. 

The text that stood me out the most is the part where I really want to know what the status of Emil Muller and Xaver Sunyer really is. And I want to ask the question that is in my mind that to this day is still a mess is why they are both buried in one grave, are they brothers, they died at the same time and don't know who Emil or Xaver is, or are they in a relationship that died together. I gradually answered many questions as I read this text and in unbelievable circumstances, I felt a goosebump at what I had learned and seen.

This story is fresh from my perspective because as an addicted reader and now that I have read it, I am more enticed to read stories that are about same-sex. As a long-time reader, I have only just encountered this storyline because often the genre I read is romance, university series, fantasy, and more. The main point of the text for me is confusing because I am confused about what the real main point of the text is but when I analyze it, I understand what it wants to convey and its main point. And as time goes on my analysis is becoming clearer, and I understand the meaning of the text. For me the there are two main points of the text, first is how we accept the relationship of same-sex people and the second is how we understand the story, belief, culture, and perspective of different people that we do not judge them. Maybe this information I got is I will share it with the readers I know as well and of course, with the members, I know of LGBTQ+ so that they can be enticed or have knowledge about what happened to them and make them even more courageous to fight their feelings even though they are like that. And let them know that even if it happens to you, someone is willing to accept them and willing to know their story.

The one thing that changed my thinking and perspective from what I read was my respect for them. Because my respect and admiration for same-sex lovers, gays, or lesbians who are ready to shout to the entire world that they are like that have increased even more. I was so impressed with the height of their confidence that I even had no confidence to fight myself with other people. And even though there are so many who don't like them, they are fighting for who and what they are, and I especially admired and respected them. It surprised me when I found out that they really love each other because at first; I thought they were just friends who promised not to leave each other or till do as part. While it disappointed me that even at the last moment, they never admitted their feelings personally because of Emil Muller's greedy father. And even at the last moment of it, he still did not accept his son. If I can have the opportunity to change at least a little in the story, I will change the part where they admit how they feel. I will change that where they will admit to each other personally and even at the last moment of Emil Muller. he told Xavier those seven letters of the word, I LOVE YOU. And at this last moment, before he dies, his father will accept him for who and what he really is.

    Education is the movement from darkness to light (“Allan Boom”). The foundation of every state is the education of its youth (“Diogenes”).  Education 1 word that consists of 9 letters. This one word will help and take us to our desired life and work. But what exactly is the true meaning of this word, the word Education. Education is the discipline that is concerned with methods of teaching and learning in schools or school-like environments, as opposed to various non-formal and informal means of socialization. The basic definition of Education is, Education is both the act of teaching knowledge to others and the act of receiving knowledge from someone else. But some people do not take their studies seriously because they know that they can still find a job even if they have not finished their studies. And because of this belief they just ignore and negligible their education.

They did not know that education contributes greatly to our lives. Because through education many things and skills are honed to us. According to beninfo24/7, Education is the knowledge of basic skills, technical discipline. These skills are associated with the value of knowledge. It's the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. Education is one of the most beautiful weapons we can get in our lives. Because through education we will have knowledge and wisdom that we can use in our daily lives. Through education, we hone our skills and ability in one thing and expand our knowledge about our skills. The skills and abilities we will hone by education will be a great help to get us the job we want. And when you graduate, that's a great credential to find or work with companies. And there are also benefits available to a graduate student.

I know that many believe in this saying "You can find the job you want even if you are not done with your study and you do not take your studies seriously"..but for me, this saying has 30% that can happen but there is 70% that can't. Yes, you can get what you want but this does not mean that you can get it in the long run because, with the development and growth of our economy, the expectations of each company have also increased for one person. That for them it is better to be educated and have high credentials before they are hired. So it is good that we are graduates because we will see the true meaning of education when we start working. Because education is secondary to help us improve lives and develop.

According to David Symington, True education should also be completely and utterly fascinating. It should elevate the student’s taste so for the rest of their life they can distinguish between what is valuable and what is not – not because they have learned what “real” culture is and what it is not, but because they have a genuine taste. They can see and feel what is great art, great music, what is genuinely innovative thinking as opposed to sophistry. 

By education we can get a lot of benefits, through education more employment opportunities, securing high income, developing skills, bridging the borders, and empowerment. We need to value the things that will help us to rise in life and one of these things is our education. All the sacrifices, depression, crying, chasing we make while we study will be repaid when we have finished school and we have found and fulfilled our dreams. So value and appreciate our education for a better society and future.

In our everyday life, we use Social Media, Social media is already with us.  We use it when we are sad, we communicate using social media and share our own thoughts, feelings, and insights online. The media consist of magazines, advertisements, TV shows, and social pages such as Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, and Facebook, Discord all of which society seems to be addicted to. Can social media affect our self-esteem? 

mobilemarketingwatch.com

In self-esteem, we see our value, self-worth, appreciation of our mental health, confidence, and identity. Through our self-esteem, we know what we value in this world but through the influence of social media our self-belief or self-esteem is changed or we are already having a trust issue around us or in our own decision. Social media can be the reason why we feel low self-esteem, negative thoughts, and distractedness. Through social media, a lot of negative or positive thoughts that we can see can affect our self-esteem and beliefs.  Although social media can fight or be touted to combat loneliness, use to be up to date and use by communicating but this different type of social media can trigger comparison with others, it can raise doubts about self-worth, potentially leading to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. In this article, I will explore some of these troubling issues through a balanced lens. In social media, there are toxic people, scammers, and more, that affect your mental health, self-esteem and those people can change what you know and your knowledge. According to Dr. Hamlet, “If you’re spending a lot of time on your phone, you have less time for activities that can build confidence, a sense of achievement, and connectedness,”

One sick night after my first dose of vaccine, the side effect of it is very minimal and bearable but when I decide to sleep a few hours I feel that my whole body is shaking, I don't know if it's a side effect to me or just too cold, that night so I try to squeeze myself into the blanket and on the side that is no electric pan so I worrying about my shivering because my whole body was shaking so I decided to just go back to sleep, but for a few minutes my shivering still doesn't stop so I thoughts that it's just a dream that I just need to wake up but I'm wrong I'm shivering even though I'm wrapped in a thick blanket and had no electric pan. But thank you after a few minutes there was minimal shivering so I went to sleep and I thought that was the last dream I would have but I was wrong. I realize that I am in a game, a fun game that I need to survive and finish the challenge that the variety does.

Just like me at a young age, I've been there. I honestly have no memory or idea that I went to Baguio. I was surprised by what my parents told me that I had already been there. I was 3 years old when I first went to Baguio.  I was a naive child at the time and all I knew was to play with the beauty of the place. At my parent's place of work, every employee or staff member can go with them to their destination and sightseeing and can also bring a companion. and at that time they thought of visiting Baguio. And because they both work there, they took me with them and also because I was their first child at that time. We went to different places in Baguio.

The first destination we went to was the Baguio cathedral. It is also known as Our Lady of the Atonement Cathedral, better known as Baguio Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in Cathedral Loop, adjacent to Session Road in Baguio City. They said we visit here because they want to pray and see what beauty it has to offer. This church was specially built during the Second World War. They want to see how old it is and its vintage. 

The second place we visited in Baguio is the strawberry farm. This strawberry farm we visited is located at La Trinidad Benguet. The strawberry farm is the most visited tourist destination in the province. We pick fresh strawberries here and aside from picking we also eat what we take. They said I ate a lot of it when we were on the strawberry farm and I ate it even though it hadn’t been washed.

On our last day in Baguio, we went to the pink sister chapel. We go there to pray, meditate, and connect to God. My parents said that the place is very quiet, peaceful and there you can feel and achieve the freedom you want in even a moment.We also visited the mansion, we went there to see the beauty and size of that house. Even if you are outside the gate, you can immediately see its size and beauty. After we visited the mansion, we bought ube jam, strawberry jam, peanut brittle, and other food at Good Shepherd Baguio. And that's where the ube jam of Baguio became my favorite. Because it tastes so good. As I wrote these parts I am craving at ube jam.

In their stories, I already knew and I felt that I was very happy during those times. That even as a child I have experienced and visited that place. I'm so thankful because even though I don't remember those times, I can imagine it while they are telling me stories.

Dear: Alice

Hi Alice, How are you? I wish you doing great right now. I would like to say that you and I are need to be prepared about adolescence. We need to encourage a lot of teenagers about this topic because we need to be aware of are adolescence or aware of the transition that happening now. In this time a lot of teenagers didn't know what happened to them because they didn't prepare for their changes. So I'm here to encourage and remind you and to all the teenagers the development tasks we need to accomplished, so that we will know if we are adolescence or not and whether we are maturing or not. I will not prolong it. What we need to do to find out if we are an adolescence or not is, A person should learn to cope with the physical changes that happen in their body and you must learn to adapt new avenues for intellectual pursuit. As Adolescence or teenagers we need to enhance our verbal abilities and cope with the challenges cognitive tasks in school. And we need to have one or more goals that we can achieve and follow. And most importantly You must learn to manage their impluses and observe behavioral maturity. These are the things we need to know in order for us to be a full-fledged adolescence or to be prepared for you or us in adolescence.

Thank you for reading my letter, I will appreciate it.

Sincerely yours,

I find the lesson interesting. The activities that I like is when we answer Johari window and SWOT beacause I learn new something about my self.

2. What did you learn about yourself as you worked on the activities for this lesson?

I learned new things about myself for example I have a lot of phobia. so now I know what is forbidden and I also know what I can do. And I also know what characteristics I have and what my dislike and likes in my life.

3. How can knowing and understanding yourself help you in accepting yourself?

Knowing myself and understanding will help me accept who I am and it will also help me to know what I do not yet know about myself that I can now discover.

4. Do you think knowing and understanding yourself can help you to have better relationships with other people? Why or why?
