Time is indeed as swift as a dove's wing. I had never thought that this term would be finally over! Here are my written outputs in PERSEF1. Each output has my feelings, new learning and reflection poured in it! It was really tough to write/ draw each piece, and I am happy that I was able to have output for all 12 modules.

Looking back in my PERSEF1 course, I appreciated the way it makes the students reflect on the new learning in every module. The output may not come automatically, and one might even be forced to write it, but it is through this method that one is able to dig deep into his thoughts and wonder if what he believes in is right.

I hope you take a look around my blog a.k.a. PERSEF1 portfolio, and see topics, from knowing myself up to being a good leader, with my views in them. Enjoy!

The two most meaningful modules i took in this course are Module 6: Love and Module 9: Service Commitment. The module about love made an impact on me because all my life, i am only able to define love as: (1) God, (2) 1 Corinthians 13, and (3) that feeling you share with your friends and family. It is through Module 6 that i actually learned a more precise and detailed definition of love, its five kinds, and the true meaning of love. I also see Module 9 as meaningful because it (once again) awakened the nationalistic part of me that wants to express her views of what a true good Filipino should be. The module also affirmed to me that I am proud to be a Filipino, and that no matter what happens, I will always be a proud Filipino.

PERSEF activities have taught me to analyze any situation given to me and to think before i act, because aside from the module lectures themselves, we were also required to do essays and other output that show what we have learned and reflected during the module. Also, I was able to apple module lectures into my everyday life (ex. “Etiquette”)

Over these past months, i have been more sensitive to the environment and the people I interact with, I have become a bit bolder when facing acquaintances, and my so-called “snobby- ness” (which depends on the number of people I am comfortable with in a given situation) has subsided.

PERSEF, all in all, made me more aware and active as a Filipino, Christian and Lasallian. Now i know my responsibilities, rights and privileges, and what I stand for. It gave me a chance to express my views regarding the modules and reflect on them, and that made me a better person.

1. PERSONAL (myself, my family, my friends, etc.)
I will stop... blaming others/ backstabbing if they get mad at me because of my faults.
I will start... taking these anger (from their madness) as constructive criticism, and improve myself through them.

2. MY DEPARTMENT/ ORGANIZATION
I will stop... promising if I am not sure I can handle a situation.
I will start... learning my limitations and capabilities in order to assume my duties/ responsibilities.

3. MY SCHOOL
I will stop... procrastinating and cramming long-term schoolwork.
I will start... doing my long-term schoolwork little by little, day by day if I have time to do them in order to finish on time.
