Read the true stories of Ki and Angie (at the end of the document). Review the
elements in Figure 1.4 in each case.
Both stories convey the power of conation through the success of their lives. Through
Ki's story she shows that she has the belief to get out of her normal life and therefore
she has the courage to take risks. She is brave and always seeks opportunities to
change her life. Although her friends withdrew from continuing their studies, it did
not weaken Ki’s enthusiasm for furthering her studies. Despite the difficulties of
being away from his family no friends and even without the support of his parents she
continued her ambitions and dreams. Ki’s energy so high that she did not give up
easily and finally achieved the dream she had dreamed of. Ki also convict that after
her success she returns to her village to inspire the people. She wants to show that
they can also come out from native and achieve success. The knowledge gained she
applied to her native. She has made a change for herself and also the American’s
native.
In the story of Angie it is also proof of the power of conation. The death of
mother at a young age and have to take over the responsibility of caring for her twin
sister is not an obstacle to her success. Challenges in life where she has to pursue her
goals while managing her twin sister empower her to become a strong and powerful
human being. Her problems did not make her become weak and withdrew from her
studies. She believes education is important in life. So she dared to take on the
challenge of being confident of success in future. Her conviction made her reluctant
to give up despite having to send her twin sister to faraway places that led her come
late to school. Yet she pursued what she had missed from his friends because she was
so committed. Moreover, even without the encouragement of Angie's father, she still
continued her studies. Despite the challenges, Angie did not complain and instead
changed her mind where she knew what she wanted and knew what was happening to
achieve her goal. So she did what she had to do because her belief she can succed if
she want to.
As a conclusion these six attributes define the conation 's fundamental context,
and how the learning act takes place. When we apply these six attributes, the learning
opportunities and the difference is endless.
