2 Defining Responsibilities and

Expectations (Activity 3)
Activity: Defining Responsibilities and Expectations

As Filipino adolescents, what do you perceive as your responsibilities? What do you think are
the expectations of your parents, friends, peers and members of the community?

In defining responsibilities, your self-identity should be made clear to you. By defining your
responsibilities, your values should be clearly defined, too. Your role in the society should be
also defined in order for you to define your responsibilities.

What are your roles right now? If you were to identify these roles, it would include all of
these: First of all you are a member of the human race. Second, you are a citizen of the
world and the Philippines. Third, you are a resident of your city, town, and barangay. Fourth,
you are a member of your family and probably have siblings and a set of parents. Fifth, you
are a member of a local public or private school. Lastly, you are a friend of somebody, and
this relationship may be friendly or romantic.

Based on these roles, what do you think are your responsibilities? What are expected of
you? For each of these roles, what values should you have in order to fulfill your
responsibilities? Fill out each corresponding column in the table below with your thoughts
and feelings about your responsibilities and what others expect from you. Use a separate
word file to upload your activity.

I am me

I am not a hardworking person and I am not talented or very intelligent. Among all my
friends in class, I used to be the last one in understanding and memorising the texts. It
took me a long time to understand the lessons, whereas others needed just one or two
times to figure out the part when the teacher explained the lesson. But even that I
can’t catch up to them for some reason I still do my best

There are so many times that I want to change myself because the nothing wrong if
you change yourself but I realize that this is me. I am who I am and many people accept
me as me so I think I didn’t need to change now maybe someday if it is going to help
me get better.
