Points to Ponder: Reflection

1. Rizal had experienced a lot of tragic experiences, if you were Rizal how would you face them?
a. I am a person who’s the same as our National Hero who do not ran away from any fight or
challenges except I need to do so. If I were Rizal back then, I will just face anything that life
 thorws to me. Because I believe everything that a person’s experiencing in life are all part
of his/her journey so there’s no need to ran and so face it.
2. Are the childhood experiences of Rizal being just normal or not? Why?
a. I think yes, all those are normal. But his’ were just a bit normal and beyond expectation.
We all experienced weird and spectacular things on our lives. We all have our own path
and I think that almost all of us has the same things happening. I mean the death of love
once, sacrifice of one person for another or for all, and so on.
3. What part of Rizal childhood has been your experience too?
a. I have experienced to dwell, fight, to be in a competition where I want to show to everyone
that I am good and I’m not a burden to all. I grew up on te mindset that I need to be good
always and I need to be on top. But I learned from it. I realized that I should be not thinking
that way because everyone experienced and is destined to be on top or sometimes to be
in the bottom.
4. What have you learned from the module?
a. I have learned that the life is very mysterious. We experienced so much things that will
make ourselves as a whole and will shape us to be what we wanted to be and shaped us
what and who we are now today.

II. ASSIGNMENT
1. Explain “Spare the rod and spoil the child.”
a. This sentence is most closely linked to Proverbs 13:24. When we read in different
translations we begin to understand the meaning more. The King James translation
states “He that spareth his rod hateth his son: But he who loves him chasteneth him
betimes.” While the New Living Translation reads “Those who spare the rod of discipline
hate their children. Those who love their children care enough to discipline them. ” In any
translation, the intent is disciplining our children in the sense of guiding them in the way
they should go. To put it simply, it is to instill in our children right from wrong. This Proverb,
as with many proverbs and teachings of Jesus, teaches using a parable. It does not intend
for children to be physically punished as the only means of correction. It refers to teaching
them through guidance and appropriate discipline.

2. Summarize the story of the Moth.

a. Doña Teodora teaches his son Rizal how to understand spanish. In the first sentences of
thestory, Rizal looked toward the light which the moth circling around the lamp. The mother
mothtell his child not to stay in the lamp but the young moth resists the advice, and so the
young moth died.

3. What does this mean,’ what a person is, results from the interplay of nature and nurture.
a. Nature is what we think of as pre-wiring and is influenced by genetic inheritance and other
biological factors. Nurture is generally taken as the influence of external factors after
conception. It influences the personality of a human being, we have something that is an
inborn personality that we have had and that cannot be influenced by other factors, and as
we live and develop, the personality of nurture remains where it is through what we
experience, the environment, etc.
