Answer the following questions:

• Which among the categories you have the most in your list?
• What do you think these things tell you about yourself?

If I were given a chance to have this kind of opportunity I will use the money with
the useful things for educational purposes, things that will last and I’ll make sure that I
will not be the only one who will benefit from it but also the people around me most
especially my family, relatives and the needy one. The categories that I have the most
in the item that I list are related or intended to my family because I know they deserve
something that will make them happy and content, seeing them happy makes me feel
happy too. I also want to use the money to buy something for my mother because she
has made a lot of sacrifices for our family and I always want her to feel that she’s
special by giving something even if it's a small thing. To answer the second question,
these things tell me to be content with what I have and always choose something that
will make your family happy and will last in the long run like businesses, educational
assistance, house and lot for my siblings. Also, these make me realize that expensive
things for yourself will make you happy but the true happiness is seeing the smile
from your loved ones. This activity made me realize that money can change our lives
but we need to always choose to change in a positive way like helping other people so
they can also change their lives.
