2. Clearly, the clip’s main goal was to impart great advice to its listeners on how to live a
happy life especially to the young listeners like me. I felt like I still have so much to learn.
Well, I know that I do have so much to learn but this piece made me realize it more. This
made me see the most complex truths of life that I never knew before until I listened to
the clip. I felt like from this day onwards, I will be able to avoid frustrations in life because
this work of art gave me tips on how to live a happy and healthy life.

3. Everyone who knows me really well knows how much I love listening especially if the
topic interests me and Sunscreen really awaken my eagerness to listen and pay
attention to every words. To evaluate myself, I can say that listening to that masterpiece
was a success. Although I cannot say that it went smoothly because there were a lot of
barriers but I still figured it out. Some of my strong areas was that I was able to
understand the message behind it. I learned a lot and I realized that I am still young and
still have a lot to learn. I was very focused. While I was also listening, I can’t help but
imagine what will be my future would look like if I will be able to follow the advice being
conveyed by the clip. It was like my eyes were opened to the complex reality of life. And
I loved it. I loved how this clip have widened my knowledge about the real-life situation.
However, having the strength means I also have my weakness because I am not
perfect. Some of my weak sides was I wasn’t able to block out any distraction. I
encountered environmental barriers. There were noises everywhere and I can’t do
anything about it. I just put earphones on. Although I was still able to hear some noises
but I just kept my attention to what I was watching and listening. While I was also
listening, I have to pause the video and process first the message because honestly my
mind loads first sometimes before I get to understand the message. But so far, I think
that was the only weakness I had while listening to Sunscreen. To conclude, I
understood the meaning or the lesson trying to impart by the video and therefore it was a
success.
