My "self" is a being who was shaped by such experiences happened into my

life. I was simply formed because of the circumstances I've encounter which makes
my personality to engage into a challenges of different situations. Upon experiencing
different casualty I was being determined to be formed about who and what really my
self is as how I deal and engage into an everyday circumstances. I can simply viewed
myself due to how I spend my time daily and manage everything. My self is just a
reflection of my action in all the things that becomes a part of my life.
As I grow in this world holding nothing except for the faith that I could
possibly brought as always by owning freedom. I am being tested so much but behind
the reality of being tested I have see myself on how to manage everything. Through
such experiences my self could see the personality inside of the real me but it is
difinitely difficult how I could conclude that this is what my self is and to be. I am
unknown to who me really is and what I am upon the changes of casualty I could
faced daily. Today the wheel of my life absolutely roll around studying, seeing
myself engaging into the world of learning and finding the inner self of mine how
could myself lived around this aspects of life. A self is a kind of particulars which is
dependent to the environment of what would come into our life and this is me too
who deal such situations but circumstamces happends in the environment isn't
dependent to me. It is where how myself being challenge to reveal the dimensions of
my personality controlling myself to survive everything I could experience. No one
could expect of what are the things would come towards us upon the unknown
circumstances coming unto us and through this the different side of our self goes out.
Our self haven't just a one face to lived from childhood to being an adult. We have a
lot of faces to show in engaging everything and such personality are changing.
At this moment as I see my self spending most of my time into studying, I
viewed myself simply as a learner not just in school but in my whole life who engage
into different situations to learned. I enrolled to learn, I live my life to learn, I
experience difficulties, happiness, sadness, failure and success to learn what was
really life is. As I live everyday I learned something and this is my life as how I
viewed my self as a learner in this world. Discovering the importances of teachings to
grow, wearing knowledge and knowing the reason how necessary to learn everything
that anyone have valued to achieve something that makes us to feel glad.
On the particular part of a lesson I could describe my self relating the content
from the unit 4 which is about an intellectual aspects of the self. It is where I could
relate and describe my self who work outside of a narrow definations of a subject-
matter. This unit connect and link every aspects of situations where we could think
flexibly on how to apply our existing knowledge and experiences in learning a new
and fresh topics being taugh to us. In this unit where lessons are about the theories of
knowledge and becoming a better learner I've picture out myself thinking how to
become a good learner, becoming a good person too and discovering the significance
of all we've experience how every situation connect each other. The collaboration of
our experiences and present casualty could build a greatful outcomes by generating an
amount of knowledge. In my life as what I have viewed my self at this moment I
connect every experiences as for me it is very useful to be applied in engaging
everything. I scanned something about my experiences to process the connection of it
to produce an idea to dicover new learnings taugh by anyone.
Seeing myself who tie everything I've experience, and breaking negativities
while planting positivity I could describe my self as a learner who use a connector to
link the bridges of knowledge in producing Ideas. Myself is the reflection of the past
that I've experince to form me as a person who grow in this world. A person who
grow holding nothing but a faith to continue living and walking on the road of life
 which contains a thorny station, a rocky road, a smooth and raugh road condition of
life.
