1. What values are common to them?
- The common factor, I believe, is that they are all Generous. They assist those in
need and contribute whatever they can.

2. How do values rule or influence their life or career?

- They have many friends as a result of their generosity. It is said that it is better to
give than to receive. Blessings abound because people want to give without
expecting anything in return.

3. What values are most interesting for you? Why

Being intelligent is the most interesting thing to me. This ability is not obtainable to
everyone. Some people become intelligent as a result of extensive study. My Grandfather
and Father know everything simply because they enjoy watching documentaries, reading
books, newspapers, and observing their surroundings.

WHAT’s NEW

Now that you already have an idea about your personality traits, let us now examine the
different situations that challenge you, as an adolescent, in planning your career path.

John and his three siblings became orphans since he was 14 years old. Since then, his
grandmother looked after at them. Unfortunately, her grandmother died two years ago. He is the
eldest and now a graduating senior high school student. He has a five-year old sibling, the
youngest, whom he brings to the Daycare Center every day before he goes to school, and
another sister with Down Syndrome whom he makes sure to securely leave at home.

His dream is to finish his studies in college for he knows that it is the only way that will
change their lives. Sometimes, he chooses to skip school, because he needs to work. The
distance from their house to his workplace is relatively far, but he still chooses to walk to and
from work. There are times that he grabs different opportunities like TESDA scholarship to have
an additional skill. He also works at the school canteen after his classes. In addition, he gets
extra work in the farm.

With the help of his second sibling who does not go to school, he tries to provide for
their family’s needs every day. Neighbors and other people sometimes give help to them.

Finishing his high school is tough. Trying to endure it until college is even tougher. He is
eager to pursue it, though.
 Unfortunately, now that we have a health crisis because of COVID 19 pandemic, the
once hard life that they have has become even much harder for them.

Processing Questions:

1. What are the conflicts encountered?

The first is that John has a sister with Down syndrome who requires extra care. Another
sister is very young and must be looked after as well. There's also a Covid 19
complicating things for John.

2.What values and personal traits does John have?

John is a very hardworking and loving person. He works hard to meet the needs of his
siblings. He is also a caring brother, taking care of her two siblings despite the fact that it
is difficult for him because he works and studies at the same time just to provide them
with basic necessities.

3. If you were John, what would you have done to improve your living while still trying to pursue
your dreams?

If I were John, I would keep working while also finishing my studies. This is the only
way to improve our living conditions and have a better life in the future.

4. What factors might influence his career planning and decision making?

I believe his health will be one of the factors influencing his career planning and decision
making. To achieve his goal and overcome all of life's challenges, John must be healthy
on a daily basis.
