UNDERSTANDING THE SELF

QUIZ ON ECONOMIC AND SPIRITUAL SELF

Name FLORES, JAMIE MIKAELA A.__________________ Date DECEMBER 12, 2022_________

Please answer the items briefly and concisely.

1. What would be the two important factors (e.g., price or brand) that you will
consider if you go shopping (either mall or online)? Explain. (10 pts.)
For me it is the price. I’m a student so I don’t have that much money to splurge on
my clothes and accessories, so it is really important for me to consider the price and
the quality of the clothes or thing that I wanted to buy. Sometimes when I have that
money to spend or if I think that I deserve a reward, I disregard the price and look
for a specific brand.

Choose ONE title for your essay. (20 pts.)

a. Personal Experience Leads Me to Believe God Exists
b. My Personal Experience with God
c. The Role of God in My Personal Transformation

I BELIEVE IN GOD, BUT I DON’T BELIEVE IN RELIGION

I grew up in a very religious family, and it groomed me to believe that there is a

God, and that I should refrain from doing bad things so that God won’t punish me. But
as I grew up, my faith in our religion slowly vanished because I don’t like the way they
give their sermons and how they talk about other people’s religion. When I matured
enough to understand how religion works, I slowly distanced myself from my religion
and some of my shallow-minded relatives. My parents also distanced themselves from
that religion, so I spent my teen-days up until now as an agnostic. I don’t really have
that personal experience with God, I just pray from time-to-time because it gets lonely
sometimes, and I feel like talking to God lightens up my mood and burdens.
