Motivation

I have several questions here, class.

These questions will make you share your
personal opinions. Don’t worry because
no answers will be rejected. I will
respectfully accept your answers.

Are you now ready, class?

Yes, ma’am.
Okay. Let’s start!

(first question is being flashed in the

screen)

a) Would you like to be an assistant of a

celebrity? If yes, who it may be and why?
If no, why not?

Remember that your recitation will be

graded.

Raise your hand.

I would like to be an assistant to a
celebrity, and he is Boy Abunda because I
know that I have a lot of things to learn
from him, he is an intelligent person and
also a good role model to everyone.

Thank you. I agree. I also admire Boy

Abunda because he is very smart and
articulate.

Let's move onto the next question.

b) What will you do to get the job of your

dreams? Will you be able to sacrifice your
principles?

I’ll do my very best just to achieve my

dream job but in a way that I am not going
to sacrifice my principles.
Thank you. Yes, that’s right. A good
dreamer must have integrity in all ways.

Thank you to those who shared their

answers.
