Reflection about Human Development

Last Meeting, we learned about the development of every individual. I

learned that growing up from child to teenager physically is called growth and
on the other hand, the changes in our behavior, maturity, skills are called
Development. I’m very fascinated about this kind of idea because I also know to
myself that I changed a lot, from my height, weight, attitude and etc. I also
observed that it’s not only me who experienced this kind of change, I also
observed it with my friends and other people.

Human Development helps us to understand ourselves better. By

knowing what we really are, what we really want, what we don’t know and also
we can also gain knowledge about our strengths and weaknesses. We can focus
on enhancing our weaknesses, it can help also us to face problems and
improving our mental capability such as Metacognition and cognitive thinking.
The development of every individual is continuous, it started when we were
only babies until we grew up, we learn new things every time, we discover
different things, we gain knowledge everywhere and it will only stop when our
time is up. I’m also experiencing this, I learned from others, I learned from my
mistakes and I take it as a lesson for better improvement.

But as we grew up, we couldn’t deny the fact that we also face problems.
An example is that, “male grew their mustache”, as it grows, many individuals
will judge it and make fun of it. They will make fun of the changes about our
height, appearance, weight, and even having acne. Another example is that as
we grow up, we become more mature as we realize a lot of things and as a
result, many of one friends will call us “kill joy” for not joining them in a party
and drinks. As a Student, we all know that changes and development is
inevitable, that is why we need to accept the changes in our body and also we
need to respect the changes and development of every individual. Treasure what
we have, we have our own capabilities and own multiple intelligences.
